Dreamin of Spoons & 'Spoonin'

{fly free bird}

Evenin, My Sweetest of Hearts.

I would LOVE to introduce you to my newest & latest business & passion...

'SPOONIN'!

Now actually, it's not JUST any old spoons I'm in love with,

it's Vintage Silverplated Spoons & Flatwear with ornate handles

that Sing to my Soul!

So, where & when did this passion take hold of me you may ask?

It happened in March before I went on my 'Crazy in Texas Tour' with all my bloggie buddies. I knew there was going to be about 8 of us & I knew that I wanted to make something special to give to everyone to wear while we were out shoppin the fields, but WHAT?

{just hip stuff, live life with love}

That's when my muse settled in on makin something with SPOONS.

So, off I went junkin for some vintage flatwear,

bought myself some metal stamps & an anvil

& started a HAMMERING!!  ;)

{wild at heart}

My design was simple to start with, a pounded flat spoon that said,

'Crazy in Texas' 2011 with a little amethyst bead.

The gals loved them, I loved mine & as serendipity would have it,

{and y'all know how often she's worked her magic in my life lately}

while I was sitting under the lunch tent at Zapp Hall drinkin some sweet tea,

I got my 1st custom order from Kelley of Just Hip Stuff.

{definition of junk, cheap worthless unwanted trashy}

She wanted her company name on the front spoon & the words,

Live Life With Love

on a small butter knife in the back, it turned out lovely!!

{fly like a free bird}

That one order gave me the confidence to BELIEVE that maybe, just maybe, I could make a little business out of this Vintage Spoon Jewelry Design & thus was born 'SPOONIN'!

I'm getting my new & improved etsy shop stocked,

I created a new Facebook Fan Page,

I designed a 'SPOONIN' Facebook Website,

I've been working on designing a .com

& I've been DREAMING BIG!!

You know Sweet Hearts, I was thinking...

don't you think it's time for us to spread our wings & FLY?

I'm ready to say 'YES' to everything that comes my way,

I'm ready to pack my fears in a vintage suitcase & slide it under the bed,

I'm ready to Live Large, Dream Big, Work Hard & wait.

To wait & see what amazing possibilities might lie just over there,

a little out of sight, off in the distance, waiting on the horizon for me.

Come on...Let's Fly!

XOXO
