I have one of those too! Tomorrow, he's oiling our soapstone countertops again. <br /><br />Your mahogany counter is stunning, and I love that little round sink; so cute!

Now...I don't think I've ever seen your "breakfast set" of dishes...I love them!!! Sooo pretty! And of course, I have seen your Quimper...in fact, you are the first to have taught me about those fabulous French dishes!!! Anyway, I enjoyed seeing all of your pretties and I totally agree with you about your honey being the best (well, after my honey, of course!) God has really blessed us with such dear, sweet husbands! I'm very thankful!!!<br /><br />Well my friend, I also read your "apologizing" post and just wanted to say that...Darlin', I love you just the way you are!!! Never change!!!

I can't see how anyone could say you were just taking up space! I love all your stuff! You have some really neat things, and always create beautiful vignettes and tablescapes with them! And you are one of the kindest and sweetest bloggers I know! You keep right on being "you!" I do know how you feel, though. I've considered just shutting my blog down several times, because I don't really know where I fit in. And I don't feel adequate or interesting compared to many blogs! Oh me, I just don't know! And then I have many people who browse my blog according to the site meter, but don't leave comments, and I think...did they hate the post & have nothing nice to say??? LOL! But I'm going into my second year of blogging, so I keep hanging on! Hope you will too! :)<br />~hugs, RhondaScooterblu's Whimsy~Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579132912621549737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-65186271779271262652010-01-16T12:42:24.197-06:002010-01-16T12:42:24.197-06:00It's a beautiful countertop.
