Coolest Blog Award

The Powell River Books Blog just received its first award from a fellow blogger. I was very honoured when Captain Jack Flash (a horse of a different colour for sure) included my blog on his list of honourees. I can just visualize his hooves typing on the keyboard, can't you?

To carry on the tradition, I am going to bestow this award on some of the blogs I enjoy visiting on a regular basis:

Margaret at Thistle Garden - Margaret blogs about life in a semi-rural location and her float cabin up Powell Lake.

Denise at Vintage Log Cabin - Denise and her husband have a log cabin in Northern Michigan which they both love to blog about.

Smalltown RN at A Place I Call Home -- Mary Ann blogs from Vancouver Island about a wide variety of topics including the beauty and natural surroundings of her "small town."

Kent at the Tiny House Blog -- Kent and guest authors provide lots of information about tiny houses and cabins from around the world. I invite you to head on over and read several articles I wrote about float cabin living.

Pat at CommonWeeder -- Pat blogs about organic gardening and sustainable landscaping. I get lots of great ideas for my own garden.

As Captain Jack mentioned, it is hard to pick out just a few favourite blogs for special recognition. I want to thank all of my readers for their time, comments and suggestions. You make blogging fun and exciting. -- Margy

Powell River Books Showcased on Tiny House Blog

Last month I introduced a great blog called The Tiny House Blog. The author is Kent Griswold, a fan of small structures.

The goal
of the tiny house blog is to discover the different options available for a person looking to down size into a tiny house or cabin.

After I posted a picture of our float cabin on the blog's forum, Kent ask me to write some feature articles. The first gave some basic information and pictures about our float cabin on Powell Lake in Coastal BC. The second was about some of the conveniences that make our cabin a comfortable home. So, head on over to the Tiny House Blog.

Since the blog's inception in May 2007, Kent has worked diligently towards his goal. Now, over a year later, there are lots of styles and information to choose from such as:
If you like to communicate with other people who like cabins and other small structures, stop by the Tiny House Forum. And thanks again Kent for all the great coverage for Powell River Books! -- Margy
