Living your dreams...the announcement

Well, I am definitely living my dreams in 2010.

Today I took a big step into my perfect world. I resigned from my writing position, effective immediately. I am two weeks away from dedicating my entire day, Monday to Friday, to Retro Age Vintage Fabrics.

What this resignation heralds is a new pathway for Justin and I. We are now both servicing the business full-time - and this means we can triple, almost quadruple - the time we spend on it. It means we're available to our customers 24/7, seven days a week, basically.

And what we're also aiming for is to be sustainable and off-the-grid (don't know how long this part will take). I'll be baking our bread, making our custards, making our yoghurts and cheeses and we'll be tending our vegetable garden, herb patch and patting our chickens.

I hope you'll enjoy our stories along the way. We're living our dreams, owning and running our own business and hope to be self-sufficient. If you're interested in any of these things you're welcome to visit any time...

I'll be in touch more in two weeks...can't wait! So much to tell you all about...
