Journey into 2017

With great anticipation, and a few (alot of) nervous jitters, I look forward to this new year and all the changes it will bring with it.  There are sooooooo many things on my bucket list for 2017 that  it can seem a little overwhelming, but I remind myself that is where growth begins....just outside our comfort zone. I love the poetry written by Victoria Erickson and this one speaks right to my heart...

I've been reviewing 2016, looking at what worked, what didn't. and charting a course for 2017.  We held several barn sales, some were very successful and some less so, and I've learned alot!  Growth is such a convoluted process and the decisions and plans you make as a business owner are both scary and exciting!  I designed and built several pieces of furniture which was new for me and I LOVE IT!  I plan to design more and imitate less in 2017, trusting that I will uncover a more authentic line that is specific to Farmgirl Outfitters.  We'll have more art classes here at the Magic Shack since those have been such a huge success!  Oh the plans I have....I simply cannot outline them all in just one post so I hope you will follow my blog this week as I begin to paint the picture for you of all that is to come.  I'm talking about our milk paint line that is in development, 2 incredibly exciting remodeling projects that we will be sharing with you here on the blog, upcoming barn sale dates TBA, my soon to be open Etsy shop with an all new line of jewelry designed and created by yours truly, we're working on a lot of really amazing photo props/rentals for events and photographers and will be creating photo vignettes for photographers to hold mini-sessions here on the farm. Oh the list goes on and on.  Lord, give me wings....
