I don't even know where to start. So much has happened. We've moved, my husband had a job change, our little boy came into our lives. Eli is 20 months and our sweet girl Jolee Raye is already 2 1/2. We fall into bed exhausted every night but we also had no clue how fun (and funny) kids would be.
I'm still feeling my way towards how to best use my talents and make a truly (and highly) successful business out of them. Something I constantly struggle with is the feeling that I'm not living up to my potential. Not fully using the talents God gave me. That the busy-ness of my business is just so much water treading and that I need to break through, branch out, move up....somehow.
To that end, we're going to be branching out and doing more vintage market style shows geared towards younger collectors and buyers who have an eye toward decorating with their finds. This weekend we'll be at Vintage Bazaar in Chicago. We can't wait!
Wow! I had no idea you had a blog, Holly! How fun to see your smiling face. It fits the friendly person who always answers my convos on Etsy.
I hope that you realize you do have a very successful etsy business and raising two young children is an equally important job. But I truly understand the challenge to find time to fill up "your own cup" as a mom and a creative woman. I remember the feeling well when my kids were young. Your antique show sales booth looks amazing and you have such talent for display. I wish you continued success. I think you are headed in the right direction with the "young crowd." (as long as you continue to offer the old timey stuff to the "over 50" crowd on etsy!! : )
