Collective Thinking: Shared Workspaces
July 26, 2012
Rachel and I have mentioned several times before about our longing for home workspaces of our own. Now that the kids on vacation from school it’s been especially hard for me to sit down and write (between “I want a snack!” and “can you turn the sprinkler on?” interruptions) and I’ve pulled a few more late nighters than I anticipated. I did plan on stocking up at least a few more blog topics this week while they were at their day camps but suddenly found myself very distracted with a potential business adventure and it’s BIG! I am literally chomping at the bit to tell you more but for now will have to leave you hanging, at least until some key details fall into place. But these pictures may just give you a huge hint about what’s in the works for the very near future…

Have you had the opportunity to sit with a group of like-minded people to brainstorm and swap ideas with? I’ve been lucky enough to share plenty of creative sessions with Rachel (who I’ve been missing more than ever this week!) and casual coffee dates with other vintage sellers, bloggers and larger groups as well. It always feels great to bounce ideas off of others who “get” what you’re doing and I’m always amazed at the amount of creative inspiration that can spark from seemingly chance encounters. Fingers crossed that I’ll have many more of these meetings-of-the-minds very soon! Sorry for the cliff hanger but please stay tuned…

Oh I can totally relate. My kids have taken over my “work space” which is an open area of our home. I’m dying trying to get anything done. Can’t wait to hear your fab news!!!!

I really like the idea of sharing a workspace with fellow creatives – a like-minded group of people sharing their inspirations and collaborating is a good thing.

A collaborative environment where creative minds bounce ideas and concepts off of one another is THE BEST and one worth pursuing. I trust your opportunity will come to fruition soon and you can share the good news with all of us. Cheers, Yvonne :)
