The idea of using old "things" to decorate my home did not come from the pleasure of inheriting antiques, or being a collector. It came from desperation. I did not have anything, but what other's gave me, and I would shop yard sales to find things I needed.
Now, what was once "junk" has became an obsession. I like yard sales, thrift stores, estate sales, craft malls, and antique stores. Of course I am always looking for a bargain, however it isn't the necessity as it once was. But I rather find some vintage bowl than purchase a new set at the store.
This is why I have named this blog "Divine Desperation." What was once done from desperation turned out divinely. You may not have a knack for the rusty, chippy, or old. That is great for you, but if you hopefully you can appreciate what I am saying.
I tried this blog thing a few months ago, but I didn't know what direction to take. I think I have an idea what I want. I hope you will follow along. I hope to be an actual domain, have photographs, and link up to some of my favorite blogs.
I hope to make this more than a passing fancy. First and foremost I hope to be a light to others for God. I am so encouraged by all the bloggers that expound on their faith. You hear so many negative things about the internet, it is nice to know that there is a lot good on here as well.
Blessings to all.
Amy
