I also don't think there's anything wrong with short-lived passions, especially if we let them go before all the love and passion is sucked out and leaves us with resentment. As a somewhat stay-at-home mom trying to make something else work, I get that feeling of needing something else, something outside the home. And it's not always for others, but just for ourselves. My new thing is just picking up as yours is closing, but I was where you are recently and it felt so good to admit it and move on.Fia Kilbournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143605881204297179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-91587129195559953782011-04-12T21:10:19.284-07:002011-04-12T21:10:19.284-07:00This is an amazing post.

Good for you for paying attention to what makes you happy and fulfilled and what doesn't, and for being brave enough to follow those urges. (Though I hope you'll keep posting your amazing outfits on occasion, inspiring all the rest of us!) I completely understand the difficulty of keeping your passion for hobbies once they become about making money...suddenly it's something you HAVE to do rather than something you CHOOSE to do. I think that's one of the reasons I never got very far with setting up an Etsy shop. So much work to document, photograph, and list things...<br /><br />Would love to see if there's any easy way for you to sell these amazing things not in bulk, as I'm sure many of us would be thrilled to own a couple of these beautiful, beautiful items. (I keep scrolling through the pictures and LOVING everything I see!) I'll keep my eyes out for if there's any good/fast way to do this..you could even just do a few blog posts with, say, a picture of all the belts and then a list of the items with prices...have people pay you via Paypal. I know I've seen blog shops that do this. (probably not as easy to handle the money that way, but wouldn't have to list everything individually...)Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105455066730947081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-20745810315247189032011-04-12T10:50:26.917-07:002011-04-12T10:50:26.917-07:00My husband and I have been talking about me quitti...My husband and I have been talking about me quitting my job and staying home with our two girls. On one hand I'm really excited to hang out with them, on the other I feel like I'm losing this whole identity that comes with my job. Even though I'm not fulfilled by my work in the least.<br /><br />Good luck with everything. I hope you continue to blog as well.

A fashion blogger is one of the developers and a few other bloggers started using it as a way to 'tag' the items in their outfit shots. Dylana Suarez from Color Me Nana used it when it was first launched. I looked as far Feb for those posts but they must have been older.

I know I would love to keep a gem (or a treasure chest) of those things found in the picstures above!<br /><br />I will miss you dearly and I hope *wish on a shooting star* this departure means only that there will be no thrifting but will include the occasional photo of an amazing wardrobe selection for the day!<br /><br />ALL MY LOVE!<br />pattyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-38716937351775286612011-04-12T09:43:40.107-07:002011-04-12T09:43:40.107-07:00With that said, let's take on the next skin! T...With that said, let's take on the next skin! Two questions, does this mean the end of SS? I would looove to see how you dress yourself every day as it seems to be autonomous from the vintage selling and thrifting. You inspire me once again as I seek out outfits at discount stores and thrift stores nearby so that I can emulate some amaaazing ensemble that you put together. You are the fantabulous fashion secret that I keep to myself and share with myself when someone asks where I got the idea to put together such a great combination of patterns or outfit choices. Wow.. I ramble. <br /><br />Finally... if it is the last thing I do, I will find something that you can utilize to easily get all your pieces on and purchased. Even if it means helping you put them all up on a website or creating a FB event/ page/ identity just for this. I live far away from you but can maybe help in some way.
