changes and new beginnings
2011 wasn’t my best year. Lyme disease really got me and my energy level was very low. Although there were still many good times with (blog) friends and family, I wasn’t able to do nearly as much as I had planned.
Things seem to have stabilized now and I have to come to terms with the fact that the Lyme disease probably won’t get much better. The good news is that it probably won’t get worse either. I’m finding ways to cope with the symptoms (mainly pain and fatigue) in my daily life and trying to get back in the swing of things.
One radical change has been made: I will no longer be selling my vintage goods. When I started ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD it was all about hand-made, re-slyled and vintage. From now on I will focus on HAND-MADE and re-styled as that’s where my passion lies. I still love vintage goods and I’ll still visit every flea market and thrift shop possible, but only for my own use.
My plan for this year is to MAKE SOMETHING EVERY DAY! Let’s see how that goes;-) x

zolang jij mooie dingen blijft maken kan ik daar heel goed mee leven! ik ben benieuwd wat er allemaal uit je handen gaat komen, succes en toch ook sterkte. liefs Hinke
Sounds very exciting dear Jane, your work is always inspirational so it will be an absolute joy to follow this epic new project! I am very much looking forward to it…
Change is good and while I will be sad to see the end of your vintage shop (you found some amazing tins!) I do hope you will share your thrifty finds with us?
Many hugs and a very happy New Year to you,
Emma, x
Wat goed dat je voor jezelf kiest, je eigen passie!
Misschien voelt het wel als een verplichte keuze, maar ook die zijn soms goed (achteraf) en brengen nieuwe inzichten.
Gelukkig kies je ervoor om wel mooie dingen te blijven maken, want je bent uniek en inspireert veel mensen.
Hopelijk staat Lyme je niet al teveel in de weg!
lieve groet.
