Happy Friday everyone! Thrilled the weekend is here as I need a few days of down time with no schedule…..it’s been an unusually busy week.  Our holiday gift wrap presale is in full swing and so happy you all love the papers as much as I do, click here to visit the gift wrap presale.  I look forward to recharging over the weekend and then will be ready to roll up my sleeves for Monday! We have a lot going on over at The Enchanted Home with many new products coming in which is of course incredible exciting, kind of like Christmas in September:)

So this past week I went onto Instagram and lo and behold I had reached 85k followers!!  Nearly did a back flip I was so excited. What an incredible validation for what I so love doing. Instagram has become such a big part of what I do. Many readers and customers have found me on Instagram and there is simply is no denying the power of social media and the reach is has in an instant. A pretty amazing phenomenon.

So I immediately said that called for a celebration and starting today, we are offering 20% off SITE WIDE! The only exception are presale items. Other than that, nothing is off limits. This just doesn’t happen every day, reaching 85k  and I am so grateful for all who follow along with me. I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my all time favorite Instagram posts, some going way back. As in almost to the beginning!

This is like a walk down a virtual memory lane and somewhat like a highlight reel. Some of these pictures are very personal to me, like my very first post (first picture shown here) my first little desk in my new office, birthday tributes to my boys, many happy occasions like trips and destination weddings. the evolution of my business, my obvious love affair with flowers.

And then some sad ones like Teddy’s passing, along with a few emotional ones like the beautiful picture of my dad helping my mom post surgery and my niece finally get discharged from the hospital after 6 long grueling months.  And you know what? You were there with me through it all!

Ready?  You may want to sit down for this, I went a little crazy with the pictures but there were so many special ones, it was like choosing a favorite child:) And here we go……….

Well if you made down this far, thank you!  Yes, clearly I had a very hard time narrowing down my favorites, but I got so carried away when I started scrolling back, smiling, laughing and even even a little crying as we all know how pictures can illicit such an emotional response

Pictures are so precious to me, as they allow me to reflect back on so many stages of my life, the good, the bad and the not so pretty. What a wonderful way to chronicle my life the last four years seeing it through Instagram….who knew the journey it would take me on!

Thanks for stopping by, wishing everyone a great Friday and smooth sailing into the weekend:)  Until next time……….

****A CAKE PLATE/DOME UPDATE- Many of you have been waiting on these, as you know we had a manufacturing issue and we had to refuse the shipment. The domes were all remade and came out beautiful and are in the warehouse. The platters however have taken longer but finally they got it right. We are due to get a small shipment this coming week and then the rest will follow. For anyone who is waiting, let us know if you want us to ship the cake dome now and the platters later. We really aprpeciate your patience and all we can say is, we are confident that you will agree they were worth the wait:) Quality is of utmost importance and I would not accept anything less than perfect.****
