Diamond in the Rough and Throwen’ My Heart Out There Part 1

by Heather on August 19, 2011

Just Me

Have you ever wondered what the heck that saying means? I’m wondering right now. I feel like I’m sort of on a diamond search. And not the moola-dough type. (Though that’s always nice!) Actually more of a RECOGNIZING trip really. Like these diamond moments here-

Lake Superiour Bon Fire

A blurry shot of a late night date and my hon kissen’ our baby.

When I started this Post Road Vintage Journey I had a very “a-HAH!” moment. Much like the awesome Marian from Miss Mustard Seed describes.

The thing is… I questioned myself. I was scared. Do I have what it takes? I knew I was creative but I knew nothing about business. + I’m a nerd. One who usually says the wrong thing at the wrong time. Who would I have to be to fit in?

Lake Superior

That thought terrified me! But I decided I would forge ahead anyways.. show up in a big way. Even though I felt (and still do!) so small!

Read what caused me to embrace my nerdiness + dream bigger in part 2. Post Road Vintage Shelves

p.s. What’s your fave color? My FB Gals thought #1. How ’bout you? I’m working on shelves for the shop right now and rolling out the Chalk Paint – oh so fun!

I’ve known you well, since we were little tots. But I too, think you’re refreshing. The nerdy part…well…: ) Can’t wait for part 2. Also enjoyed the link from Miss Mustard Seed.

I think you’re precious! I’ve had your Etsy shop as a favorite since I registered on the site. :) I vote for either #1 or #3 — love that blue… Thanks for keeping it real…
