Im married to my best friend who I deeply love and we have a beautiful baby boy that I also love deeply. I love arts,crafts, and photography. I could not imagine a world without any of it.

I started selling vintage stuff on here and it was joyful when I started it but I started feeling like I wasnt doing what I really should be doing and thats putting my artistic ability's to use. I love to paint so I decided to start getting into making Shabby Chic decor. After I only started painting and distressing a few items I immediately felt like I was finally doing what I really needed to do. I also like the fact that I can still work with vintage items and give them new life. Im finding it enjoyable to be able to take these items from the past and make them useful again as I think we would all like to go back to the past sometimes and redo some things over but life does not work that way. Making Shabby Chic has giving me the opportunity to take something from the past and make it new again. It really is a wonderful feeling taking something old and making it new kind of like having my own time machine.
