On May 19th, I was very honoured to receive an award From Nihal who lives in Istanbul .
She gave me the The Arte y Pico Award
I was honoured , happy , excited for several reason :
first because it was an award ( it seems like I'm kind of "star" )
Then because it comes specially from her and I love her blog
Then because it comes from Turkey and above all Istanbul
And last because I receive it like a gift
So now I will pick one blog that deserves this award , my choice is very hard as I would like to choose hundreds and even thousands of blogs
this award is given to blogs ''which nourish an enrich my spirit and creativity. In these blogs I see dedication, creativity, care, companionship, joyfulness, and overall, ART, so much art. With this award, I want to give attention to those bloggers who day after share thisspace, the blogosphere, and enrich every day a little bit more.''
The Arte y Pico Award comes with these rules:
1- Pick 5-blogs that you consider deserving of this award on the basis of creativity, design, interesting material, and contributions to the blogger community, regardless of language.

3- Display the award on your blog and include the name and link of the blog that gave it to you.
4- Link to this post at the Arte y Pico Blog, so everyone will know the origin of the award.

Bonjour Mél,
Opening my eyes this morning for another beautiful sunny day, and what a precious article I come across with!
THANK YOU so much for letting these words of your great mind inspire not me, all of us and help us to achieve our goals and live a fulfilling life. How nice to know that you are simply out there.
Be sure, your page is a 'Gift' for me that I can open again and again.

Thank you, thank you, Mélanie! What a wonderful surprise and such an incredible compliment coming from a woman with such *exquisite* taste.
I've finally had a chance to really comb through your blog and I need to catch my breath. I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the design inspiration. I'm in the middle of a major decorating project, so I REALLY wish I could pop over to your show room, say hello and pick out a few pieces. I have so many questions for you. I will have to save for later... but once again, thank you very much for the award!! You made my day, my week :)
