Tell Me About YOU!

A sweet blog friend recently asked me to participate in a "getting to know you" post with all kinds of fun questions. I loved reading hers, but I'm opting out. Because the truth is, I'd love to know something about YOU!

Beginning with...


Knowing who you are sure would inspire me! Imagine what a conversation over tea would be like if I did all the talking...and never even knew your name!!! Blogging can feel that way.

So after two-plus years of me rambling on about myself, it's your turn! Don't quite know what to say? How about a few questions to get you talking:
  • What INSPIRES you...or makes your HEART skip a beat?
  • What are you DREAMING about these days?
  • What would the PERFECT DAY look like for you?
  • Do you have a favorite HOBBY...or something NEW you'd love to learn?
  • What DRAWS you to this little ol' blog?
  • Is there anything you're hoping I'll say MORE about? Or photograph more often? 
  • Do you have your own BLOG? I'd love to visit!
I hope you'll indulge me with a comment today {even if it's just your name}, because I'd love to know who you are! {Email subscribers need to click here to leave a comment. Feeling shy? Send me an email!}

***Added note: feel free to tell me about you ANYTIME...even if it's months later. I'll still be here!

Love and hugs,

P.S. I have no idea how many people read my small potatoes blog, but I'm astounded to see that there are nearly 1,000 people following my Pinterest boards. Not quite sure what that says! Write less? Oh, but the writer in me can't stand it! Plus, I love getting to know you here!

I've been following your blog for a while now and love all of your home inspiration photos... which is why I LOVE following you in pinterest! :)
As for me, I love home decor crafts, photography, Jesus, rambling on and "keepin' it real" over on the ol' blog, my boys, and reading about how other people's lives. We're all so different, so it's fun to see what works for others and makes people tick. :) Happy Friday!

I read! I met you when you did your mini flea (which my sister and I loved!). I will send you an invite to my blog: www.shaewilson.blogspot.com
I live in Houston and just like reading other Houston blogs to see what fun stuff people do around town, how they decorate, what they do with their kiddos, etc!

I love your blog! I discovered it when I googled something and your blog popped up! (Of course I can't remember what I googled.)
I enjoy your posts about your family and your faith and I am in total awe of your creative talent. I wouldn't change a thing.:)

Hi Linsey!

Love the beauty our Lord has created that you capture, both in words, thoughts and photos! It is always a nice "respite" to spend a few moments taking in your blog.

I'm a homeschooling Momma with an awesome hubby and kids who has a passion for orphans. The perfect day will come this year when we bring our fourth child home from China where we will spend 2 whole weeks together bonding with him as a family!

Would love to have you visit our little humble part of the internet! www.eastheadswest.blogspot.com
Thanks for sharing your heart and your beautiful designs!

Met you through "Cote" - came to your mini flea, BUT loved seeing the JOY of the Lord so present here. Then, you attended Captivating and I was on my way. My tiny blog has been dormant for a bit; {rough fall}, but a new year = peace-FULL! Hopefully we'll re-connect. xoxo

Your questions are a great way to get to know someone. Beauty in nature, interiors, photography, food, and people invigorate me and makes me happy. I always am dreaming of pretty accessories, remodeling my kitchen and bathroom and adding to and embellishing my garden. The perfect day for me would be taking a trip with my husband and discovering wonderful restaurants and places of interest. A great day would be antiquing, visiting nurseries with lots of statuary elements and beautiful plants and having a good lunch with family or friends. When I learn something new about the computer or blogging or design of any kind it makes me happy. I was drawn to your blog because of beauty. I think you have a gift with words, photography and your spiritual faith is inspiring to me. Yes, I have my own blog and would love for you to visit. http://livingwiththanksgiving.blogspot.com
You should be able to click on my picture and go right to my blog.

I just love that a visit to your blog is just like a visit to your house for coffee. Love it.

What am I dreaming about these days? I'm dreaming of my very own beagle puppy. Those ears, those eyes. I have puppy lust...

Jennifer @ Studio JRU said...

What draws me to this blog... YOU of course! I love to see what you are up to, see what you are creating, see what you are taking photos of. I love your blog just how you have it now. A nice variety of your life! Perfect. :)

Unmistakably BLESSED said...

So--as I venture into the new world of slipped furn--I have a question for you. Are your slips linen? Do you clean them? If so, um, how do you do that??? I haven't a clue. Thanks for any advice you can give--I think it's going to make me want lots & lots of Quatrine pieces, but I'll have to set a lofty goal of one or two a year, I think! Big hug--enjoy your Sunday evening!

LLH Designs said...

Hi Amanda! I machine wash on cold with a gentle, natural detergent. I use the dryer, but don't dry them all the way. I have linen as well as linen/cotton blend. I LOVE my Quatrine furniture. I was very patient to accumulate the pieces I have. Worth the wait. People can't believe that my family room sofa is 12 years old with the original slip!

Hey Linsey! I started reading your blog when I discovered your LLH Designs website. Your honesty and finding beauty in the simple things is what draws me in each day. Now that I have gotten to know you, your blog reads just like you are literally talking to me. I love that!

Something about me: the world of interior blogs that I discovered 2+ years ago has changed my life. They are like a little private community where I escape a few nights a week. I am so inspired by everything I read and see.

Hope you have a Happy Tuesday! And, a very Happy Birthday!

My heart skip a beat when I see the smile on my hubby and kiddos and my heart overflows with hugs from them.

I'm dreaming about a cafe with lovely furniture and accessories, all with tag prices ready for the taking -- and it's mine!

A perfect day to me is I am at peace with myself regardless if I'm alone or among the crowds. No need to take control.

My favorite hobby is junk/vintage hunting and being inspired by it to create something beautiful.

Your place, your family, and you are beautiful. That's what drawn me here. You're an inspiration.

Stay true to your voice and heart. It's not about MORE but about what you love to share.

I have my own little corner at http://bendedspoon.wordpress.com/
Not all that I write in there is important, sometimes it's very important -- depending on the need or the mood or the heart of the reader.

God bless your beautiful family :)

My name is Mary Beth--I found your blog about a year ago when searching the internet about food dye allergies. A quote you left on your blog one day, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" inspired me and helped me make a huge decision about returning to a very stressful job full-time. What inspires me is my family. As I sit here on the East Coast in January I am dreaming about the beach. You and I share a love--Midcoast Maine. I love your blog for its sense of style and beautiful images. Thanks for all the inspiration--glad you are back to blogging after your card season!!
