Snowed in and blogging

Today we are rather snowed in. Consequently, we also enjoy an increased feathery traffic in the garden. Dr. Red here is a dearly beloved guest.

So, I decided to try and figure out the knack of redesigning my blog background. With a bit of help from an old blog post I managed to crack the code and now you can enjoy my detail photo of the Notre Dame of Luxembourg.

Also, I decided to share my favourite blogs with you hastily before the Reader retires. (Anyone knows yet about its future replacement?) While going through my subscriptions I discovered some great blogs that have no new posts anymore. One of them is The essence of Frenchness. The blog, written by a French amateur antique lover, who's really obsessed with 18th century grandeur, is quite interesting in itself, but if you're mad about interior design, I suggest you check out his favourite blogs. You may find a few new favourites.

Another fantastic blog that hasn't had any new posts for a while now is Art Inconnu (despite the title it's written in English actually). If you enjoy discovering rare treasures, this is the place for you! It's perfect to boost your knowledge of trivia to impress your unsuspecting friends, family or whomever you may encounter. And if you're just as obsessed with challenges as I am, you can also build a challenge on it. Though no new posts, it has plenty.

So go and discover something new and fantastic this weekend!

Do you have a blog? What kind of blogs do you read? Do you read any of the blogs on my Blogs I Read list? Let me know in the Comments below. (Mind you, I set all comments to moderate, so it may take a while to appear.)
