Life is Sweet...

Since opening my Etsy shop...

my life has taken quite a turn.

I am feeling successful!

It is  everything I could hope for..

a creative and fun way to follow my dream

and keep my passion for shopping for

antiques alive.

In fact it has completely revitalised me.  I feel like

I did when I first started selling.   Etsy is a wonderful way

to have your own business...I love taking the pictures, editing them,

finding the stuff and most of all coming in contact with a lot of other

buyers and sellers.   What a concept!    This old gal is renewed.

I had sales right away and things just keep rolling along.

I am shocked...amazed and so very grateful.  It just feels

wonderful to be doing something that gets rewarded.  

You may remember a while back that I applied for a “real job” and

to my complete shock, I was hired.   Well....it did not turn out

as I had hoped.  I never got the  hours I was told I was going to

get, certainly not the health insurance and the stress just about

did me in.   Face it, Beatnheart is just not cut out for a straight job!

  While I was waiting for the hours to pick up, I decided to get the 

Etsy shop going.   I had opened it over a year ago but never

had the courage to put anything in it.  So, one day, I just jumped in

and went for it.  I had time to put effort into it

 because I was not working as I had expected. And the whole thing

took off.    I called my boss and told her the job was just not working out

for me and low and behold the weight was lifted off my shoulders,

birds started to sing again and I feel as if I had been directed to do

what I have been meant to do...be who I am.  What a delightful

feeling to know that you are on your proper path...

Thanks so much to all of you who have given me support and

encouragement and most of all to your helpful tips on how to get going...and for now

I am happy and content and love  working in my jammies!  If

I never see a “business casual” outfit again it won’t be too soon.
