It time to share my news....
it's time for me to "
spill my guts" {thanks
Tara for pushing me to spill}
Time to share something that started out as a wild thought, a dream, that I spoke about on my blog and was seeking advice on the question of
" how do you know when to keep a dream a dream or to take a leap of faith and go for it?"
The comments were wonderful. I absorbed them all, took the advice and thought about it.
Then placed in a safe place in the back of my mind to think about it at a later time.
But something happened.
Every time I tucked my thought away it kept coming up again. Not by me but by others telling me go for it!
When this would happen I would run to my husband {because he is my other half... the guy who knows me the best and understands me and my dream and fears} and tell him my thoughts on this idea and what just happened and do you think this is a sign from God to give it a try.... {this is all said as a run on sentence as he walks in the door from work without a second to adjust to being home}
he would calmly look at me.
and tell me ....
I am behind you 100%....
really....
are you sure....
It was that cut and dry.
what are you waiting for....
He gave me his answer to my question now it was up to me to decide if this is something i wanted to really try.
I have my answer....
I'm giving it a try! I have his loving arms to walk into whether this dream takes off or flops...
because what I have learned is the best part is the trying....
the best part of this dream has already happened....
it came from my husband and kids...
and their support.
having them with me as i searched for "finds" for my dream.
having them as consultants at the paint store.... to get answers like "why are you asking us or opinions? This is what you do!"
yes, the best part is taking a leap of faith overcoming the fear I have and forcing myself to climb.... to overcome all the reasons why i think i should not do this... and just do it and see what happens...
Now, the last thing i needed to do is tell you all about it....
that has been my biggest fear.
Why?
because I'm embarrassed... there i said it.... i don't know what you will think or say.
Okay I'm taking a big breath and I'm sharing.... then I am logging off and having a double shot latte with extra foam!
LuLu & co. is opening it's doors.
Singing out loud and sharing my finds!
Treasures that I have found and reworked, repurposed.
Some treasures just needed a good dusting off and a gentle soak in the sink...
but it's all ME...
it's me, lulu, my vintage finds and eclectic treasures
everything that is for sale are favorites of mine that have me break out in song...
and have me dancing with joy!
I am having my very first "preview sale" tomorrow!
I know I have been too afraid to share this but I am more afraid of tomorrow so I am coming to you and spilling...
I have reserved a spot at a flea market outside the Vintage Source and for 2 days only, Saturday and Sunday, I am taking a chance to see what happens.
if....
BIG IF
the response is encouraging....
there is a second part to my dream...... which needs to be continued on Monday..... because it depends on the response this weekend.
I leave you with this.....
a flower made just for you. My thank you for letting me "spill" my dream and being there no matter what happens this weekend. The wine has been selected for tomorrow night. It will be opened and consumed whether I sell one item or not. The first toast will be to my husband.... for his unconditional love and push to give my dream a try and the second toast will be to you, all my blog friends, for giving me the encouragement to dream a little bigger, to be me, Lulu.
P.S. I gave you a sneak peak at the tags I made yesterday as i ran in circles. It's attached to the flower... do you see it? They are stamped with my favorite number.... you know me it's all in the details!
Here's to a weekend of dreams, love and a whole lot of singing and dancing. now I am about to cry.... cause I cry when I'm scared!
Come on by and bring your bathing suit!
The popsicles have been restocked this morning...
Wishing you a day full of Popsicles treats and family fun !!! 
There is excitement in the air....
This is when hubby tells me to breath and you are
