Aqua soup mug with bird perched on handle.
We are finally beginning to feel a little fall here so I thought I would give you a picture of my new cute little soup mug with a bird perched on the handle and share a little of the changes going on. I haven't really talked about this on my blog but I recently took steps to make a few major life changes. Changes which have allowed me to come back to my passion and go for my dream of starting my own full time Interior Design firm. I have come from a long line of entrepreneurs and that entrepreneurial spirit has been occupying a little space in my heart for a long long time. What has held me back up until now? I think sometimes it is fear that holds you back and part of it is the timing of things and the fact that I have never really been a risk taker. So I am pushing away fear, embracing a little risk taking and thinking it is time.
I received a wonderful start as a young design graduate working for Bob and Priscilla Knox of Priba Furniture and Interiors in Greensboro NC. My dear friend Vicki still works there and will take great care of you if you drop by. I then took a slight detour while raising my children and hopefully influenced a few school children to get excited about design, fashion, and food. I now have the opportunity to follow this long time desire to return and focus my whole attention on working as an interior designer. This is all possible thanks to the never ending support and encouragement of my dear husband which I am sure is not a surprise to any of you that regularly read my blog. If you are new to my blog then I will just go ahead an let you know that am am a lucky girl, have a great husband, and it shows up in my blog frequently. We really share this journey called life.
So….as we set on our way with some new beginnings I wanted to let you know. The blog will continue to be just a creative outlet for me and will keep the laid back format as before. Here I will continue to share my love of color, some of the fun creative things I do at home and with friends, my adventures in shopping, things to go out and see and do in our area, creative people, a little travel, and of course the yard and nature with the help of the husband mentioned above. A website is in the works for Living With Color Designs, the business, and it will focus only on that. So I hope you will continue to read my blog and do share it with friends. I hope you will return often to follow me on this journey - Marianne
