to feature an Etsy Treasury is a beautiful way to say 'i'm looking for you'.

to be featured in an Etsy Treasury is a beautiful way to say 'i found you'.

with Etsy the protocol when featured in a Treasury is to ('heart') like all of the other artist's photos that they have collected but this process, well it almost feels like it is only a formality of politeness.

but how can you combat the rules, the contract, the obligation? well i Blog, i Twitter, i Google +, i Pinterest, i Facebook, i Website it (i'm pretty sure that i do more but well those are the ones that i can see on my saved tabs above).

and this is how i say 'thank you' to curator: JoyForToes for featuring Stella in the Bright holiday_2 by Natasha

Does the o' count?

One Phrase + Many Meanings

One Phrase + Many Meanings =  ????

I am sure that the majority of anyone ( hopefully someones) reading this blog posting today already knows that not all catch phrases mean what they say they do or even originate from where they say they do. 

Now for those of you (hopefully different from the original someones noted above) who do believe in everything they hear or read (yes, sometimes it is nice to live in a bubble and yes, I love my bubble!) I'm hoping that some of the following might clear up a few things that you/we/me didn't know yet.

This ‘Random Thought of the Week’ is dedicated to just one phrase and how the hype of Hollywood and how its ramifications can and do reach worldwide.

“Top o’ the morning’ to you”

So off we go trying to find out the origin of this phrase and possibly a few I didn't know meanings, definitions, interpretations and the significance of these 6 words (just wondering if the " o' " counts?).

Well this sounds like a fantastic way to greet both friends and neighbours and in most cases it does literally mean exactly that but then... (I know, there always seems to be a 'but'!!).

After doing ‘some' (with 'some' being the operative word here) done a bit of research (okay, it did start out to only a few websites but ended up to be more like 6 or 7 website pages} (and hey, that really is a lot you know!) (and in the end, has almost taken 2 days to complete... so, um, yes, this blog is late, but you really didn't know that until now did you?) and in the end I found out some very interesting facts.
