Hello + Hello!<br />
I'm so excited to stop in here after a more than adventurous trip across the United States to Atlanta, Georgia for a long buying trip to let you know that a special event occured whilst I was away....<br />
<br />
<a href="http://gatheringsmag.com/summer-2014-is-here/">Gatherings Magazine is</a> now available, and ready for your viewing pleasure!<br />
<br />
Some of you may have already had the chance to see the magazine....but while I was off taking care of business....all I could think of was: "Gosh, I wish I had a nice soft lounge chair by the side of a pool right now so I could sit down and enjoy a cool drink and a copy of Gatherings Magazine."<br />
<br />
SO, I encourage you to hop on over to the Gatherings site and check out our Farwell Issue which is jam-packed with inspiration and beauty just for you this Summer!<br />
<br />
Speaking of Summer, I hope yours is going well! Mine has been really great and I can't complain....other than it seems to be going too fast and I feel a little over busy....but hey...time flies when you're having fun right?!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the magazine...and let me know what you think of my Market Report ok?<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello + Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How is everyone? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to stop in here & share a little bit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about what I did this past rainy & dreary weekend...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
>>>>>---------------></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honestly, I'd been craving some sit down crafty time for quite a while now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to take some time out and make up a cheery </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spring banner with some vintage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Contact Paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had these rolls squirreled away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from my thrifting adventures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for quite awhile now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it suddenly seemed like the right time to use them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxV8miA5egLVhIRZLCSB6pyzvxUkqUhjg0qSHTOvb_W2L0D_VqzGXJhxLLhQ_Mstv0f2WgaOxhxlZpeShcvltFKIy_U9QS0KSjZd8e5M7Rr9LKC1ylNKaVzTs8j-oLGEKz3odrvzhHalye/s1600/photo+(12).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxV8miA5egLVhIRZLCSB6pyzvxUkqUhjg0qSHTOvb_W2L0D_VqzGXJhxLLhQ_Mstv0f2WgaOxhxlZpeShcvltFKIy_U9QS0KSjZd8e5M7Rr9LKC1ylNKaVzTs8j-oLGEKz3odrvzhHalye/s1600/photo+(12).JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had so much fun making the banner for myself,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I made a bunch of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DIY Kits and sold them in my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://instagram.com/trishabrinkdesignshop#">Trisha Brink Design Shop</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on Instagram.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were a huge hit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each kit simply contained just the right amount of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
vintage papers & string </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(along with instructions)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make these adorable banners</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which total about 3 yards in length.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't take rocket science to figure out how to make these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finding the right combination of prints and colors is the difficult part;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I simply lucked out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured I'd spread the luck around</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
being it was St. Patty's Day weekend and all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(wink, wink)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div align="center">
Pretty sweet huh?</div>
<div align="center">
I had so much fun making these....</div>
<div align="center">
I may have to come up with other kits soon!</div>
<div align="center">
Just in case anyone is interested in making their own garland...</div>
<div align="center">
I have a few kits left.</div>
<div align="center">
They can be purchased from me for $6.00 each </div>
<div align="center">
with free shipping within the USA!</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
So...</div>
<div align="center">
sometimes you don't need to make huge </div>
<div align="center">
leaps and bounds on a rainy dreary weekend.</div>
<div align="center">
Sometimes you simply need to</div>
<div align="center">
get crafty and create your own sun shiny cheer!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Cheers,</div>

Hello + Hello!</div>

How are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you buried in a foot of snow like me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are you one of those lucky ducks </div>

sunning yourself on vacation by a pool right now?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember when </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laura Ingalls Wilder </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tells the story about getting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Victorian calling cards?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kind you'd leave with a new friend you just met?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Picking out your card was a matter of personal taste...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the card itself would define you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you identify with Laura's thrill of choosing & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
exchanging name cards?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
>>>>>---------------></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems I'm often out and about at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
vintage shows, shops or simply at the grocery store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone will ask me a question about what I do etc...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a conversation begins & suddenly I'm handing out a business card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that we have such pretty business cards at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://grandiflorahomeandgarden.blogspot.com/">Grandiflora Home and Garden</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but sometimes...they are a bit impersonal if </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the situation calls for a personal touch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I am so proud of what I do at </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grandiflora...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is not the sum of who I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always wanted personal calling cards </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for just such occasions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever since being asked to host a giveaway on my blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the folks at <a href="http://www.minted.com/">Minted,</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been pondering on getting some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"calling cards".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you seen how many beautiful designs they have?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted my cards to be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cheerful; a personal light hearted reflection of me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not too much to ask for....right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(wink, wink)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was lucky enough to find the perfect card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part about Minted,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is that they allow you to take a pre-designed concept</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
personalize it to better fit your style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/business-cards/MIN-X00-BSC/21st-century-girl?org=photo">Jess Taich's sweet design called "21st Century Girl"</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the other side I added one of my own photos</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(a vintage flower stuffed mailbox)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
dubbed with a simple saying:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"let's keep in touch"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how they turned out!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cards came in the sweetest little slider box perfect for tucking into my purse!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thrilled with the results I found at </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The whole process from design start,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to home delivery was just over a week!</div>

OK</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I wrote everyone's names on scrap paper...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
crumpled them up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all at once threw them up into the air</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
caught one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ha ha ha ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello + Hello.</div>
<div align="center">
How has it been for you folks today?</div>
<div align="center">
Sincerely, I hope you are well.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
>>>>>>---------------></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
But, honestly?</div>
<div align="center">
Life's been a little bit frustrating for me lately...</div>
<div align="center">
...I find myself doing a lot of heavy sighing</div>
<div align="center">
& </div>
<div align="center">
cranky "grrrr...." -ing.</div>
<div align="center">
I truly don't like to be a downer <em>AT ALL</em>.</div>
<div align="center">
But the reality of things is that some days you just don't</div>
<div align="center">
get to have things the way that you want them to be.</div>
<div align="center">
So,</div>
<div align="center">
rather than be a fakey-fakey</div>
<div align="center">
I'm simply being honest;</div>
<div align="center">
life can be tough.</div>
<div align="center">
Even still....</div>
<div align="center">
when life sends me murky waters,</div>
<div align="center">
shark infested waters,</div>
<div align="center">
swimmers itch,</div>
<div align="center">
red tide,</div>
<div align="center">
rapids,</div>
<div align="center">
stinging jelly fish</div>
<div align="center">
or worse...</div>
<div align="center">
PROBLEMS!!!</div>
<div align="center">
<em>Welllll....</em></div>
<div align="center">
I choose to </div>
<div align="center">
<strong>JUST KEEP SWIMMING</strong>.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
>>>>>---------------></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Want to know why?</div>
<div align="center">
Even though my son is battling a lot of medical issues right now, even though I am more than a</div>
<div align="center">
little bit frustrated with some things at work...</div>
<div align="center">
it is magical to know I can keep my head above water</div>
<div align="center">
&</div>
<div align="center">
<strong>SWIM</strong></div>
<div align="center">
because Christ gives me strength to do so.</div>

<div align="center">
So,</div>
<div align="center">
if you are experiencing frustrating</div>
<div align="center">
shark infested murky waters right now in your life...</div>
<div align="center">
give Jesus a chance</div>

Hello + Hello...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just stopping in to share a profound quote I read tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">(via Apples of Gold, compiled by Jo Petty)</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">>>>>>----------------></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It inspired me to whip up this sign</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
think a bit more on it......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know which source I turn to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I'm questioning who/what I am supposed to be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Bible;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Proverbs 31.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Try it, I think you'll like it.</div>

Hello + Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How are you my friends? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've not had the chance to share a space in my home for awhile, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought you might enjoy seeing a whole other side of the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
decorative person I am now.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of you remember the photo I had shared with you a few years ago </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of my living room wall:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over a year ago, I decided to shift things around a bit in the room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by moving many of the multi colored items that once occupied the space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some items found homes in other areas of our house,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and frankly some of them found new homes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
via <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OllieBollen?ref=si_shop">Etsy</a> & <a href="http://instagram.com/trishabrinkdesignshop">My Instagram Shop</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
>>>>>----------------></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was longing for a simpler style...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a less "occupied space".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I painted the walls a refreshing cream and pale powdery blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Geometric triangular effects on the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
television wall are meant to resemble</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sound waves;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the rest of the room is divided top and bottom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cream and blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN95r-yVdveE4oXj3LSZpXNXS1ovz_I16teiCTGs9kvKg02pMIiPIHGmd8wZIwr2j58zyhpjZH50MHgLdpjO1OschAF8lkmgaaopwukpBPJjnCBDDE47jwM2Dd6RvM9K153SDbKZ-q5S8Y/s1600/IMG_2651.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN95r-yVdveE4oXj3LSZpXNXS1ovz_I16teiCTGs9kvKg02pMIiPIHGmd8wZIwr2j58zyhpjZH50MHgLdpjO1OschAF8lkmgaaopwukpBPJjnCBDDE47jwM2Dd6RvM9K153SDbKZ-q5S8Y/s1600/IMG_2651.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It worked its magic on me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so happy now to have a less </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"busy" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
space to come home to each night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had a nice little walk through the garden</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this morning in the first snow we've had all year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gosh is was so pretty!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olive becomes young again when it snows...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
come to think of it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so do I.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While the boys worked at building </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Frosty...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(more on that another day)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olive and I had a good time admiring little spots in the yard </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that happened to catch our eyes....</div>
