Excited, again

Excitement about projects comes and goes for me, but I defiantly know when I'm heading in the zone about something. How do I know I'm in the zone over this? I can't think of anything else and I have this surge of energy to keep working on it even until very late.I've finally opened an etsy shop that is dedicated to thrift shop finds.

I've opened the shop and have listed only two items so far. By the end of today I will have listed many more. It's so encouraging to have people on etsy placing my items in their favorite boxes and even cooler that I was placed in a Treasury West: click here to see.

Thank you to ThePeachTree for picking the Emily, Just Emily skirt. This skirt truly is lovely.

I feel like I'm working on some sort of fast motion today as I have a lot to get done this week.

There is so much to share and even more to do:

*Finish designing and printing out wedding invitations: aiming to have these out by Wednesday
* Find someone to play ceremony music preferably a cello, harp or even a violin
* Arrange hair appointments for myself and bridesmaids
* Photograph details on vintage clothing, such as tags
* Finish uploading new items that have been photographed
* create business cards/packaging ideas (use recycled items)
* photograph new sprouts from seedlings
* work on seeds, garden layout/planning, buy new seedling trays (i love the word seedling)
* clean out chicken coop
* work on music play list for the wedding
* inventory wedding decorations and supplies

okay, that's it for today. oh! find phone charger. I have not charged my phone in two weeks.

Coming (very) Soon

I've been spending some time this week putting together a new etsy shop idea solely for vintage, handmade, upcycled clothing and accessories. Yesterday was spent photographing my finds in a creative way. Today, editing. Now, I just need a name for my shop.



This skirt is vintage and the tag reads "emily, just emily" how cute is that?

hello, it's me!

wow, you should read this blog if you don't like reading blogs. har har. I don't know what it is, but I have not felt like blogging here for some time now and I feel ready to share again (I think, we'll see.) So where do you start? Oh man, so much to say.

We've been planning a wedding which is in like 9 weeks (and two days!) from today and that's pretty crazy! I'll be a wife, he'll be "my husband". Those are good things. The shower was this past weekend and it was a good time. If you ever question how much you are loved, have a shower and appreciate those who surround you. Or a birthday party, or something :)

I have a lot of creativity in my life now, so I feel good about blogging again. I have a lot of ideas and there is so much good stuff going on in the world right now amongst the bad. I think its easy to watch the news and listen to NPR and get into the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and helpless if that's what you're seeking. And then you open your eyes to the little pockets of joy that really do exist all the time, all of the creativity and happiness is there if you want to see it.

It's true, I'm not a child or have children, but I will be seeing this one:


sigh.
