Blog Collecting: Part two

Long time coming, no? I'll just pick up where I left off, then. ;)

The Pink Teapot is run by Janine, a very sweet and heartfelt writer who offers excellent etiquette advice. She always writes nice length posts on things absolutely relevant to real world situations, while I find that the brand name Miss Manners tends to handle only the most bizarre of all social situations. Which fork do I use underwater when dining with the sheikh, and whatnot. No, Janine always explains gently and gracefully the best ways for normal people to act and be received. Three cheers for Janine, "the people's Miss Manners"!

Letters of Note is such a fabulous and interesting blog. The author posts scans and transcripts of old, extremely cool letters, like this one from the leadership of Israel to Albert Einstein, requesting that he accept the presidency of Israel! Very easy to read, low involvement, and soooooooo cool.  (By the way, he obviously said no.)

Elsie Marley is the queen of tutorials. She makes the best ones, she finds the best ones. That's all there is to it. That, and her incredibly easy-on-the-eyes blog design. ;)

LetterHeady, by the same guy who does Letter of Note, is a fun showcase of some of the neatest letterheads around. Take a look. Great design inspiration, and just great for a little dose of neat-o.

Tavi is just hilarious. She is totally tiny and young (I think 13? Early teens, anyway) and just about the most fashionable and wonderful person. If she and I lived next door, we'd craft hats out of velvet and flounce about in brocade mixed with tulle. I'm just saying. Her posts on fashion are pure joy to read.

Ok! Just a few more! Saving them for another post! ;)
