NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL GIFT SHOW

We are on our way to the New York Gift Show. It's our first show in New York and were pleasantly surprised when they placed us in the Studio section. Hoping we'll have time to blog and send photos. Now it's off to bed and fast asleep before the 4:15 am alarm.

MY FIRST ENTRY + AMELIA'S 3

What a huge day around here. Not only are we celebrating the first entry into my brand spankin new blog, but also my Sweet Amelia's birthday!!

As you get to know me, you'll soon find out just how much I adore Amelia (Mia) and Wyatt. They are my grandkids and I'm their Mimi. Without them I wouldn't be Mimi and Mimi's Collection wouldn''t exist. They have a way of showing me a fresh perspective on things that I let become ordinary. Through a child's eyes things are more vibrant, fresh, colorful.

All that said, I am so happy to begin my blogging career...and career is exactly what I'm turning this into. Carefully researching and cautiously experimenting, I have studied and planned and am officially taking my first baby steps. I'm not a computer whiz, and after all these years, can still be heard arguing with the thing. But see, I've thrown caution to the wind and here I am. I say, "CHEERS" ever so quietly (since I finally got brave after 2 am).

Welcome. May this blog inspire you, occasionally captivate you, frequently make you smile and mostly encourage you to see otherwise ordinary things in a fresh new way.
