Recently Dawn of As Sweet as Cinnamon asked bloggers to write a post about how they chose the name of their blog. I'm a bit late to the party but I've enjoyed reading about other names so I thought I'd join in too. Better late than never!
I have to honest and admit I really didn't think much about the name of my blog. In fact I didn't really think much about starting a blog. I just wanted to be able to leave comments on other people blogs but somehow I pressed all the right buttons and ended up as a blogger! So the name was an on the spot decision. I already had Rachaeldaisy as my Flickr and Etsy name so I thought something similar would be good. Daisy was the name of my beloved little dog.
Isn't she just so cute!! Don't ask me what breed she was. I would always joke and say an Irish Mouse Hound or a Bed Terrier. She was just the sweetest ever little dog that ever existed!!

So I tried Daisy Quilts, A Daisy a Day, in fact I tried a few different combos but soon discovered blogs including the name Daisy are quite popular! So I tried combining it with where I live, The Blue Mountains, Australia and came up with the winning name!
I'm so happy I ended up with Blue Mountain Daisy, It's fun, flowery and friendly and that's what I want my little piece of blogland to be about. I couldn't imagine being called anything else now. I have joked with Gbf that he could start a blog called Blue Mountain Days but he didn't seem very keen about the idea.

About 6 months after I started my blog I came across a vintage collectors card on eBay. (Ignore the cigarette part, I do not endorse smoking at all) Number 38 is Blue Mountain Daisy!! Of course I had to buy it!

It's like seeing my name in print from another time!
If you want to join in the name game or read some other posts about names pop over to Dawn's post at As Sweet as Cinnamon. Thanks Dawn for hosting a such a great linky party!
