Let your dreams breathe and have wings in 2014

Happy New Year this Year my hopes and wishes for all of you is that what ever you have been dreaming to do.... you know that thing that has been in your heart...maybe for moments...maybe for years....maybe for a lifetime... but everyone of us knows exactly what it is... this is the year that YOU will allow your DREAM to become a REALITY give it BREATH  and WINGS and let it FLY!

please feel free to share some of your dreams in the comment section, sometimes just saying them out loud is the first step to setting them FREE... 

Farmhouse Industrial AKA the Yellow Farmhouse has been MIA

I love this time of year!! The weather is getting cooler, not really where I live, but I pretend.  Styles are changing in clothes, and in your home decor, you get to take out your Harvest decorations!!  Pumpkin candles, and start making your Thanksgiving plans.  But... the reason I am sort of missing in action from making stuff and posting stuff on here and at Yellow Farmhouse is my most favorite thing about this time of year... FOOTBALL!!  NOT JUST ANY FOOTBALL THOUGH... HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL... BASHA BEARS JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM...  My son Luke is a sophomore and he plays defensive end and something on the offense... but this isn't my first rodeo he has been playing tackle football since 2nd grade... yes tackle ... we realized at his first tee-ball game when he was 3 years old that when he hit the ball and decided to tackle the child with the baseball that maybe football was his sport...  I am that mom that knows what is going on I know if your a defensive end I scream "COME ON JONESY!! I WANNA SEE YOU SACK THAT QUARTER BACK !" &  since he is starting on offense too I know exactly what to LOOK FOR  & scream there too 'YOU BETTER FIRE OFF O-LINE & GET YOUR BLOCKS!" My favorite part is watching them enjoy themselves coming together as a team.  One thing I have to point out is that Luke has always fought hard for his positions on every team he has played on.  And we have had years when he thought his position wasn't what he wanted, or important.  It's important as parents to instill in your children at young age the importance of them, (of who they are we love you just because you are our children period!) not what they do first.  Secondly we showed Luke, if he didn't do his job, the team would loose, every position plays a part.  Over the years, he still walks it out, just like we all do with different areas of our lives.  This year my husband gave him this advice, start thanking God that He has given you a place to play and, do your best with a grateful heart, and see what He does.  God always come through for us, if we position our selves in the right place, with the right heart. Luke tweeted before his first game Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."I didn't even tell you that Luke was playing with an ulcer on his left cornea so he couldn't really see he was in pain, and only had one contact in.. but needless to say he played almost the entire game offense and defense, and some special teams. THE BEARS CAME OUT WITH A 'W' FOR THEIR FIRST JV GAME {35-28} So if you miss me you can find me yelling "YOU BETTA HIT SOMEBODY!" to JONESY #55 at the Basha Bears Junior Varsity games Thursday nights.

New Day New Shop... choices choices....

I love to shop.... that is one of my passion, and I really don't think shopping describes what I do... I love to hunt for treasure... to find that thing that is so cool, or different, or old... that maybe so many people disregarded... but now it's mine!!!  Problem is my home is full of this stuff, because, I want to share my industrial vintage treasures...  I sell on Facebook, I started an Etsy store ( no sales yet), I sell on Ebay made two or three sales there.. craigslist...

What I appreciated most from my last post on my Etsy Shop opening, I think it was that one...  Is the input from you girls out there who SELL...and the other day Mr. Farmhouse comes home with a New Store:)  Yes I know there will be more of these stores, everyday someone is coming up with new store online.

Introducing Square Market....  https://squareup.com/market Yes another new store...  I know... I sound schizophrenic... maybe but have you ever kept trying things, and they just don't feel right?  And then something comes along, and the fit is perfect.  Well that is how I feel about SQUARE MARKET!!
So far so good, I love the easy navigating, how easy it is to post items, and how professional Square Market, makes your shop look... Easy to use and Easy on the eyes... Can't beat that combination...maybe it's my decorators, ADD...but if something doesn't catch my attention QUICK & EASY.... Well you get the picture...

Open up an Etsy Shop

I am trying to figure out how to get my inventory that is in my house out of my house???  Have any suggestions.. I would love your input... I have opened up an Etsy shop

http://www.etsy.com/shop/FarmhouseIndustrial

(this is the link to my Etsy Shop)

I have thought about trying to set up in a couple of local stores around where I live, the two that I am most interested in of course have waiting list...  then the other day on my Facebook business site 

https://www.facebook.com/FarmhouseIndustrialShabbyChic

(facebook business link)

I was approached by a store that is opening up but they are not close to my home, it sounds so exciting and I really want to get my stuff in a store... but I am just torn... thinking about my tendencies.. I don't like to travel as it is... do you think you would set up in a store that was really far from your home, like over an hour or more drive???  

And then I also have an opportunity to set up in a local shop and sell my stuff a little bit at a time.  The number one thing, is I need to get some of this inventory out of my home.  PLEASE ALL OF YOU OUT THERE IN BLOGGER WORLD... AND SUCCESSFUL SELLERS... LET ME KNOW YOUR TIPS AND TRICKS AND HOW YOU GET YOUR STUFF SOLD....
