I didn't know any of you.
(now I have hundreds of awesome friends)
I didn't have a blog.
(now you can't shut me up)
I'd never used a camera other than a disposable.
(now I absolutely love shooting and editing my own photos)
I didn't have a booth in an antique mall.
(now I have a booth at Sunrise Antique Mall in Kerrville, Texas)
I didn't have an Etsy shop. (I didn't even know what Etsy was.
Now I have joined the ranks of online sellers with my very own shop)
I had never heard of, nor been to Warrenton, for Antiques Week.
(now I'm scheduled to be there with my friend Effie in the Spring, helping her sell in her space)
What a difference a year makes!!!
It hasn't all been sunshine and roses, but it's been pretty darn good!
Looking forward to sharing my misadventures with all of you in the coming year...and wishing all of you the very best!

It isn't always sunshine and roses but isn't it nice to know that others care about the clouds and the thorns:) I have loved getting to know you and although I am not at a year yet, I am so thankful for all of you! Happy New Year Dear ANNE! Hugs from Georgia!
Anne, It really is an amazing thing! I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy all the wonderful blog friends. I am "doublely" lucky 'cause I got to meet you in person!
Another year in our lives is coming up and I know it will bring more fun and quirky adventures. More sunshine less clouds but just enough to keep us appreciative!
Lots of smiles, giggles and more,
alice
Well... I'm glad for this past year 'cause I found you!!! AND! I just think you should know... tiny little grey-haired people went to your booth and then called me to tell me I had better go visit you QUICK!!!

Much Love and Happy New Year wishes coming your way!!!

You are so right my dear.....what a difference a year can make. I opened my first booth in February this year, and it's the first time in my life that I feel completely happy and content with what I'm doing. I started my blog in July of this year and I cannot believe what I have been missing. Each endeavor took quite a lot of nerve, but I did it and I have never looked back.
Thanks for bringing your wonderful blog to me and I'm looking forward to the new year.
Happy New Year!
It certainly has been a year of growth for you and a sure cause for celebration! Wanted to wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year! Judi
