I started this blog a few months back because my passion has always been home decor! It was a perfect outlet to share pictures and ideas while providing a liitle insight into myself and my family!
Lately it hasn't been very easy for us as after 13 years I am about to lose my job. I'm 56, will be 57 in October. I'm finally realizing that my skills in my current job do not transfer well to another. It appears that presently, in this job market, you need a certificate for just about everything! I've never been unemployable! I've always had a job!
Although technically I'm employed until March 31, 2014, it's been a tremendous strain on me and my family.
I'm allowing this bit of insight to my current affairs, as that's what a blogs all about! It's about sharing. Not only the good times but sometiems it's the bad as well!
When I knew the end was coming I started, or tried to start a business called Dorothy Newcomb's Inspiring Arrangements for Home and Garden, because I thought, well, do what you like to do. Easier said then done, but I'm trying! The concept was simple: let me take what you already have and rearrange it, organize it, in a way that it's new to you and makes you feel like you've had a personal decorator in but with at a fraction of the cost! Also if your struggling wth colors or what to purchase next, I could devise a plan.
Some people thought it was a great idea, others, not so much! Then I started the blog. I've always wanted a blog because I love home decor, and I love my home, which I painstakingly, on a very small budget, try to do all the things I love to it. It's my pride and joy! And I wanted to share it with someone, YOU!
You ,whoever you are, bring me great joy whenever I see that people have visited my page. A blogger's dream I guess!
Well, thank you!
It means the world to me when you visit and I hope that I will always have something worthwhile to share.
I also want to thank those few visiting from Germany! I'm a second generation German, living in Canada, while my mother, who is quite ill, and lives with me still, was born in Nuremburg! It means a great deal to me to know that sharing our German traditions, which we keep alive and well, might resonate with you as well!!
Again, thank you for visiting!
I wish you well and Guten Abend!
