Blogging Anniversary #1

A year ago, on my birthday, I launched, "An Affection for Staging".

Happy 1st Anniverary Blog!  Happy Birthday, me!

What an incredible year it has been.  So many new friends in blogland! Maria, Heather, Patty, Linda, Loi, Nancy, Brittany, Gina,Kim, Kelli, Kerri, Beth,Traci, Danni, Taylor, and Karen just to mention a few of my wonderful blogging buddies.  Is like being grown up pen pals!  Who knew you could develop such endearing friendships without ever meeting?

My passion is staging.  I stumbled into staging in Act 2 of my life.  Staging combines by my love of design, decor, and shopping for all things home related from fixtures to furniture. Staging satisfies both my curiosity and piques my interest on the crazy world of real estate.

Nothing compares to the thrill of the hunt for the perfect staging pieces.  Nothing is more gratifying than the Seller's reaction to the transformation of their home after staging.  Nothing is more rewarding than getting the "we are under contract" call. Nothing is as encouraging as reading a thoughtful comment under a post. (OK, OK...I'm being dramatic saying 'nothing is as great as'--excluding falling in love, babies, sunrises, etc.--but you know what I mean.)


I began writing this blog because I  had so much I wanted to share about my experience in staging.  Blogging allows me the opportunity to let it all out.


That even one person would be interested in what I have to say is flattering and humbling.


Thank you my foreign readers in Canada, Russia, South America, New Zealand. France, United Kingdom, Ukraine,Germany, Japan, and Slovenia.

Thanks my lovelies for responding with enthusiasm, sharing ideas and showing support.

Y'all are the best!  Happy Friday, y'all!
