Hello and a very special welcome to you today! I'm so glad you stopped by! I'm just delighted to be participating in the Beautiful Blogging Party hosted by Joy of Cupid's Charm. About 80 bloggers are participating in this fun event so be sure to visit Joy's blog at http://cupidscharm.blogspot.com/. You will be able to access all of the Beautiful Blogging Party participants blogs and get inspirational creative ideas about the addictive art of blogging and meet lots of wonderful new gals as well! I have been blogging now for about four years and while I have not completely delved into it with the intensity that some of you bloggers out there have, I enjoy it immensely! From the moment I started my blog, I had the idea firmly planted in my mind that I wanted blogging to be something that I totally enjoy doing and not something that I feel like I have to do. There is nothing worse than feeling like you "have" to post something just because you haven't done so in awhile. Chances are if you have nothing to say or share, you probably shouldn't make something up just for the sake of posting. So I post when I want and when I can and resign myself to the fact that when I do post, hopefully it will be something that everyone will enjoy! A few reasons I enjoy blogging are....
to share something pretty...
to showcase cute projects using salvaged treasures...
to share home decorating with other romantics...
to feature a pretty find and so much more!
For me, blogging is all about expressing yourself and sharing your creative ideas, thoughts and inspiration with others. I love visiting blogland and seeing what all of you are doing from day to day. There is so much enthusiam everywhere! Whether it is seeing how salvaged treasures are being turned into heirlooms or how a pretty charm necklace is made, the passion and creativity of like-minded romantics the country over is amazing! Meeting new people and making new friendships is also another reason why I love blogging so much! When you blog, you have a whole network of best friends sharing with you, supporting you and rooting for you in your corner and vice versa. There is nothing better than the friendship of kindred spirits ~ you know, the kind of person who really "gets you"! That is what blogging is all about!
A nice little bit of icing on the cake for me is that I am absolutely thrilled to be featured in the Summer 2009 issue of Artful Blogging Magazine. What a nice treat and a real honor to be included in such a wonderful, creative magazine with so many wonderful women. Thank you Artful Blogging!
So drop me a comment or an email and let's get to know each other! I can't wait to meet you! ~Stacy~ xo

Stacy,
Good morning! I love your blog!!! It is so nice to meet you (you are the first person I have met at the Beautiful Blogging Party:). I collect handpainted porcelains so your first picture really made me smile (I also love roses and anything Victorian:). Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog. I look forward to visiting you again soon!
Blessings,
Kim
Congratulations Stacy, being featured in the magazine- I'm sure you are excited. I'll be on the look out for it...
I feel the same way about blogging, that it needs to be enjoyed, to have fun with it.
Have a Great Day-
Hello,
Blogging is wonderful. Love your art work.

Hello Stacy,
I do agree that blogging should be a pleasure, not a chore. Thankfully, I fall into the pleasure category. I'm so pleased to have discovered your blog through Joy's blog party, and within the pages of the new issue of Artful Blogging on the same day....I picked up my copy this afternoon. You have such lovely treasures.
Best Wishes,

I found your blog through Joy's Blogging Party. Congrats on being published in the issue as well. I'll be back to check out your blog!
Congratulations Stacy and I am so happy to meet you and find your gorgeous blog. I am a straggler from the blogging party, but I'm so glad I've continued on to find you and your exquisite space in this blogosphere. Your thoughts, photos, creations and even the soothing music has taken my breath away and inspired me this morning. I had begun to feel a sense of despair about being too sick to even play with my cherished supplies or work on my projects in progress. On Monday morning I will have surgery and I am so anxious to be recovered and happily lost in expressing myself through creating something with my heart and my hands. Thank you for your hospitality and peek into your world. I look forward to returning again and again (I'm bookmarking you right now). Have a beautiful weekend.
Hi Stacy! Thanks for stopping by my blog as well. I love your shabby, romantic artwork! Simply beautiful;) It is nice to meet you.
