I got the Proximade Award!

"This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

My Proximade Award was granted by the Celebrated Mrs Woffington. I am supposed to choose eight historic blogs, but I actually threw in a couple ultra-friendly but not so historic blogs too. The eight blogs to which I'm granting this award are:

Jane Austen's World
An excellent blog on Regency and Georgian England!

Marie Antoinette's Gossip Guide to the 18th Century
A gorgeous blog about the lifestyles of the upper classes of French society in the 18th century.

From the Desk of the Velvet Scribe
The fun (and often historical) interests and hobbies of a gal in Philadelphia.

The Dss of Devonshire's Gossip Guide to the 18th Century
A fascinating blog about 18th-century English lifestyle, featuring the "Tart of the Week" each Friday!

The Paris Apartment
Beautiful photos and lovely furniture! A real feast for the eyes!

Austria's Next Top Model Author
The blog of a multi-talented model/writer/student. She features some lovely photos as well as fun music videos from her vacations.

The Confessions of a 20 Something Year Old
Hilarious!! And while it isn't terribly historical, Cheryl certainly aims to be friendly--she gets about 40 comments/post and makes an effort to respond to each of them!

18th-Century Passions & Obsessions & Other Beautiful Interiors
A new blog featuring pretty, historic objects and nice photos.
