One woman's junk is another woman's treasure.

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.
