Things change, Life happens…
It was time for me to experience life on a different level. It was also time for me to do all those little things I was longing to do, since my children have grown.One, for starters start a Blog. Two, start a business. Three, be creative in a world of many creative beings.
I needed a hobby.
In 2010, my life was about to change. My computer, my cannon, and my notepad were my new sidekicks.
This is how my humble beginnings all began. Dreaming, “Vintageness” in the wee hours of the night. Doing what I love best and loving all things Vintage concept came into fruition. My name is Elizabeth Hanley. Some of my fans know me best as, “LizlovesVintage.” I wear my important hats. I’m a Mom, Homemaker, Wife, New Grandma, Advocate for Battered Women and work a FT. job with Special needs children. It’s a busy life but, I wouldn’t change any of it if I could. In my spare time, you can find me the flea. Adding, a little bit of Vintage with a touch of Liz, in each handpicked treasure I find. A unique conversation piece or that one collectible find make it’s way back to my Etsy shop for sale. Believe me it’s hard parting with some of these Vintage gems.
Only if I had a bigger home to store it all in! Lastly,I’m a true Blogger. Blogging gave me the inspiration I was longing for with an added zest to be creative. Here I incorporate Vintage living, Aspirations and Collecting. I’ve found that hobby I was so desperately searching for.The web is an amazing place. An amazing place where I want to be and proud to be in it as a huntress of Vintage. Stop by and join in on the conversation. Or maybe, take a peek to see what I’m up to next!
A special Thank You to all who have guided me along the way. Given me that extra support to start something new and exciting.
My Hubby for holding my hand and my Best Friend Stephanie,for pushing me in the right direction.
Kudos, to Where Women Create. For inspiring Women to follow their dreams … No matter how small they may be.
Thanks Again.
Peace, Love, Vintage

What a wonderful feature and giveaway!
What a lovely idea! I don’t have enough space to collect all the things I love. You’ve inspired me to write about them and/or incorporate them in my art.
Dear Elizabeth, When reading your “goals”, I thought you peeked inside my journal! I long to have my own business – something with books, cottage, comfort. Blog: I “dabble” I set up a website blog. I’m not very consistent. This week, I joined tumblr. Maybe I’ll post there more! Third, be involved in the creative world! I love color and like to incorporate it wherever I can. I want time to scrapbook and use my creative juices. So, your blog has inspired me. The only thing is, my kids have not “left the house” yet. My boys are only 11 and 9. They take alot of my time. But my dreams won’t fade. Someday they will be mine. One step at a time. One day at a time. : ) Donna
Thank you for sharing the beauty in your minds eye. I was having a down day from medicines for arthritis making me sick. Your post inspired me to find the beauty in today. I am heading to my little creative space and pulling out supplies. I am willing my hands to cooperate with my minds eye.
Love these wonderful old photos . . . would love to inherit them!
wow!! The ideas are already flowing. It would be awesome to win this!

I have a question How and Where did you get started blogging?
I really nedd to get started but don’t know how or where to do it.

Hugs to you,

I so love Fabulous Fridays. IT is an extension supplement to the magazine after one has read it cover to cover.. This story of of Liz has touched me greatly as
I too am on the edge of change myself . Change is good. Reinventing!
My life is a full dance card too. Doing my art and watching a 97 year old dear person and teaching clay. It is a good tired and I too will be starting the blog thing . Moving it from the private journal and into the world.
THere is not enough words to describe how I love vintage photos. Many have inspired paintings. I hang them up and have adopted them as my family .
how beautiful- please count me in!
women living a jam packed, full & satisfying life – that is what it is all about. and if we share that it IS all possible, then spread the word sister!
lovely cards.
Absolutely love this giveaway! Yes, please. ;)
Love reading about Liz! So creative and such an inspiration. Will check out her blog right now! Jamie V in MT
