For years (50 to be exact), I have explored many different ways to earn an income - each leaving me not quite fulfilled. So, at my MidLife, I made the decision to follow my heart and pursue a passion. I was blessed with parents who insisted that my four siblings and I learned at least the basics to become self-sufficient. This meant that all five of us could use power tools, fix the toilet, hem pa
nts and cook dinner - regardless of gender! My parents were also creative and supported me in my artistic endeavors. Although I did not realize it at the time, we were not rich growing up. We did not, however, take things for granted or believe that things were disposable just because they were "old". Now, I am using my life experience to refurbish, repurpose, up-cycle and create. I see the beauty in furniture that has long passed its prime and would rather use an item in an unexpected way to make it useful again than allow it to become land-fill. MidLife is not just about people.
