1st Anniversary of Beadboard Upcountry Blog...

With coming back from NYC, and the Trunk Show and, losing Murph, I realized my 1st blog anniversary has come, and gone. It's causing me to reflect on the past year of blogging and the amazing friends I've made and met.......And I ask myself, have I improved any? I still have logistical issues on occasion......Have I learned anything?????YES!!! From reading all the other great blogs out there..... Had I any idea how much time it would take to keep up????? Absolutely not. Am I keeping up? Maybe.... Do I get anxious that I don't have followers in the four figures????? Sometimes, but I have other priorities.........I am the proverbial plate spinner.....I have several in the air and one occasionally starts to wobble...... Am I glad I started???? Yes. Is the shop and me better for it?
Definitely.... Thanks everyone for your tuning in over the past year, for "getting it" and taking a moment to see what a blog from a small shop in the sticks has to offer.....xoxox Maryanne

  12. Bon Anniversaire, Beadboard Upcountry! I hope you haven't sold out of those fabulous knits yet, because I glanced through briefly when you posted them but I didn't have time to decide which one needs to come live in my closet in Charlotte... :-) Which one do you suggest? I loved the one you had in Paris, and now you have all these CHOICES!!

  13. Dear Maryanne, it´s been a great pleasure meeting you through blogging and visiting each other. You are such a gifted woman with so much charm and elegance that I really have learned much from you. And more than that, you are a very sweet and delicate blogging friend who always has warm and affectionate words to me, for this I thank you so much (hope I make myself understand in english).
    My blogging anniversary has also come and gone and I really didn´t realize it, it is like yesterday I have started my blog.
    Much blessings and happiness to you always!!

  20. Congratulation on your first year of blogging Maryanne. You are one of those rare gems that we meet through this crazy world of blogging. I'm so..so happy we've crossed paths and I hope to hell I can see you during Roundtop. I loved the thought of being a proverbial plate spinner. That's me hands-down. I wouldn't want you any other way. Cheers my dear to another great 12 months. x Deb
