Welcome to My New Home!

June 18, 2009 by WendyB

Come in, sit down, take a load off your feet! Can I get you a drink? Will you have a bite to eat? Please help yourself to the bagels and lox.

It's from Zabar's.

It's from Zabar's.

Thanks for joining me in my new neighborhood, which is part of my main website domain. My new, easier-to-remember URL is wendybrandes.com/blog/.A  The old Blogspot blog will, with any luck, redirect here, but if any of you bloggers would like to update your blog rolls with the new address, that would be nice, too. If you follow me on Google Reader, definitely update with the new address.

All the content from the old blog has been migrated here. Hopefully, so have all the links. If you have disappeared from my blog roll (or if you were never on it and think that you should be) or you see anything that’s not working, please let me know in the comments here. If you have a question — whether it’s about the new look of the blog, what I think of the use of steroids in sports, whether you can buy some jewelry, what books you should read, or if you should leave your significant other — feel free to ask via the comments or by emailing me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. (If you’re going to ask to borrow money, however, the answer is, “No.” Sorry.)

Feel free to stick around for coffee and dessert!

I like to make sure my guests are well-fed.

UPDATE TO ADD: Thanks for the love, Princess Poochie!

    As lovely and fucking awesome as the lady who writes it. You’re not going to stop the profanity on account of it being all corporate and such…are you?

    Looks amazing, totally jealous but in that I am happy for you kind of way. I can only imagine how much work this took. I bet it feels nice for it to be totally worth it.

    Well, what a nice new home you have here, Wendy! I would normally remove my shoes but I bet your rule is if they’re fabulous, they stay. (I’m really barefoot but let’s pretend I’m wearing some current season Balmains.

    And here’s some more love for your blogroll:
