Introduction of Sorts and Somwhere in the Middle

I decided to create a blog journal of sorts, where I could keep track of my journey as an artist.  I wanted a diary that I could record my treasure hunting and make-overs of furniture, arts, crafts and everything in between.  I want simple, I want funny, I want to show the hard work and I want to share the places and people in this journey.  It was next to impossible to define my style in a couple of words.  I've always loved and am drawn to old things and buildings.  I love colour, texture, age, patina, faded, chippy unusual stuff.  I'm very happy prowling around barns, antique shops, flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores .... it never feels like work.  The work starts when I drag a 100-year old shutter home full of paint, cobwebs, dust, dirt.  

Life is a bit of a caravan with frequent moves and relocations because of work and family.  Like a gypsy caravan I've had frequent moves with a menagerie of pets, children and stuff - lots of stuff.  I'm constantly dreaming of having a little farmhouse and a barn.  I love open spaces and a slower lifestyle.  I love living in jeans, tshirts and paint LOL.  Great ideas keep me up most nights.  Turning off the creativity is next to impossible.  I'm hardwired to look at a broken table and come up with a dozen great ideas for it.  Possibly my right-side of my head is actually larger ... hhaaa. 

Rhyme, reason and order are not in the cards.  Probably why one of my favourite childhood tales then and now is Alice in Wonderland.  "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense ..." (smile).

Favourite quote "all who wonder are not lost"  - I'm going to just pick a spot and start sharing my quirky, boho ideas and adventures with you.

First big adventure is coming up for me.  This October I decided to charter some unknown trails and blaze ahead where I haven't gone.  What on earth am I thinking the Lone Wolf has collaberated with her two friends and mentors.  I admire ladies who go ahead and pursue what they love.  Even better when it's the same stuff as me ... right.  This coming October 27th (last Saturday) us ladies otherwise known as the Da Vintage Divas from our fans and friends decided we would have a sale (FALL EVENT) where we would set up all our stuff together and make beautiful rooms and vignettes with our different spin and upcycled vintage furniture, smalls, accessories, artwork and crafts.  I've been burning the midnight oil and loving every minute of it. 

Here is a picture of our first poster:
