{dressing up the blog}

So you may have noticed a few changes around here. {Bits of Beauty} is getting a new look with the help of Tina at {Luphia Loves}. The makeover is still in progress, so please excuse the dust. {If you are reading this through a feed, you might want to visit the page.} So, what do you all think? I’d like to hear your thoughts.


Hope you all are having a beautiful day!

Update: Still tweaking the banner. Although, it wasn’t intended to be so similar, it ended up too close for comfort to another blogs banner. What do you all think of adding some blue flowers and changing to gold scrolls? I’m at a loss for ideas!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every city made the usual eyesores beautiful? Philadelphia unveiled these lovely recycling trucks this year on Earth Day.


And, apparently Japan has the loveliest manholes in the world. These are just a few, but from what I have seen there are hundreds of unique covers. Talk about a random bit of beauty!


More on Japanese manhole covers here.
