MY BOOTH AT SERENDIPITY MARKET, EDMOND, OK |
To my Blogger friends...however many of you might still be out there~ I'm sitting here thinking...Oh my gosh...not sure I even remember how to do this!!! Yeah...it's been a while now...
Honestly, I don't know where to begin...sitting here typing upon my old familiar keyboard feels a bit awkward. I've been away from it for so very long - too long. I'm struggling to begin... I had to go back and look at my last blog post to even know where I had left off. Life sometimes gets in the way of life if you're not careful.

Oh...I think I already said that~
The past couple of years have been such a learning experience for me. Lots of ups and downs with so much change...allota stuff to muddle through. I've discovered I'm not all that good with change.

Still, the world offers up it's challenges sometimes, right?
I am pressing on.

MORE FROM MY BOOTH AT SERENDIPITY |
Especially so when, right in the middle of a MAJOR project, the main source of your income comes to an end.
Never Again. And I mean it. My guy and I survived the beginning and ending of this massive makeover aka: overhaul. It left us exhausted.
And we are still trying to recover.
Do-It-Yourself shows make it look so easy...and fast.
It's not!
I've haven't posted the final reveal pictures of what is now a beautiful Farmhouse Style Kitchen. But, I will.
This week.
I promise.
I still have my Booth at Serendipity Market, in Edmond, Oklahoma, and it continues to take up a great deal of my time. I finally re-opened my website and it's feels good to dip my toes back into the online business side of my life. Kind of weird as I've been away from it as well~ But, strangely normal, too.
What is it that tugs us away from the things we claim to love? I haven't figured that out yet...but I'm going to.
To all of you, my longtime personal, business and online friends, thank you so much for the notes and emails over the past several months (that ended up stretching into more than a year)... Bless you for helping me...praying for me... and carrying some of burdens.
You know who you are. And you are loved.
I will begin again.
Love to you~

Vikki...how sweet for you to come by after so long. Sometimes we have to let go of things we love...even if for a season...to better focus on what we must do FIRST. That's where I've been. Doing my "I Have Tos" instead of my "I Want Tos". Blessings to you, friend. Rebecca
Hooray!!!! So glad to see you back!
Happy your well and back !
Oh so excited can't wait for kitchen reveal !
I know it is just gorgeous : )
It is a new beginning for you here in blog land. I like your booth with its subtle colors and pretty decor items.
Your booth is Absolutely Beautiful!!!! I can't wait to see your kitchen :)) I have just returned to my blog and my booth after selling my business. I'm looking forward to a simpler life.... If there is such a thing, lol!!!

HI Rebecca! I have quietly been checking your blog for updates and following you on FB, waiting for you to return! I'm a big fan of yours! I too have been busy with the Have-tos and soon I will be getting to be busy with some want-tos. I just recently returned to my blog and booth too. It seems a few others as well! Im looking forward to reading your blog again. Blessings to you ~
Love to you and happy to see you here again:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
You made my day...I've been checking for awhile...glad you are back!
Busy Hands...Happy Heart

Very happy to see this post. I have wondered about you. Your booth looks great and I do look forward to seeing your kitchen makeover!
warmly,

Good Morning Rebecca, It is good to see a post from you. I think of you quite often and wonder how you are doing. I am trying to catch up with friends this morning. My summer is being taken up with a 10 and 11 year old grandsons. I stay with the 11 year old while brother works. The 10 year old joins us off and on. I always like looking at pictures of your vintage items. What can I say. I like old things. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri friend Shirley
So good to see you back! I can't wait to see your finished kitchen! Doesn't it feel good to get back old pieces of our life's sometimes?
Have a blessed day,
Amy Jo
Oh, My Dear!! How I've missed you, and wished you well and happy, and hoped that you were just living every minute in that gorgeous new kitchen!
I've thought of you so often, in my own tiny pink kitchen, as I go about my little dailies, thinking that you were just settling in and arranging every thing Just So, and cooking up a storm, as well as having SO many gatherings in that marvelous new space.
So glad you're well and that you came through all the upsy-daisy and out the other side into the sunshine. My very best wishes and thoughts from the Heartland!!

Dearest Rebecca, So very happy to see you back here! You have surely been missed dear one. I always love your booth-it is so pleasant to just see what you have for sale. I know you must love your kitchen-can you(when you have a chance)share some photos? Praying you are taking time to stop and enjoy the little things.
Hugs,
Noreen
I hadn't logged on to my email for a few days now and so I'm so glad I decided to scroll down to the bottom just to make sure I didn't miss anything because I've been waiting (and longing) for my 'Gather Ye Roses" update! Silly right? that an entry from a Blog/Internet friend should mean so much, but it does! Why? Because the person doing the writing has such a gift... well, has many gifts...all orchestrated from a love of God, love of family and love of life. And blessings and talent is just oozing from every word, picture and the sharing of oneself! No matter how many 'new beginnings' there are in your life Rebecca (and I hope there will be many more even! ) thank you for sharing them with us! Life is just a tad bit more wonderful when someone as creative and inspiring as you, cares enough to put love and thought into everything you do! And it is not easy to bare one's heart and soul into the blogisphere but it is appreciated more than you know! And looking at all your beautiful creations is an added bonus... seems to me, your Serendipity shop should be on St. George's Street in historic St Augustine, or even Worth Ave in Palm Beach! Well anyway Rebecca what can I say...welcome home dear friend!
Well Hello beautiful...lol....sooooo glad your back, you have been missed.... Hope your doing well and your family as well....I don't blog much anymore but I like to check in and see what's going on in blogland! Your shop is full to the brim with beautiful goodies....so glad to hear you and your hubby have survived your kitchen remodel....looking forward to the reveal....welcome back sweetie...
Hugs~

Wow - your porch wreath is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!
hellooooo again ... sooo glad you are back on line with the blogging and on FB too ... seen you there as well ... your stuff looks adorable as always and looking forward to seeing the overhaul photos ... love mouse xxxxx
Dearest Rebecca,
Welcome back! No at times it is not easy to do all that we love...
Time is also a limit and especially when struggling to get things done in and around our home.
Your photos show some lovely work; you're still very artful in creating!!!
Hugs and blessings to a new and happy week.
Mariette
It looks so beautiful!! I know you're happy for that to be over! It's good you're back sharing bits of your life with us.
Blessings
