Celebrate!
I would never have believed when I decided that I would begin a blog this year, that in three months I would have written 100 posts, gathered almost 100 followers, and had 5000 hits to my site!I also would never have believed that in such a short time, I've met so very many remarkable people who are passionate about their art, their vintage and antique treasures, their desire to create a home of beauty and grace, and their support and encouragement of others.
It would be impossible to name all the people who I have started to look forward to reading about their days, or about their latest good read, or about the terrific finds they've made either in brick and mortar shops or online boutiques. I must admit, my favorite thing has been to see the plethora of photos of artists' work...I've been entranced, amused, humbled, and awed by so much of what I feel lucky to have not only seen, but privileged to have met the creators... for a somewhat-of-a-social-butterfly like me, that's a really important part of art - knowing the person who is responsible for it.
It's one of the most enchanting and clever books dealing with altered art that I've seen. I love my well-worn copy - and know that the winner will love it, too! Well, they'll love their new copy - they can't have my well-worn copy! Lisa also is the proprietress of Faery Enchantment and The Carnival Soiree - be sure to visit her delightful sites - lots of ideas, inspiration, and art!
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and you're entered! You don't have to have a blog, but if you don't, be sure to let me know how to contact you if you win! If you are a blogger and you choose to post on your blog about my giveaway with the above button linking back here, I will enter your name three times into the generator.
I will announce the winner on Wednesday, April 15. I'm not going to make a specific time, as I get the time zones mixed up - and I don't want to make myself feel pressured LOL. So at some point that day, I'll announce the winner.
Again, thanks for all who have welcomed me so warmly into Bloglandia!

Hi Tristan,
Read about you through Barton Originals. Sue had some very wonderful things to say about you, so I had to take a peak. Love it!! Your blog is wonderful and shall now be a follower to your world.
Congrats on your 100th post. Hmm, need to see how many I've written on mine...don't know, but I doubt it's 100!!
Look forward to your next post and musings.
Abrazos,
Georgina
Happy, Happy 100th post, Tristan! Your blog is always a place of beauty, fun and sparkle which is why you have many dedicated followers.
Woo Hoo Tristan, congrats on your 100th post! I always love to drop in and see what you are up to. Always something fanciful. I was so getting ready to buy that book on Amazon, think I'll wait a bit now and see if I get lucky. I found that drain guard in the big box hardware store around all the downspout junk. (very technical terms) I think it keeps leaves out of down spouts but who cares, they are so cute!
Hi! I came here through Gabriela's blog. Now I have to congrat you not only on winning the beautiful crown, but also on your 100th post and 5000th hit and still counting! I love the pink house and the pink couches and the fact that you stimulate your audience to go and make something. I will, thanks for inspiration!
Congratulations on your blog. I look forward to every update. You make me laugh - A LOT. Congrats to the winner of the book and if it's me, YEAH ME!
Congratulations! Well deserved...your blog is ever so cleverly delightful...I am going to have to PIN your quilt on my daughter's chest! She hung it above her dressing table, but has not dumped Bad Boy yet! **blows kisses** Deborah
What you a social butterfly??? I'd have never guessed ((G)) :) I will post your button on my side bar. But first I have to find my lucky faux rabbit foot key chain :)
Side note, THANK YOU!! My Somerset magazines arrived via "mule" yesterday, Woo Hoo. They will make the waiting for my MA mag. to get here a little easier. I sure hope it didn't accidently fall into a custom agent's tote bag :(
Congratulation kiddo I look forward to reading the next 100!!

ol long lost bernadette here! honestly tris, i feel like i've been in some kind of fugue state for weeks! thank you so very much for remaining my faithful blog friend! delighted for you dear at your HUGE blogging acumen and success! i fell head over heels with YOU and YOUR WONDER FILLED WORLD about one zillionth of a second into my first visit!
omg! the house! how in the world do folks make the decision to remuddle such a gem! as much as i can easily envision you and yours deservedly ensconced in that space in the beauty part, my spidey sense tells me it would have been a nightmare had it really materialized. take that for what it's worth, but i feel it strongly.
will make more effort to be a better blogger. my world is not nearly as juicy without daily visits to you and anne! go forth and knock 'em out!
It's my first time here, and I'm already hooked.
The give-away is just icing on the cake. :)
Congratulations on your instant success.
