Wow. So here we are. My first post, your first read. It feels a bit like speed dating. I've got a few minutes to convince you that I'm the blogger of your dreams before we both move on; you to another blogger and me, to Facebook to try and convince more of my friends to follow me.
Inviting friends to follow my blog feels like inviting my friends to a Tupperware party. "Hey, just drop by, you don't have to stay long and you're not obligated to buy anything," I say. They smile nicely, tell me they may drop by for a few minutes between the kids' soccer practice and music lessons. And they're thinking "I really don't want to go, but she read my Pampered Chef blog last week so I'm pretty much obligated."
Seriously, you don't have to buy anything! Just come when you can, learn what you want and above all, have fun. Talk back to me (I can take it, I have teenagers.) Share your ideas. Or if you figure out a better way to do my ideas (highly likely) share them with me and our friends.
I'd also like to feature your upcycling work. Just send me a photo of your work (with you, preferably) and a brief description of who you are and what you do. And you don't even have to buy anything.
serving up hot and tasty vintage goods, DIY inspiration and a seat at the popular kids' table.
Welcome to my own little therapy session. Wait, before you close the window and run screaming back to Facebook, let me explain my form of therapy. Finding old things and making them into something new, something better, something valuable. And finding that I as I do it, I feel new, better and valuable. So join me. We'll laugh, we'll cry and we'll make some really cool stuff together.
