My life hasn't always been the way I pictured it. But you learn to adapt to the way things are. You grow from your experinces and learn from the people that are willing to teach you. It's interesting how something that started out being a way to help my grandmother get rid of 28 years of hoarding has turned into such a passion for me. I feel this need, this drive to make this venture work. Not only for me but for her. I have spent years looking for something that would fill the void I was missing in my life. I have come from nothing and though I am not famous or rich by any means I have learned to be comfortable in my own skin. I have learned that fashion is what gets my mind going. It's not really about who designed it for me but the way it is designed to make you feel. I came into this myspace realm to do what every other person that comes on here does- to show the world what I have to offer. Most of the pieces on my site was stuff that she (my grandmother)took many hours to preserve and sale until she couldn't. She is the one that picked out every piece many moons ago, so it's her taste that is my selection. And she has the best taste of anyone I know. I have been doing vintage since 2004. The hardest part is getting my grandmother to part with it. But the my main goal for doing this isn't just to sell her stuff to make money but to allow my grandmother to live a comfortable life in her last few years without worry. Everything I make goes to support her and keep her from being in the nursing home. See she had a stroke in 2004 at age 83, which took some of her memory. She has forgotten that she raised me until I was 9, but I have not. So everything I do is for her. There aren't enough words to tell her thank you for everything she did for me, the love she showed me, for the support and for so much more. This is only a small way for me to protect her and thank her. And soon it will be my turn to take care of her when she can't take care of herself. And I am more then happy to do it. For now I am content with just about everything in my life. How could ask for more then that??
