progress

You may have noticed that I have a new little gadget thingy in my sidebar. Yes? Well, thats because I am now the owner, manager and general dogsbody of a shiny, new shop! Of course, its not like an old fashioned bricks and mortar shop where one walks in and is greeted by the sights and smells of whatever that particular store is selling. Oh, but how I would love one of those varieties - an old building covered in roses, bursting with whole foods and sweet smelling herbs or perhaps crammed with lots of pretty fabrics and a wall of yarn and ribbon……and the fragrance of soap and paper, wool and lavender. Yes, that would be the best of fun!

But no, this one is just a 'presence' amongst the great wide inter-web and some photos on your computer - but to me its still a step forward, moving in a new direction and overcoming some of those fears and self doubts that creep in and make life a little stifled. I've been considering a small Etsy store for a while but have not had the brain power to think straight let alone work at creating goods and shop front. Until now.
I will be creating some different notebooks and journals when I can carve out a bit more time, but for now there are just a few journals made using repurposed book covers and some nice thick, watercolour papers. My girls were admiring them today and casually mentioned that they would love a 'journaly' Christmas gift….. cheeky girls!!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me such lovely comments in my last post - its so nice to hear from you.
