Oh my! It seems sooo long since my last post. Lot's of changes going on for me. For one, have you noticed my new blog face lift? The lovely Karen Valentine over at Valentine Designs has created a lovely new header (from pics I sent) and also adorable sidebar tags. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she is a doll to work with! If you want to add a little pizazz to your blog, contact her. You'll be glad you did.
Other changes for me ~ After much prayer and thought, I gave my notice at my secretarial job. I've decided to follow my passions and dreams and try to make more of a go of my love for buying & selling home decor/accessories. I have rented space in a local shop, and this will give me more time to put into that...treasure hunting, creating, restoring, etc. I also hope to open an Etsy shop in the near future. I'm excited to begin this new venture in my life and this will also allow a little more freedom and simplicity in my schedule. I've heard it said “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I know full well that God gives us our passions and dreams for a reason, and I LOVE being a dealer, so I feel as though I'm stepping into this new season of my life with His blessing.
I may also pick up a few hours a week at a local retail shop, just to help with a little extra jingle in my pocket, but it will be very part time.
So here goes.... !!! I'd love to hear your thoughts & comments and will eagerly read them.
Blessings and Hugs to each one of you!

Hi Karen! Thanks for the shout out! Congratulations on taking a chance and following your bliss. I was forced to take that plunge and I have never looked back. If we believe in ourselves and our talents... anything is possible. I'm so happy for you!
