Blogs of note ...

While wandering the inter-webs,  I've run across some very fun blogs.  I've even started a new category in my Google Reader and these ladies are some of my first entries.  

First up is "The Rich Life (on a budget)" by a beautiful young lady named - ta da - Adrienne, from Sonoma Valley, California.   Her motto is  "Spend Less, Live Better"

In her words:  

 "Living a rich life isn't about money. It's a mindset; a lifestyle. You can spend less without sacrificing quality. I will show you how! I live in the beautiful Sonoma Valley. Travel, books, cooking, exercise, wine, foreign flicks and a love for simplicity and sophistication is my rich life."

Adrienne has two darling Yorkies and a couple of bigger doggies, she likes Costco (and we all know how I feel about Costco!), has a handsome husband, and a little blue dress.  You'll have to go over there to find out about the little blue dress.  She is also over 6 feet tall  to my lowly 5"2", but I'm willing to overlook that 'cause she's such a nice lady. 

Here's Adrienne and her handsome hubby in France for her birthday trip...

While hanging out over at her place I noticed she follows the wonderful Diann at The Thrifty Groove, another great site.  

Next up is Fiona (don't you just love her name??) at How to be Chic.  We'll let her tell you about what she's up to:

"In real life, I don't live in a chic Paris apartment. I can make my real life more fun without having to move countries though. All I have to have is a little imagination. This is my online inspiration journal."

Pay this ladies a visit and plan to spend some time reading their delightful posts...
