A New "Rug" and "Curtains"

Happy New Year's to all!

Thank you to all the wonderful readers and fellow bloggers for this great year of blogging. So often, I try to understand the loyalties and friendships that develop via comments, e-mails and blogs. I don't understand but I do so very much appreciate it. Happy New Year, everyone! May 2007 bring much kindness, much generosity and very very much "wuv"!

In the last three weeks, the move-it-around and shake-it-up mood struck with a vengeance.

On a whim, I entirely swapped the dining room and living room -- not something recommended two weeks before Christmas but which did, happily, result in a luxurious "new" dining room with a fireplace and a beautifully organized hutch (many thanks to my fourteen-year old nephew's lovely sense of asymmetrical symmetry, thank you Alex!) AND a cozy and useable "new" sitting room with wonderful light and a garden view.

But if you look around a bit, A Veggie Venture has a new rug and curtains too!

Many thanks to the creative and technical team at Matchbox Creative who've done wonders on the Blogger platform, don't you agree? It's sooo great to work with smart, creative folks who challenge your thinking and also understand practicalities, deliver on promises and meet deadlines!

And fellow food bloggers: You'll be especially pleased to know that the creative half of the Matchbox team is our very own Kickpleat from Everybody Likes Sandwiches!

And tomorrow? It's back to low calorie and low carb vegetables, which will look -- and taste?! -- even better in their spiffy new surroundings. Thank you, Kickpleat and Cornelius! We'll raise a glass in your name tonight!
