The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like your blog are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/themes/
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Here’s the premium theme support link http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/studioProvided you are logged in under the same username account that registered the blog and purchased the theme you will find a link to enable you to post to that support forum in your dashboard > Appearance > Themes

DO I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD WORDPRESS?
Not as long as you are Hosted on WordPress.COM. The staff takes care of making all the software work for you. No downloading, uploading, FTP the files up, no upgrading the software (the staff does the upgrading for you)
Just keep on blogging

I am having trouble with not being able to see the content I uploaded on a theme site I purchased yesterday from WordPress.

Uploading images is a separate issue from making blog posts. If you don’t make blog posts and put the images in them, the images sit in your private Media Library and only you can see them.
Have you gone through http://learn.wordpress.com yet?

Just to try to help clarify, if http://patriciacousins.wordpress.com/ is your blog, then it is hosted here at WordPress.com and you may not purchase a theme from an outside company and install it on http://patriciacousins.wordpress.com/ but you can purchase any of the themes listed at http://theme.wordpress.com/ — the purchase must be done through that site or from directly in your blog dashboard.
If you purchased a theme from somewhere other than http://theme.wordpress.com/ then you would need to set up a web hosting account and install the WordPress.org software on that web hosting account in order to get access to install a theme that you purchased from somewhere on the internet besides WordPress.com.
Hopefully that explanation helps a little! If you’re still not sure, then I think it would help if you could confirm the link to the blog you’re working on now as well as a link to the exact site where you purchased the Studio theme. If I can see the blog, then I can confirm what type of setup you’re working with and give you a better answer based on that information.
I am having trouble with not being able to see the content I uploaded on a theme site I purchased yesterday from WordPress.
It sounds a bit to me like you may have setup more than one blog on more than one service. Include a link to your site for us and we can help you check it out!

Where can I find the “upload theme” option in my dashboard? I purchased a theme and I am trying to swap my current blog over, but I cannot find the option to upload the theme. Its not under appearance.
