This welcome sign is for my new store, Miss Violet’s House. As if I’m not crazy enough, I have opened an online store. Let me give you a little background. Little by little I have been trying to redo my house. Let me rephrase that. As my children remodel(aka destroy) my house, I have been replacing items with things whose sole purpose is to be COMFORTABLE. At this stage in my life, comfort is priority one! This goes for clothes, shoes, furniture, and life. Nowadays when I see magazines with models in high heels and tight short clothes or houses with rooms that look perfect, my first thought is, “GET REAL”.
I am sure that the perfect rooms in those magazines probably don’t have boys that like to practice their football throws and golf swings in the living room or a dog that can clear the coffee table with one sweep of her tail and whose latest favorite game is “tag” with the cats. As a single mom I want to live life with as little stress as humanly possible while still actually enjoying my family. Some days, the enjoying part, is much harder to come by. Remember, just keep repeating, “I love my children, I love my children…..”
Well, back to the subject of my new store. My goal is to fill my store with items that are comfortable and easy, no batteries required. I want to bring back the days when families had fun at home that did not revolve around the television or when neighbors could drop by for a visit without having to make plans for it in advance. The days when eating dinner in the dining room happened every night, not just on holidays.
I am planning on starting a new page on this blog that will feature items I have in my shop. Stop by MissVioletsHouse.com and my blog page “My Shop” to see the latest. I really hope you like it. Write me a comment and let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you.
Well, I am thankful that my children (2 and 4 legged) let me write this post uninterrupted, but I just heard a crash so I have to go now.
See you soon, Violet
