Several months ago, I had a very
serious health scare.
Or, as I call it –
God’s Wake-up Call.
I answered on the first ring!
I put my real estate company up for sale,
and made the decision to pursue
a “job” that makes me happy,
fulfills my creative spirit…and hopefully
will be less stressful and physically
harmful to my well-being.
I decided to become a full-time Blogger.
In the next few weeks, I will start that
transition as I prepare to close the doors
to my real estate company.
(and just in time for another serious health scare, I might add) 🙁
The other major endeavor I put in
place was to open an
Online Retail Store.
My super-duper, ultra-patient and
talented website designer has been feverishly
working behind the scenes to get me up and
running. My thanks goes out to Shari
Because, I am beyond thrilled to say that I am –
Open for Business!
I will be adding more and more items as
we go along. I am really looking
forward to adding some of my
vintage Euro treasures!
To celebrate my opening, I am
giving away this cute
Metal Bucket with Burlap Tag.
You have four ways to win.
Just come back here and post each time
you do one of the following:
1) Follow by Google Friends Connect,
or sign-up for my RSS Feed.
2) Like The Everyday Home Facebook Page.
3) Post about this on your own blog.
(Both the opening of the shop, as well
as, the giveaway)
4) Add the “…details!” logo to
your sidebar.
Winner of the metal bucket will be
announced this Friday!
This could be YOURS!
I am also offering TWO lucky winners
a 25% off coupon towards a future purchase.
I look forward to offering you a wonderful
selection of uniquely vintage Farmhouse,
French and English treasures as well as
one-of-a-kind Euro finds.
The shop is now OPEN…. please come on in.
xxoo

All the best for all your future endeavors.

Barbara, I got that call last year. Glad to know that you made it through and are doing something wonderful with the extra time you were given. I wish you well in this endeavor !
I have become a follower. Found you through Marty’s blog — Stroll Thru Life.
Do you have to be a blogger to enter your giveaway ? I only have an occasional blog that I use only when we go on vacation to let everyone at home know where we are. I’m sorry that it’s not the type to interact with yours.
