    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.
