Triplicity Designs makes its debut!!!

You can't get more excited than when something just falls into your lap.  This whole business venture has been a whirlwind for me and my 2 friends, Bobbi & Sara. We kept it very hush hush for quite a while...just in case things didn't work out...because then we would look like a bunch of dorks.  But honestly, everything fell into place and today was THE OPEN HOUSE!!! 

We, Triplicity Designs, are creating/designing furniture and homegoods from reclaimed wood and other findings from old factory buildings.  The Woods Company, Inc. is our supplier of these items.  All the separate pieces are quite unique...the history behind each piece is fascinating! 

We designed and fabricated several pieces for The Woods Company, Inc. open house today.  They were having somewhat of an "information session" for architects and builders, and our lovely things were there on display as well!

This was quite a fulfilling day for each of us.  The three of us never dreamed we would be called "designers."  But to be introduced to others as that...well...I admit...it was VERY cool!! 

This dream-turned-reality may succeed...and it may fizzle...but while it's here...it's gonna be FUN!!

Opportunity = Scary!!

Opportunities come and go. Some you snoot at and move on...others you feel compelled to go along for the ride.  Whether it be a great deal on a new home, a new business venture, or what have you...

opportunity = "the unknown"

There are few times in my life where I have had an opportunity to do something that is just that...."UNKNOWN"... I'm not typically that kind of gal ~ one who says 'ok, whatever!'  I'M the kind of gal that asks every question in the book, because I need details!!  The more details, the better (for me anyway!!).   But this time, currently, right now, I'm having the guts to go with the flow ~ like so many people do!!  Usually I'm envious of those that are able to do that...and I'm proud to say, I've joined the band wagon with this... I'm going with the flow!!  So far, the 'flow' has been very uncertain, which is driving me insane! ~ but that's okay.  I'm surviving!!  

So...Cheers to a new chapter in my life.  The chapter of an uncertain business venture!  I can't believe I'm doing this...and I can't believe it's reality!
