My 100th post...a little celebration!

A tea party setup....we all know how much I love those:)

o today marks a milestone in my blogging career, my 100th post.  WOW, did I really have 100 things to write about?!!! Evidently, the answer is YES.  In June, I wouldn't have imagined that I would enjoy blogging as much as I do, or that I would be here at 100 posts. 

The people that know me well, know I am a bit neurotic, and tend to start things and, well, how shall I put this, loose steam...perhaps, when the novelty has worn off.  Well, I must say that blogging has had the opposite effect on me...I have wanted to move full steam ahead. It has been so much fun to meet(virtually and hopefully in person some day!) like minded people, that enjoy so much of the same sorts of things that I do.  They understand and "get" that I love to fiddle in my home, that I enjoy sewing, the excitement I feel when my design magazines come in the mail and when a good design book comes out,  others who love "treasure hunting" as much as I do, and all of the other 100 things I have been able to muse about. I have learned that I really enjoy taking pictures, and that writing is something I enjoy even more. (well most of the time!) A blog is the perfect outlet because I get to meld these two things together.

 As a celebration of my 100th post, I bought myself 6 blush roses.  You know, just a little gift to myself, flowers always make me happy.  When I got them, I thought, "I sure wish I could share these with all of the people that have been so supportive during the past few months"....and then a little lightbulb moment.   I am going to PRETEND.  I am going to set my table for an imaginary party.  Adults can imagine too, you know;)

Since I enjoy most of my blogging while sipping my coffee or tea, I brought out some beautiful French China, and the silver of course and had a pretend celebration.  I want to send a special thanks to PVE, Rene, Pretty Pink Tulips, The Zhush, The Buzz, and The Perfect Gray for all of your consistant support.  You all have given me the steam to stay commited.  I smile inside (and out) every time your names pop into my inbox.  And I can't wait for all of the the new friends that blogland will bring my way.  You all are an amazing group of ladies and I can't wait to maybe meet you in person some day.  (I also want to send a shoutout to my Mom for her neverending support, she would definitely be invited to the celebration too!

 Here are a few photos of how I imagine our Little Tea Party Celebration...

I thought we could have some Chai Tea Latte from Tazo Tea or I could try my hand at some Pumpkin Spice Lattes..... One of my favorites!

I would serve you all from a pretty silver tray, of course:

And then we could nibble on scones (chocolate anyone?) Served out of these pretty plates. Or some sumptuous cupcakes....

pretty Haviland China Plates

And of course I would send you home with a little gift.  Maybe a little packet of personalized letterpress cards, like this.

I hope you enjoyed the little virtual celebration, and I leave you with a little bloggy inspiration.

I read an awesome article recently from A Gift Wrapped Life, about her blog adventure, it was written on her 1 year anniversary.   It about sums it up, and is so true.
