I talk an awful lot about creating the life we want to life. With that said, I have been busy diving head first into some new ventures. As you know, I've recently become a Stella + Dot Independent Stylist. In case you missed it, I am hosting a giveaway for a Lindsay Bangle, (mine is shown above in pink). The winner gets to choose her color. (DIY Kate Spade Cloverdale tutorial here).
I've also been busy getting my print shop up and running. The shop will offer giclee prints of my photography and will be featuring prints of Paris, Nantucket, California + even my hometown of Groton, MA. Below is a sneak peek of a few of my Nantucket prints.

There is nothing like a new venture to take the dull out of everyday and add a little excitement to our life. Possibilities bring hope, and a life without hope is no life at all!
When was the last time your ventured into something new? What was it?
I couldn't agree more with you, new ventures bring a vitality to life.
ReplyDeleteI recently participated in my first fitness competition( not a venture , more an experience) a full hour and a half of Cardio with weights. It was awesome, I'm so glad I did it. I'm curious about what camera you use? Your images are incredible. I am thinking seriously about getting one Debbie.

I agree...new ventures have fueled me in my first year of the empty nest!! It can be exhilarating. I love all of your prints so much...would you consider selling a box of cards with all of them included? These would be great for thank you notes or just a personal note to a friend. Thanks for the ideas today...I am going to do the papaya mask for sure!!
ReplyDeleteHOW EXCITING DEBBY!!!!!! Love that you are following your heart and staying with what you love and turning it into something, you go girl! I cant' wait to hear all about it.....well on March 10th opened up my online shop! That was my biggest venture lately...and its been loads of fun, crazy, super busy a learning experience and deeply gratifying. How will we know if we don't try! Love it....best of luck, the sneak peek looks awfully beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE A NEW ADVENTURE. It looks as if you and me both are headed in the RIGHT direction my dear. Once school is out in 10 days, I am creating a new website and I am going to redesign my offerings in Etsy and do what I have been thinking of doing for a long time.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO TO YOU! YOU ARE BRAVE and will do it!!! Anita
I'm sort of lucky that the adventures just sort of show up on my doorstep....I have a fabulous one going on right now but can't talk about it until this winter...:( Congratulations on getting your shop up and running you must be so excited. I wish you all the luck in the world but from looking at your photography you don't need luck.

You sure are inventing yourself, good luck with everything Debby.
ReplyDeleteLet's see, when was the last time I ventured into something new ... does moving to Luxembourg after just a few weeks of thinking about it count? ;-)
teeeheee...I THINK that mirror is from your page! I believe I put the correct VIA link! HAPPY DAY GORGEOUS! Sheesh, you are so beautiful! Anita
ReplyDeleteWhen am I not venturing into new things?? Ha!

How did I not know this? Must have been announced on one of my many blog breaks.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you!!
I started my Etsy jewelry shop 2 years ago and the Etsy home shop last year. Probably time to start something else as well :)
Wishing you just the very best of luck dear friend!!
Oh how utterly beautiful, i would love to live somewhere like that.
ReplyDeleteI rarely try anything new.
Forever chasing dreams, I've launched a couple dreams into the world. My first venture was a shop called Windy Corner herbs & flowers. Flowers and herbs continue to be a passion of mine. My next venture was getting into the world of writing after a life time of dreaming about it. My next venture will be all about combining writing and my new passion, photography. Now to come up with a way to incorporate flowers and herbs into the scheme and I believe I'd have the perfect venture.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog changes. Good luck with you latest venture into the world of printing. Your photos of Nantucket *sigh* are stunning!
I love the colors in the "In Bloom" print! Gorgeous! Best wishes on your new venture, Debby!!

As you know - figuring out and creating a new me and life that actually fit together has been focus during the past couple years. This year I am jumping in with committing to host an afternoon tea fundraiser for the trauma centre that saved my life... we go to book the venue soon .. so no turning back ( I'm scared to death...)!!
ReplyDeleteI had some made up and sent to friends and family, and they are trying to get me to do them as a hobby to sell. I'm considering doing cards with photos taken of teas, flowers and various places throughout our trips. Hubby is working on a calendar and I may join him in that.
It is scary trying something different ... But there is growth in change. And you my friend are a wonderful inspiration to grabbing on to life and moving forward!! One day we will have a tea and chat on end... xo Hugs, HHL
Oh Nantucket...that's on the travel list one day.
ReplyDeleteI love Stella and Dot - that's awesome you got into it. I just love those jewelry boxes too!!
Oh Debby! I am so excited for you! Does this mean we get to see more of your photography on the blog? That would be such a treat!
ReplyDeleteYou do always inspire me to be different and fearless, and I thank you for that. I started a whole new venture last year and I'm still getting the courage to go forth with it. Thanks for this little push!
Beautiful prints! You've got talent, my friend! The bangle is super cute!
ReplyDeleteLove these prints, Debby!! you really are facing it all head-on!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday.

Debby, your prints are gorgeous! What an amazing photographer you are! I hope you open your shop soon! I want to buy one of your Nantucket prints! Good for you for following one of your passions. I admire you. I ventured into something new about a year ago and have been having so much fun. I've been painting furniture and having a ball with it.
ReplyDeleteOh Debby I'm so proud of you for all your new ventures! I really need to sort something out for myself but I'm completely lacking in inspiration. Maybe after the move I'll get inspired :) x
