But my office is more about the me who grown and changed through years of living in Florida, the Rockies and rural Pennsylvania.
Of course, there are baskets and files filled with booklets and brochures about Austin events for my Austin blog....and piles of menus and business cards to inspire future posts.
There's also a bulletin board filled with inspiration from now and years gone past, where everything from bumper stickers to pages from old books share space with photos and postcards and bits of ads where the color or the font is far more important than the product it's trying to sell.
My blogger world is also home to less-than-pristine antique dolls rescued from auction shoppers eager to use them for parts....because they remind me that things don't have to be perfect or new to matter.
And it's where I keep pictures of my kids
and my husband
so I can stay grounded in what really matters in life.
My office where the posts of this blog and A is 4 Austin come to life, where I explore other people's blogs and images, and where I test new ideas.
It's more than an office...amid the stuffed animals and antiques and more-pens-and-colored-pencils-than-anybody-really-needs, it's my creative home.

P.S. I took a peek at your previous blog post..May 29, 2012..Thank you for sharing...eye opener!!
I like the way you think!!!I love that things don't have to be new! I also love that you are in TX and there is no cowboy stuff! LOL! I am outside of Dallas - no cowboy stuff here! LOL!
Love me some Texas!! How can you not love a state where the people are so gosh, darn proud of it??!! I've only visited maybe 5 times but it left a soft spot in my heart. I love the photo you took of that doll head.. just looking at her eyes she seems so appreciative that you rescued her! Jumped over to your other blog and found where you posted about Uncommon Goods. Fabulous store, huh??! Thanks for sharing and I do plan on coming back. When you get a chance, come on over and have a visit. Would love to have you and thanks for sharing your space!
Delightful peeps, Love your inspirational board too. Keep blogging and creating. Very moving previous post too. Every one has a story we just have to look and listen, help when we can.
Ooh, love it! It's so great to have an area where you can be creative and stay grounded at the same time! Thanks for sharing, and your previous post is just...heartbreaking...you're right.

Lindsey,
First, reconnecting after a few years and just discovered you did get a new house HERE IN AUSTIN! Welcome to Austin!
And just wanted to thank you for reposting the 100 things. Been reading and connected with Derek Rydall, who's been coaching me on bringing about that abundance mindset. Your list of happy things is a perfect example of how we accomplish that sense of gratitude and appreciation that brings about happiness and abundance inherently. THANK YOU!
And I do hope you check out my two new books that just went up on free promotion on Kindle. The links to both are on my blog.
Dan
