I remember writing my first blog post and
being nervous. Once I did it, I said I'll try
this blogging stuff. This is what I wrote
celebrating my first year and it still remains
true today. Ten years lata here I am. Thank
you to all my new followers.
Big hugs to my long time followers who
come to see what I am up to.
I especially love the comments from people
who use your reader my blog then come back
to see I am still here.

It is a busy day for me here. I had to honor ten
years with a tea party.



Yes, my old friend Miss Claudie stopped by...


And my new friend Ted.


I got a delicious chocolate cake with pretty
tea cups.




We listened to music and I made a wish.


Miss Claudie was a little sloppy.


I enjoyed my cake so much.




Soon the party had to wind down..


Miss Claudie and Ted both had fun.



So did I. Thank you for celebrating my ten
year blogversary with me.

A Faerie enchanted Halloween Party

I'm excited to be part of A Fanciful Twist's Halloween Party hosted by the lovely Vanessa. Welcome new and old friends.

Let me introduce myself,  I'm Shell of Swan of Dreamers.  I have let my Faerie wings free today.

I've set the table for you, my friends. 

Yes,  there are chips for you in the tea cup

There is nothing better than Halloween Regency Books.  I ordered two books as a treat for myself. Please enjoy them while you eat cake. 

Using my magic wand,  presto... Our delicious cake is here.

Time for a drink.

Oh my,  what has Sir Fortune done now. Regency romances can be sweet fun.

My Faerie senses are tingling. I think more people are coming to our party. 

My boys are back!  Jacob reaching for an enchanted oreo cookie.

Here is my husband, Sean looking surprised that you all are here enjoying the party.

Time to cut the cake.

Here is your piece.

My boys and I are happy that you could come to our Halloween Party. Wishing you a wonderfully magical Halloween. 

Magic is afoot...

Hello, everyone. Shell wanted me to come on to tell you she is getting over a bad cold. No worries, she will be back here on Saturday,  October 25th.

There will be a magical Halloween Party here. Come by and see what Halloween delights is in store for you.  

Shsh, keep this between us but a Faerie may come to the party. 

All are in invited. Only treats, no tricks. 

Happy Thursday

Happy If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know it's my favorite day.

Thursday named after the Norse god of Thunder, Abundance, Fertility aka as Thor. Thursday is also aligned with the old Roman God Jupiter. Guess what Jupiter was best known for: Prosperity and Good Fortune.

Even if you don't believe in Thor or Jupiter, the fact that Thursday is aligned with them gives the day for me an extra juice of good fortune and fun. So don't wait for Friday to have your fun!! Do it on Thursday.

Since it's Thursday, I want to share with you that Vanessa over at A Fanciful Twist announced her annual Halloween Party. Click on the picture below and all the information about it will take you to her beautiful blog. I'm joining in. Hope to see you too.


If you have never done a blog party, let your imagination go and have fun. Halloween can be fun, scary, romantic, gothic..whatever you wish it to be. This is the party I did two Octobers ago. With all the busy schedules with Jacob, I wasn't able to participate last year.

Here is a simple visualization I like to do to feel inspired and full of good fortune. I was inspired by Summer McStracvick's Flowdreaming philosophy.

I close my eyes. I am walking under a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds. Suddenly, the energy of good fortune and prosperity comes flowing out of the sky. The color can change depending on what color connects with how I want to feel. The good energy flows around and through me. You can do this sitting down or standing. Whatever works for you. At least do it for 3-5 minutes. Choose whatever colors make you feel happy, prosperous and lucky.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thursday.

Tea Time

It's Tea Party Time!! Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist is hosting her 7th Annual Mad Tea Party on July 12th.Click on the picture above for more info. I'll be there. Hope to see you at the party too.

With all these scrumptious delights. Chocolate
is my fav. Hopefully, it is yours too.




Let me introduce you to my husband, Sean.



Here is our little doormouse, our son, Jacob.
Now Sean is explaining all the rules for a gentleman
at a Tea Party. First rule, no feet on the table!



As they talk, I'm enjoying this delicious cupcake.




Now, it's time for Sean to relax and enjoy his treat.



I share some of my goodies with Jacob.



Jacob is enjoying his chocolate.



All gone, Mommy says Jacob.




Are you enjoying all the treats and tea? I do
hope so my friends. Jacob is getting sleepy.
It's time for his nap. Daddy will take him to bed.
