Guests,
If this is your first visit today, be sure to begin your partying at my The French-Inspired Satellite Party post and then return here to this post for more! Leave one comment at each party post to be entered into the drawing, up until November 5 when the party ends!
I am so glad you are having a good time mingling, and oh! what treats you have brought to share! Such lovely guests you are! We are still have a few teeny tiny technical difficulties with our exclusive party peek (so much for our blog party innovation! LOL!). BUT, have no fear, we did manage to get a few glimpses into The Blissful before we lost connection. We’ll bring you more as we have it! Let’s take a look all the way over in Canton, Ohio at The Blissful!
Oh, could you just move right in? I love it! Everything looks so festive! And there is SO MUCH to look at! I’d be spinning in circles touching and gazing at each delight (don’t forget, she is opening the online store in January so we can all partake of the goodness!) Do enjoy your peek, leave another comment to be entered again into the drawing, and come back again later for Satellite Party Take Three! Well be here all weekend! And hopefully at some point we will have Abby herself, if she doesn’t collapse from exhaustion first! She is a whirlwind, that girl!
Don’t forget to return for the party that never ends (click HERE) … you’ve gotta love that!
It all looks divine! Thank you so much ladies for sharing it with us.

WOW!! A person could create some serious debt in that place. But secretly, it might be worth it.
I posted your party on my side bar so that it’s up all weekend, if that’s ok.
Love,
Julie
Wish this place was nearby, talk about inspiration! Lovely tour.
Blessings, Karen

I have Loved Blissful for a while. I do wish she was in my Town… So Beautiful. Thank you for sharing…
I had to stop by to thank you for the lovely comments you left at my blog, and wanted to join in on the fun. I’m not so blog-savvy but learning, and yours is very insiring! Beautiful!
Oh my goodness…I love it all! Too bad Canton, Ohio is across the country. We have a lovely shop in town, Fleur de Lis, that has a lot of things like Blissful..just not as much. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful shop with all of us!!!!!!

Sigh!!!! Bliss overload…it’s a wonderful thing. Must be off to take a nap if wware partying for four days.
What a great party! I’ve invited all my readers to come along, too!
Love the shop! Wish it wasn’t so far away from me. Looking forward to when it becomes available online! Then I can finally shop there! HA!
Oh the champagne is so good. So icy cold and bubbly. What a treat to see Bliss. Sure wish I could actually go there in person. That’s my kind of store.
My heart be still!!
Hugs

Could I ever use some serious time shopping there. It looks delightful!
I’d love to visit in person too…not quite the same long distance. I always want to touch & feel all those goodies. Have a great weekend, Melissa!

oh, oh…. …just turn around once and be lost in there for hours….
Oh why can’t that store be in my town!? It all looks wonderful!
What a gorgeous shop! I know my husband will be happy that we don’t live anywhere near there, or we’d be broke for sure after a visit! I’m glad you are having such a wonderful time at your party, it’s been such fun! Thanks for dropping by my blog, I’m happy you liked your present. Very lovely photo of you btw! Great to see you sweetie!

I would SO love to physically be there! Looks like HEAVEN!!I could do SO much of my Christmas shopping….for myself of course!!!
This is fun. I just love browsing around places like these.
Congrats on your 100th post. I’d love to join the party.
I love your “party” idea! That is so cute and fun! All of those yummy pictures make me want to eat and shop… (two of my favorite things) Thanks for sharing all your pretties!!
Oh, I am a party girl from waaaay back, so I am enjoying this party very much.
How I’d love to get turned loose in that fabulous store with about 10,000 bucks! :)bj
Oo la la, it is blissful indeed, such a pretty shop to oarty in… its filled with all I need to get a party started… thanks for having me here, Hi Everyone!
Cheers
Oh my! What wonderful treasures in Abbey’s store, how gorgoeus!
What a charming place to visit. I could spend hours in there!
It looks like such a wonderful place and the beautiful treasures….wow! I’m off to mingle :)
I could live in that shop…
I love everything!
And I do mean everything…
Priscilla
Would love to see that shop in person! And meet the lovely Melissa in person too! :) I enjoyed my little visit to your party!

Beautiful, beautiful pics!!
What a fabulous place. That would be such a fun place to shop. Thanks for the pictures!
Donna
I can’t believe that I live so close to this store and am only just now hearing about it! I think I need to call my BFF and take a trip over there this weekend!
What a lovely shop! Everything looks fabulous!
I can hear my camera’s heart beating. Guess it wants to go there. Hmmmm…..amazing place. Thanks for the great party!
What a delight and special treat your pictures are to behold! Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely shop and so much eye candy. Enjoyed my visit. Happy party Mary
I would kill to be there right now – absolutly kill for it – keep it up – at least i can read about it
The more I see, the more I am ready to pack my bags and move from California to Ohio. So much for the gold rush! What an awesome shop!
Thanks again for doing this and for including little ol’ me.

Oh Melissa!!!! That is so my kind of shop-I want to fly right over (maybe not fly-sail lol!!) and start spending!! Maybe it’s just as well I can’t!! What a fab idea for a post!!
Oh, I love these pictures…would LOVE to have my own private party in that store!
Is that a wreath made of Christmas balls on the right-hand side of the first picture? I’m more than 400 miles from Canton, but that wreath makes it look totally worth the drive!
What a great idea…an online party!! I was lucky enough to visit Abbey and her shop last week. I also have a shop and we compared notes…what a wonderful place, and Abbey is so sweet!!
Oh how lovely!Where does one begin to look?So much beauty all in one place!thanks so much for sharing!
Sharon :-)
Could she move her shop to Atlanta? I could spend all day looking around and probably spend way too many pennies! So much eye-candy!
Manuela
What a fun party! Yes, I could live there :)
Oh gosh, that is just the perfect store for me. I am sad that it is so far away. I love unique, high quality knick knacks. I don’t clutter my house up with tons of them either. So each item that I do use has to be truely unique, and special. Heaven is all that I can say!
What a pretty store! I loved the just right combo of sparkle and aged neutrals!
Speaking of *internet* problems…I was the victim yesterday, so I am making it over today. Love, love love the store. I’ll just bring a truck and haul the whole store away :)
Oh Melissa, look at all of your comments. How cool! Love your pictures of this and your last post. Simply marvelous! Love it all and wish I could pop into that wonderful shop. Thanks for the yummy treats too, they were delish! Your blog is such great eye candy. You never disappoint. Keep up the good work!

Just found your site through Gracious Hospitality. I love the photos of your store!
As a hostess gift, I would bring a candle or set of candles hand painted by me, in the colors of the hostesses home, or a tea basket filled with a tea lovely cream colored for one pot and an assortment of black, green and herbal teas with a tin of cookies.
Hosting parties is hard work and a gracious hostess who opens her home to others, should be doted on.
Oh how I wish I could be there in person! Your shop is absolutely wonderful, and I think I would have to get lost in it!
I would shop all day. I still don’t think I could see it all. Thanks for shopping spree.
I love The Blissful…and need to order some bangle bracelets I saw there. I’m originally an Ohio girl…and hope to visit when I go home for the holidays. Can’t wait ’til January when the shop goes online.
Do you think I could get The Blissful gals to bring some of that wonderful stuff over and create my perfect holiday house?! =0 wow!! Blessings… Polly
I would need days and days and days to be able to see everything, touch everything and just enjoy being surrounded by so much beauty!
Wow–I am in love at first sight with that site!! I just sat there touching the screen—couldn’t a person go into major debt there????
Thanks for the 2nd part of the party! This is too much fun. And I’m in my pj’s!!! That’s just another perk to this party!
Am I too late? Love the look of everything!
Okay,Melissa, now that I have read through and seen all the pictures, I’m thinking that there may be a road trip in the future. This is a fabulous shop. I’m taking out the map. Wonderful party. Susan
I am awed, stunned, delerious with delight! What a wonderful, magical perfect Christmas shop! I want to live here.
I live a world away from Canton but would just love to browse through all those treasures.
Oh boy, I could spend some major money there. Wish I were close.
I wish I was closer, too! I was directed here by Back Porch Musings!
Look at all that eye candy!! Wonderful blog here, Pat from Back Porch Musings sent me and I’m so glad she did!
Do you sell things online? Beautiful, just beautiful.
Makes you want to decorate right now! With lots of new things.
beautiful shop, I would love to visit and shop.
