Results and Ornaments

Thank you all for the sweet blogiversary wishes. I just can’t believe it’s been one year! I'm planning a giveaway soon to celebrate that and my 200th post. So stay tuned . . .

I wanted to let you know the results of my blog music opinion poll. There were more of you who preferred not to have music, and even those of you who enjoyed music preferred soft playing music, without lyrics. Many of you stated that you have the sound turned off while reading blogs because music is a distraction to you. Several of you emailed me, saying that music will actually keep you away from a blog. One of you said the reason for this is that many times the volume on the players is so loud it blasts, and if you forget to turn your sound down, it scares you! Thanks so much for letting me know your feelings on blog music.

Ornaments

Every year I like to add one Christmas ornament to our tree. This year the ornament I will be adding is from one of our very own talented bloggers. I recently visited the beautiful Kristen Robinson’s blog. She created a lovely batch of ornaments that are currently being featured in the latest Somerset Life Magazine. She’s also created some for her Etsy shoppe. I fell in love with the one called, The Music of My Soul.

I received my ornament yesterday with another gift inside.










Aren’t they beautiful? I was thrilled when I saw the other ornament that Kristen had included. It is called From the Ball. I love it, Kristen. Thank you. I will treasure them both!

Nancy,

I just love these ornaments and the names she gives them are enchanting....

When I saw them in Somerset life I had glass ornaments dancing in my head..
I envisioned a tree that would be fitting for the snow princess herself.
Antique sherbet colored ribbons tied at each top, crystal icicles and glass glitter snowflakes.
And inside of each glass ornament, the list is too long…

Congratulations on one year blogging. Time is really flying when you are having fun, don't you think? Those ornaments are lovely. I like to have (at least) one new 'vintage' ornament a year too, that way you create a tree filled with memories. I'm fond of that.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Nancy!

Don't you just love it when you order an item and get a little something extra? A lot of Etsy folks are like that. I think my favorite is the one you chose with the bits of sheet music.

Congratulations on the extra little gift, and thanks for pointing us to her shop.

Hugs,

Kate

Oh, I love the ornaments! How different and sweet they are. As for the music on the blog, I must have missed that. But I'm one of those who keeps it turned off because I don't want to get startled.

Nancy,
The ornaments have a bit of a Marie flair and are so sweetly feminine!
