She Hath Wings
"Something opens our wings. Something
makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us:
We taste only sacredness. " ~ Rumi
On September 11, 2001.....yes, "9/11".....I quit my "day job" as a medical billing clerk and I started to "follow my bliss" and to "do what I love". Life is short and it is NOT always "about the money". I gave up a "steady paycheck" so I could start to DREAM, CREATE, INSPIRE & IMAGINE!
I love all things VINTAGE and I love to create ART.....thus was born "Remember Me" ~ vintage inspired design & decor. In this fast paced, often lonely/disconnected world.....we should REMEMBER and LOVE one another.
My desire is to gladden hearts & bring JOY with simple treasures that remind you that "Life is Beautiful". My offerings.......sweet, uplifting, comforting, encouraging works of art & vintage keepsakes to grace your life. Tokens of affection.
I remember the JOY & excitement that I felt on my first trip to a "thrift shop". I was a very young girl & my friend across the street was going with her mother to the thrift shop.....they asked me to go along. We were looking for clothes to play "dress up" with ~ skirts, hats, gloves, pocketbooks, pretty shoes, sparkly jewelry. This was in the early 60's, so you can imagine what FUN we had & how much cool stuff we found! To this day, I derive such happiness from finding sweet sentimental treasures that have been much loved by others. It makes my heart glad to know that I am helping to RECYCLE these treasures into my own home or into the homes of other women who will love & adore them.
I also love to sew! When I was in the 7th grade, my Mom helped me pick out a pattern & some material. I set up her old green Elna sewing machine in the basement on the ping-pong table & did not come back upstairs until I had completed my outfit! Needless to say......I excelled at "Home Ec" in Jr. High & even went on to win the "Betty Crocker Homemaker Award" at my school one year! I now have a FABULOUS "stash" of vintage fabric/trims/ buttons etc. that I have collected over the years.

My artistic path was inspired by my Mom who was a very talented potter & painter. I remember watching her while in her art studio & seeing such JOY on her face, totally absorbed in her painting. I now understand her JOY.
Peace & Blessings.
Love, Emily.
