The Lamp Hat Collection Wins a “7×7 Link Award”
16 JanThis just in…… The Lamp Hat Collection blog is excited to announce that we have won a 7×7 Link Award.
The rules for accepting the award are these:
1. Thank the Nominator.
Thank you, Christy at Poetic Parfait! This is an unexpected honor!
2. Share an in interesting fact about me.
My first car was a brown Dodge Dart. After a couple of months of driving it around (upon the recommendation of my then-boyfriend: ”It’s a classic!”) it began to spew black clouds of smoke. I took it in to a mechanic (also recommended by the erstwhile bf) who informed me that the Dart (aka “Brown Turd”) needed an engine overhaul. After this very costly procedure (for a poor working secretary in 1981 $600 was a helluvalot of money) the car began showing signs of more problems. The same mechanic informed me that THIS engine block had a crack in it and that I would need ANOTHER engine overhaul (yeah, he did not stand behind his prior work; AND I was hella-naive; plus by now I had left the boyfriend). My next step was to drive the Turd to a parts lot where they gave me $100 for it and I just walked away. There, now it’s off my chest. My next car was a red VW ’68 bug which I drove and adored for the next five years.
3. Share links to seven of my favorite posts from my own blog, categorizing them according to ‘most helpful,’ ‘most underrated’…
