Who am I and why am I here? Or blogger's anonymous.
Okay, it is confession time. I must admit it. I really must face it. I AM ADDICTED TO BLOGS!!!! How did this happen? I was going along just fine in my life without them. In fact I didn't even know what a blog was until about two years ago. Now I can't imagine my life without them. I tell myself " I am getting inspired" or "doing a little research." The truth is I can't wait to get to the computer in the morning to see what my Blogging friends have uncovered. I tell myself I will only read a few because I have a lot of work to do. But one Blog is linked to another and then that one tells me about something else I just have to check out and the next thing I know hours have slipped by and my clients are wondering where there drawings are, and my back won't move because I have been sitting so long. Now I know none of you have this problem. But if you do...... don't you think it's time we start "Bloggers Anonymous?
In looking for someone to blame for my problem I have to say it started with Brooke Giannetti. Her beautiful blog Velvet and Linen was the first I encountered.
I happened to be In Atlanta a few years ago at market. After finishing my work, a friend and I decided to do a little antiquing. I happened to stop by Linda Horsley Antiques. I fell in love with her store and style the moment I walked in. I especially loved the silver platter piled with shells and coral.

I asked Linda if she would mind if I took a few pictures. She was very gracious and said of course, but if I really wanted pictures of the whole store a Blogger named Brooke had spent some time snapping away and was going to publish them on her Blog. Blog?!? What is a Blog? and who is a Blogger? Never heard of it ( I felt like she was speaking in a foreign tongue.) So I wrote the name of the Blog down and promptly looked it up when I got home. HERE is the original Blog I read. My first ever! Well I was hooked and the rest is History.
So why am I here? I figured I have been sitting on the side lines long enough. It is time for me to Join the party. So here I am. This is my Journal about Design and Inspiration and just plain stuff that makes me feel good. Thanks for joining me.
