The Latest Blogiversary Addition: A "Travel" Page!

Many thanks to those of you who participated in our blogiversary survey!  We take all of your feedback to heart and will work hard to try to integrate it as much as possible to help make your reading experience here as pleasant as we can.  :-)  Don't forget to join us on Facebook by clicking the button to the right.  There you'll find frequent in-progress project updates (right now, we're working on a shortgown!), extra fashion- and history-related resources and links, and immediate notification when new posts arrive.  And we still have a couple more special blogiversary surprises in store - and you'll learn about those there as well!

Today, we'd like to introduce the next in our series of blogiversary additions to the site: a "Travels" page to help organize the numerous profiles of historic sites and museums that we've visited over the years.  Here you will find easy access to a collection of reviews of both familiar and little-known places of historical and fashion-related interest, and we hope you'll find inspiration for some of your own future journeys there!  Multiple new site visits will be added to the page soon, so keep checking back!

Frolicks on Facebook!

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has already submitted answers and comments to our last post.  It is wonderful to hear from all of you and we are excited to take all of your interests into consideration for future posts and blog design.  The polls are still open, so please feel free to continue sharing your thoughts with us.

The main purpose of this post, however, is to announce that A Fashionable Frolick is now on Facebook!  We have created a page (http://www.facebook.com/FashionableFrolick) to complement the blog.  We will be using it primarily to give quick updates on new projects and ideas, and to share interesting news and stories before we have the time to write out a more lengthy post on the blog.  We hope that you will all join us on the page and that it will provide more opportunities for us to all communicate and share our thoughts and ideas together.  See you there!

Celebrating Three Years of Fashionable Frolicks!

Hip hip HUZZAH!  We're celebrating our third blogiversary!

Thank you to all our readers and Fellow Frolickers for encouraging us on our journey over the past three years.  We've so enjoyed getting to know you and always appreciate your company, comments, and feedback!  :-)

Over the next three weeks, we'll be marking three years of "A Fashionable Frolick" with numerous new features and a few additional surprises.  Today's special blogiversary update is a "Portfolio" page that profiles most of our historical sewing projects to date.  Each picture links directly to the project's individual "Threaded Bliss" post for further details and additional photos.  With an ever-growing list of completed items, we thought it was finally time to get around to organizing them in some kind of coherent way!

In addition to more significant updates and surprises, we will continue to post as usual during our three-week blogiversary celebration, so keep checking in to see what's new!
