This blog is all about ME....ME....ME....ME....M.E....!!!!!

Well actually....STRICTLY speaking that's not true AT ALL....

Hey Vintage Lovers EVERYWHERE....!

I've just returned from a buying trip & before I get back into the swing of things, I thought I'd take a moment to talk about my blog....WHY I blog & it's CONTENT....!

Why bother you might ask....Well it seems from feedback received, there are those of you who come here for INSPIRATION & are finding it somewhat disappointing that I don't seem to blog about anything other than my business, how much of a STRUGGLE it is as a small business owner to GROW my business & my obsession with my Filofax....

Well folks....Here it is from the horses mouth....Plain & simple....

The Shabby Vintage Junk blog is a BUSINESS based blog....It is NOT a blog about my personal life, my personal struggles, my personal beliefs....Be they those of a religious or political nature....!!!!!

The Shabby Vintage Junk blog is about my business, Shabby Vintage Junk....Stating the facts as I see them....The highs....The LOWS associated with running a small business....I will also discuss the financial 'issues', the time involved in running a small business & my BLOODY Filofax which I find to be an invaluable tool....!

If you are NOT interested in reading about these things....If you are ONLY interested in ZONING out for the few PRECIOUS MOMENTS you have to yourself each day....Visit PINTEREST & lose yourself there....!!!!!

The Shabby Vintage Junk blog is NOT fluff & pretty pictures....It is about what I do....My HOPES & DREAMS for MY business....It's NOT about what you want....YEP....I'm SELFISH like that....**wink**....That being said....If there are business related topics you would like to see me explore by all means, let me know & we might be able to work through the issue TOGETHER....!!

There are some areas within my business I consider off limits....Generally speaking these will be what I would consider work product i.e. WHERE I source a lot of my stock or specific information about the income derived from my business....That one's pretty much a no brainer though, I WILL let you know when times are TOUGH & discuss the ways in which I juggle finances to cover my overheads....!!!!!

There are times I may feel frustrated with aspects of my business....Theft, administration, keeping my business SEPARATE from my home etc....And I will use the Shabby Vintage Junk blog as a means to express my disappointments in these areas....Case in point below....

A GLUT of stock....Pay for extra storage until it's processed or risk 'shutting down' on a creative level because I can't cope with the chaos....??

I created the Shabby Vintage Junk blog as a means to reach out to LIKE MINDED people....If you are NOT a like minded person....You need to find yourself another blog to visit....While I enjoy the exchange of ideas derived through your comments I do not enjoy personal attacks made by small minded people who offer them under the guise of an Anonymous comment....A tact employed by Cyber Trolls who don't have the KOHUNAS to sign in under their own ID & leave their names....

For this reason, the Shabby Vintage Junk blog will no longer allow comments by Anonymous individuals....HOWEVER, if you do NOT have a blog & feel you would like to participate in the discussion, you are WELCOME to contact me at shabbyvintagejunk (at) hotmail (dot) com & I will include your comment....Provided of course you haven't contacted me to advise of your embarrassment that I'm posting content on my BUSINESS blog about my business....!!!!!

Well now that's out of the way I must FLY....Daylights a wasting & I have a MOUNTAIN of work to do....!!

Wherever you are, I hope you enjoy a FAB weekend filled with Treasures too NUMEROUS to count & laughter that makes your face & belly hurt....!!!!!

Cheers,
Tamarah  :o)
