glitterati

The wonderfully talented and prolificley (is that a word?) creative Nicky from http://Absolutevanilla.blogspot.com has bestowed on monkeys on the roof a gorgeous glittery prize. On behalf of the magnificent and mystical creatures that truly shine here - i am proud to accept.

This special Glitter Award is for bloggers who post in the spirit of the enchanted mists. So if your blog includes:

fantasy & science fiction (books, films, games),

fabulous artwork,

poetry,

spiritual stuff,

magic,

myths and legends,

enchanted creatures,

anything else mysterious, beautiful or otherworldly,

you might see one come your way!

As with all awards, there are rules and the rules of this award are...

1. Pass this award on to a maximum of five other blogs you think would make the horn glitter. If you only want to pass it on once, that's fine - but the magic dies if you keep it under your bed for too long! And don't forget to leave a comment on your chosen blog(s) to let them know about it.

2. Add the award to the sidebar of your blog with a link back to this blog/post.

3. Tell us your favourite:

Book

Film

Poem or song

Myth or legend

Enchanted creature

i hereby pass this award on to Pam at SpinyMarshmallows for her fabulous artworks,  her unique and magical observations in and around Zambia; to Reya of The Gold Puppy of course!;

I know Tessa has been tagged already, otherwise...; Amanda at the newly discovered Travels with Persphone  who lives in a world between ancient and modern; Geli of Letters from Usedom for her uncanny and perceptive insights into human nature and her magical concoctions of sumptious pies and cakes; and lovely lori of Lori times five for her post from california filled with sunshine and light, and lovely illustrations;

my favourite book is still Secret Life of Bees - i know i know. What I dont know is why this story resonates so strongly with me but i can read it again and again.

my favourite movie for the longest time was French Kiss with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline - I just love the setting, the way the characters evolve, the music, and Kevin Kline is fantastic as Luke, the dodgy frenchman

Poem or song - hmm - the Ancient Mariner is far too long to quote here but i do love it; favourite song - well i am a music junkie so tend to be more fickle on that one depending on my mood or circumstances

Myth or legend - I love the story of King Arthur - particularly the Merlin angle, the lady in the lake, and the sword in the stone

Enchanted creature - well that has to be the aardvark caught on camera recently with eyes like bright diamonds

thank you Nicky  xxx
