Day 16 of living my dream..For Such a Time as This!


Oh my goodness, dear friends, yesterday was so much fun. The ribbon cutting ceremony was a great encouragement to me. Everyone seemed to love the shop and all I could do was smile. Two of my girls were there also and it was so good to have them with me.
  It is such a  pleasure to share my dream with others and I am proud of what it has become.
I have worked for months to get to this point and I have loved every minute of it.My inspiration has come from the Lord. When I was tired or sad or discouraged He would comfort me and nudge me, sending someone with sweet words and kind thoughts.
  I have a passion for this little shed and I know my parents would have been here all the way, they would have loved seeing what it has become.
So Friday and Saturday we open our doors to the public, share the creations and sparkle. I am excited, I am exhausted but best of all.....MY whole family will be here this weekend. We will be spending the entire two days together laughing and working. We have cousins who will be set up with their wares and their hubby's will be here too. This is what Vyntage Barn is about...family..love..living in the moment because we know how quickly things can change.
Some of you may remember that this summer my daughter and I were in a Bible study on Esther by Beth Moore. Well, it keeps ringing in my soul how Esther was in the place she needed to be "for such a time as this."
  That is how I feel. I am at this point at this time"for such a time as this." This is God giving me a little smile and a time to shine. With a full heart and full house I will open the doors and invite each of you into my little dream. I am blessed beyond measure and I know that it could never have happened without God's hand of favor. Dear Friends, "for such a time as this."
