Shannon came into my shop quite some time back and asked me to consign some lovely antiques for her and her husband. I instantly liked her warm and open personality, as well as her beautiful red hair and smile.
Some of you may remember the wonderful 18th century hutch/buffet at the front of the shop we sold a few months back. That beautiful antique as well as others found new homes and we were proud to foster them until they moved on. These items were Shannon's.
Since my initial meeting with Shannon, I have gotten to meet her sisters, mom, husband, children, nieces and nephews. And to my delight, have been honored to visit with her several times. Each time we visited, more and more of our similarities were unraveling and I kept being intrigued to know more about her. Shannon is 33, much younger than myself and while I see myself in her at that age, I also see her as an older soul too.
People come and go from our lives daily and it is not often I find such a caring person who is as open a book as I am.
What I will take from her, is what I have been doing this past year and a half:
Believe in your dream and know that you succeed......
