Well, an important thing happened to me last night. I could act all cool and non-nonchalant about it (that WOULD be the professional thing to do...) but that's not really me. I mean, if I am feeling like this: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then I am gonna look like this:
(Whether I want to or not.)
(Not, by the way, would be the obvious choice.)
SO- what's got me so enthusiastic, you ask?
Well. I got a cardboard box delivered to my door last night and in it was....
....drumroll, please....
wall calendars! With MY photographs in them!
The fact is, while I love photography and would love to have my own photography business some day, having four smallish kiddos does seem to pose a problem for me in this season I am in. (Can you say...childcare?!) So I got to thinking...and with the encouragement of quite a few people (even some of you! Thank you for that!) I decided to try to sell some of the photos I am able to take, even surrounded by children.

All this to say.... I have started an Etsy shoppe where I will begin to sell a few of my photographs along with a few other handmade things throughout the year. One of the prospects I am especially excited about is a yearly wall calendar~ so that is where I began. The 2014 calendar theme is Blooms and Bugs (You all know how much I love those!) and each picture is taken right here at Hopestead...mostly in my flower circle. Also in the shop are postcard sets...some of you are already familiar with those. ;-)

| What does next month hold?!?! |
 |
| Probably a little something like one of these! |
Postcards can be found here.

| Okay. I admit it. I only posted this picture because I love my girls' dimples. |
What the hey.
Maybe my photos might tickle someones' fancy. And if not...well then, I guess I have all my Christmas shopping done! ;-)

Oh wow, super! Congrats! Stopping by from the crew.
Beautiful - and exciting!!
Love love, love!!! I'm so excited for you!!! :D
Absolutely love the calendar and your blog. Merry Christmas!
HURRAY! I know this little enterprise will blossom and grow into something you can't even imagine at present!
Thank you everyone! To say I am excited is an understatement- but you knew that by that insane first photo. ;-)
Just ordered one. The only change I would make would have been to put that photo of your excited face on one of the months so that every time I walked into my laundry room on that month I would laugh. :P :D
(p.s. Just put an anniversary picture of my husband and me on my blog. Sigh. My blog. My long forgotten blog. Sigh again...)
congratulations!! wish you a lot of success.
