Death Of A Dream

It has been 24 hours now since I closed the store.

In all my months there I did get but only one walk in customer.

Towards the end I went all but crazy. Maybe I did go crazy.

This failure I take very personally, 

All though there were stores closing all around me…..

Florida is in a desperate state for sure.

The design industry is all but shot.

Except for a few that are holding hands with the most successful

real estate brokers selling 3 million {and upwards} dollar condos.

That’s how it goes here.

-Tons of money or none.

And NO,

I couldn’t get anyone to hold my hand that was selling anything,

Much less something worth spending money on with a designer to put window treatments in to,

Or anything else that was pricy or fabulous.

What’s the deal…..do my armpits smell????

I tried to keep a stiff upper lip, but the facts are the facts.

I just had to get out.

I am pretty devastated by this and may not be posting for a while.

Maybe I will finally be able to visit your blogs ,

If I can get my chin off the ground and stop this shitty piss poor feeling inside.

I will get through this.

I know…

I always f---ing do.

And yes, I am angry at myself, the economy, and life in general.

I am mostly angry because I am so overwhelmed and sad.

When I get off my pity pot and figure things out…

I will be back.

To those of you that I love…

I send you more of it.

This bird still has his head,

Mine has been lopped off.

Not a good day at all.

Hope you are having a great day -

with your head attached and all!!!

Living on a barge in France

I would love to get my hands on this barge in France.

I would do topiary's on either side of the door

right away. 

The constantly changing view alone would be fun

and chat worthy.

Imagine this deck with the right outdoor furniture

and potted flowering plants

I would use 2 great hanging plants on this over-hang.

You could get so creative with the table and chairs.

The beauty of living on a river, on a barge is that there is very

little wake to deal with.

I can dream can't I ???

I really want this!!!

Can you envision this barge made over in your taste and style?
