Believe

I pose a question to each of you...

Do you only post when you have something

happy or upbeat or edifying to share...

or do you open up your heart and

let what's really brewing underneath the surface out

for the world to see?

My dilemma.

 

I've been frustrated quite a bit lately,
and came this close to deleting my entire blog this afternoon.

Just hitting one simple button
and erasing any and all evidence that this blog ever existed.

Having a bit of a tantrum, I was!

Frustrated with myself, and many of the unrealistic expectations
I have placed on myself.

Do you ever feel like.....

your opportunities and ambitions exceed your talents and abilities?

*raising hand*

I am right there, right now.

Trying to decide if I need to seize certain opportunities,
or wait until *I* feel that I am better prepared.

So very tired.

With rest comes clarity of mind, this much I know.

Forgive me for being absent this week and next, t
he moving and work responsibilities continue.

I almost always get back to each of you,
but it's just impossible right now, I am so sorry.

Just know that I read and appreciate every comment.

I leave you with one thought and a wish...

Believe in yourselves.

{struggling to work on that one myself}

Inspiring

My friend Debra at Common Ground

hosts a wonderful weekly party,

Vintage Inspiration Friday....

I didn't think I'd be participating this week,
what with packing and moving, as well
as working 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow at ye olde coal mine.

But it hit me on the drive home tonight
just what inspires me the most these days...

all of YOU.

You lift me up

You make me laugh

You pray with me and for me

You challenge me

You truly do help me to be a better person.

That's all.

I just thought y'all should know that.

Christmas Whispers

Around the brand new Twig homestead,
a few soft little whispers of  
Christmas
are starting to make themselves known...

Nothing grand, or dramatic

Just little peeks

of the blessed season to come.

Back to packing boxes, have a beautiful Wednesday!

Glorious Garden Antqs Vintage

So here's the deal...

A more organized blogger, like say, Tracey,
would have gotten all her show photos posted

boom, boom, boom....on to the next subject.

But not me, nosirreee.

I am disorganization personified these days,
which explains why I'm still posting my Accumulations

show photos that I snapped over two weeks ago.

Sorry, peeps.

But I promise that these are worth the wait!

They are of my good friend Theresa Cano
of Garden Antqs Vintage's space, and she not only fulfilled

but exceeded every expectation.
Theresa is featuring the wonderful creations of Brenda Harding of

Penn River Designs these days,
so pay special attention to Brenda's lovely pillows, 

lampshades and altered birdcages.

You've waited long enough,
so I'll zip it and let the pictures do the talking...

  

Hey, pretty girl!

Yep, you !

Well done, my talented friend!

Lots more packing and moving this week,
so I hope this post holds ya for a few days!

Have a great week!

Welcome To My Week...

not my house

still not my house

but you get the drift.

***my house***

see ya on the other side!
