Why I Started My Blog

February 12, 2014

One of the reasons I started my blog two years ago,yes it was two years ago last month that I started this blog.

Anyway one of  the reasons I started my blog is that I wanted to open an online shop, selling items that I would enjoy in my own home.

Pieces with vintage charm.

As I shared my home and blogged about my design style I wanted to inspire others how to decorate their  home using vintage pieces.

Sharing how to easily change something found at a thrift shop or garage sale.

( These pretty dishes are now available in the shop)

When I was searching to find a company to sell my pieces I was feeling a little intimidated.

I wanted it to look as though it was part of my blog.

And have a custom feel and look to it.

I had heard about Big Cartel after taking an online business course through Jeanne Oliver a few years ago.

But I put it in the back of my mind for awhile.

For a short time just after blogging I opened a shop.

But it was way too soon.

It finally felt right,like this is the time.

I want to continue to share decorating ideas.

And I will keep searching for unique treasures to bring into my shop.

I am hoping to add not only vintage items but some handmade items as well.

Tomorrow I will be adding a few more items so stay tuned….

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
