UPCOMING SHOWS and A DIFFICULT DECISION

Shows, Etsy, Family, and, Health, are all part of the reason for the difficult decision I'll share in a minute.

This coming Saturday, September 5th, I'll be returning to the Chesterton European Market in Chesterton, IN.



I had a great time a couple weeks ago.  The customers were so friendly, and, appreciative. 

On Saturday, September 12th, I'll be back at The Three French Hens in Morris, IL.  LUV this market.







Now, for the difficult decision I've made.

I will no longer be one of the hosts of the VINTAGE INSPIRATION PARTY.  I simply have too much on my plate right now.

I have to narrow my focus in order to devote the time I need to family, health, and, business.  I'm notorious for having way too many balls in the air, and, it's been taking a toll on me lately.  More than usual.  Even the decision to stay or leave as a host was stressing me out.

I sincerely appreciated being invited to be a part of such an inspirational party.  My fellow hosts were very understanding.

So, PLEASE continue to be inspired by  Angie, Betsy, Carlene, Bliss, and, their participants by checking out the VINTAGE INSPIRATION PARTY each week.

    I know how difficult it is to make decisions sometimes when it comes to things we enjoy, however, we can only do so much. I am finding it easier every day to say "No" to people's requests as it is all I can do to keep up with what is necessary. All your followers love you and we want you to be happy and healthy and have the time you need for yourself and your priorities. Love you so much!

    Rosemary making decisions for your health and family oftentimes is stress driven, do what you feel you need to do and we will understand and support you.

    You need to please yourself(and your health) before anyone else. Saying no is difficult, but carrying stress is worse. I've had to say no and feel such an incredible sense of relief after. Take care of yourself.

      It was difficult, but, I felt like a weight was lifted. One less thing to do.

    Totally get it Rosemary you have a lot with just doing your shows so it is so ok to let things go. Life is so busy as it is so why make more work. I hope to see you at the French Hens.

    We're going to miss having you with us, Rosemary, but we know right where to find you. Health and family come first ALWAYS. I know your upcoming shows will be a huge success, just wish I lived close enough to shop.

    Rosemary, now that I've started my own weekly party, I realize what a time commitment it is. It is so hard to balance things and I'm not sure I could do what you already do. I did two shows and will probably never do one again! lol Wishing you all the best in your endeavours and thank you for stopping by the blog and leaving such a nice comment! ;o) God bless! xo

    I had the same fear as Amy - so happy it wasn't the blog you had to let go! The hosts left will continue to do an awesome job - take care of yourself!
