It's Spring: Time to redesign




Hello! I have made a few changes here this morning on the English Muse. I have a new header, by
the very talented artist, Lori Langille.
One of the joys of life is redecorating (blogs in included!)

What are you doing this weekend? It's like summer here and I'm going to the flea market to treasure hunt!! Will bring back pictures!

PS: I'm still tinkering with the background. I'll probably change it 20 more times. Do you do this sort of thing too?
Maybe I'm looking at my blog too much. :)

    Aww I really like the new design! =) Have fun exploring today! I wish it was warm enough over here to go to the city and wander. Fingers crossed it will be soon!

    Much love!

    I LOVE the new header. I did a bit of redesigning myself... key word being "myself". It looks a bit like a 3 year olds first time with crayons.

    I'm looking forward to more book suggestions soon! Right now, I'm reading The Lotus Eaters, by Tatjana Soli. So far, I recommend it.

    Cool new design - I wish I had the skills or talented friends to dress mine up a bit.

    Love the new design and header. Good luck at the flea market! Mothering Sunday in the UK, not to mention my beloved Nan's birthday, so a gathering of the clan is in order.

    Wonderful, Tina. Lori is great. I look forward to the flea mkt. pix.

    I'm trying to redecorate (bricolage, GG's is fine for now), too.

    I like the new look. Very you (or you as in your blog!)

    I'm thinking about hitting our art museum which features a Chineese painter Yue Minyun and walking in the way of all the people in a hurry! ;) My favourite pass time *lol*

    I live in Buenos Aires and I am thinking about going to the Flea Market to see if I can find some old mirrors , a Bentwood Rocker and or a rug.
    Most likely, I will come home with something entirely different.
    Happy to have stumbled upon your blog ~ C

    my first impression upon loading your new page made my tummy do a little flip! It is so...vintagey and elegant, tastes like a fine french pastry,beautiful and has the faint intoxicating perfume of fresh berries and cream coming from that gorgeous pale pink background. MMMMM! love love love!

    Must be in the air! It's lovely to refresh as is evidenced by the new design! Love it! Lori is such a sweet talent so it makes for a perfect pairing with you. :)

    Change the background 20 times? I hear you! And, how! ;)
