New Year, New Inspiration

Happy New Year Everyone!!

2011 was a special year for me. It was filled with new beginnings in so many ways with inspiration from so many sources. It was mostly about finding my passion again and doing what I love to do.

My Antiques Shop...an era gone by.

After closing my antiques shop several years ago, I continued selling online but, did not launch my website until the end of 2011. It has taken some time but I have found my passion again. 

I have high hopes for 2012! What seems to inspire me and keep me going are the inspirational quotes I see on facebook, pinterest and many other websites. Here are some of my favorites...

The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well.
Henry W. Longfellow

 

 

"'Hope' is the thing with feathers --
That perches in the soul --
And sings the tune without the words --
And never stops -- at all -- . . . " Emily Dickinson

 

 

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be Inspired....and Dare to Dream!
