my dream has always been to own my own boutique and design services shop. i've visualized it, stylized it, marketed it, even named it...(hint: blog name)  the older i get the more i realize that it's time to take action and move from the "someday i'd like to" to the action phase, or it will always be just a dream.  moving back to new england has really been the catalyst that i needed to jump to the next phase.  it just feels like this is the right place and the right time.  my inner voice has always been a guiding force for decisions i've made- it's hard to explain, harder still to type, but when something just feels right, i just instinctively know it... and this is one of those instinctual moments.  great things certainly don't happen if you're sitting on the sidelines.  I have the opportunity to participate in a group antique market in essex, connecticut as one of their vendors.  i feel it's a great chance to test the waters, try out different styles, get myself organized and see what happens.   it's exciting trying something new, actually putting your dreams into motion.  i encourage everyone to put one of your dreams into the "doing" stage rather than the "dreaming" stage....
