monday morning motivation

Hi, this is the first of one of my new features that I hope will become regular and will look forward to writing. Monday mornings can be difficult. Fact. Even if you're not starting a week of work, there is just something about Mondays, so I thought I would share a little of what is making me completely inspired and excited for the week ahead! So before you sit down to whatever you need to do today, grab a coffee and take 5 minutes to just relax.

This week it's 'my dreams'

At the moment, I am positively bursting with ideas about someday opening my dream shop. I have huge hopes and wild ambition and simply thinking about it makes me giddy! I have started a new focused journal which I will share peeks of here and there about how I want my shop to look, feel and it's ethos. I am pretty aware of my demographic and am always thinking of how to be original and not just another craft shop.

 So that's what's gonna keep me smiling today and knowing that everything I do will be a step in the right direction. Go positive thinking huh?! 

What's going to make your week?

Love Danielle

happy birthday mum!

Today is my mum's birthday...I won't share how old as I don't think she would forgive me! But its a big one today! 

We spoiled her today as she deserves and had a lovely dinner... although I wish my little sister could have been there too...(I get to see her in a week though!) 

Ever beautiful and ever fabulous, she is my inspiration as a mum myself and I just want to say Happy Bithday.

Love You Mum!

all shook up...

Hi, I have had such an exciting day today. I have learnt a lot (details to follow soon) and soul searched a lot too. In an effort to make even my wildest dreams a reality I am gonna shake things up around here. Over the next few weeks you will probably notice some changes here on Curious Key...some will be subtle (you might not even notice them) and some will be obvious. But, I am hoping that all the changes will make for a better place to come, sit down, take a few minutes and relax.

My head is full of plans, hopes and dreams and I will be working furiously into the night, trying to get them all on paper before they disappear. 

I hope you like all the changes that are to come. The first one that you may notice is I am changing the name I use to sign off my posts. I will use my real name from now on. I feel that Missy is a personal nickname between a few close friends and that it doesn't represent me or my blog properly. 

So hi, from your new (but same) blog host Danielle! I hope you will love all the changes that are on the way.

Love Danielle
