Blogstar: Mallory of Where the Lovely Things Are

Where the Lovely Things Are is just filled with the brim with goodness! I love Mallory's taste in everything, her enthusiasm and super cute personality. You can tell she puts lots of love into each and every post- she just ended an epic book week series last week that was phenomenal! Her blog is filled with art and jewelry and fashion and so much more. If you're not reading it yet, you well should be!

Where do you live? Deep in the woods of Maine (well, not that deep: but it's pretty rustic). 

Where do you blog from? I just-just-just got a desk & my posture has improved significantly since I've started blogging from it. Before that: my futon, alongside a pillow shaped like a piece of toast from Wonder Thunder and a rather-violent looking stuffed shark (Sharkey) from Ikea. He's my mascot. Also, maybe I shouldn't confess this, but sometimes I blog from the bath. Yup: laptop on the edge.... typing away... The knowledge that my computer could easily fall in adds a little adventure to the process, I feel. 

How long have you been blogging? I haven't been at it that long: I started in January of 2009.

What's one of the oddest/sweetest/craziest or most memorable comments you've ever received? I've mentioned my (odd?) love of jellyfish and octopi and squids on the blog quite a few times, and some of my favorite comments (& emails) are from awesome-readers who give me links to cool sea-creature-related things. If Anabela's readers see lipstick shaped like a cat = they think of her. It makes me happy that when my readers see an octopus necklace = they think of me, haha.

What's one of your favorite posts/or fave series on your blog & why? I haven't done one in forever, but I've always been fond of my Etsy and a Movie series (I pick a movie and put together a whole bunch of goods found on Etsy relating to it, combining two of my loves) One of my very first posts was an Etsy and a Movie one... I totally need to start doing them again asap.

Who are 3 other blogstars, in your book? I could name at least a dozen (including you, Jena!), but - 1.) Megan of Commas and Clauses because her blog is a hilarious treat of joy (fashion! triangles! cats! videos!); 2.) Melanie of you are my fave because her faves = my faves; and 3.) Lyndsay of Coco Cake Cupcakes because I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing the absurdly awesome baked goods she concocts.

[Carrie]

Would love to see your blogstar segment continue! I love how we get a some background and hear from bloggers in their own words instead of just, "go see this blog, I love it!" We get to see why we should love it to. Plus it reminds us that there are very real people behind those creative blogs... they become more relate-able which is nice.

[Mallory]

It's by Elizabeth Kelly! http://www.etsy.com/shop/elizabethkelly I've been wanting one foreverrrrrr.

[Mallory]

Thanks for having me, Jena! You wonderful lady, you :)

[Zandri]

oh, yes please do continue with these! It's such a lovey, personal look on these bloggers. I'm loving it!

[Ana]

Yes, definitely keep doing them!! I love these posts!

[Dil]

I really like the blogstar series. I guess it depends on how many blogs you truly like and feel you can comment upon. That would probably determine how long to keep it going!

[seesaw designs]

[The Spotted Fox]

Well, Jena.... Kelly and I are the bloggers behind The Spotted Fox (www.thespottedfox.com) and it is our dream to be a Blogstar. We've sat at my kitchen table, crafting and asking each other, "What if Jena read our blog one day?" We've read yours for years and love that you are shining some light on your fellow crafty writers. We hope you'll take a look at our blog and give it a lil' thought :)
