Hello
It's been awhile again... winter is passed and there are tender leaves sprouting on the trees and new life surrounds us. An eternal promise of new beginnings which brings hope and expectations of Gods goodness and favor. He is always faithful to sprout that new seed and bring insight in a new season.
This spring or season brings a complete shift and a new life to what I have known for 26 years. This past year I have experienced many changes and what was once very comfortable and routine is now a little strange and unsettling. My comfort zone has been shaken and is about to be rocked even more but it is all ok because my foundation is on the Rock of Christ, this cannot be shaken.
For the past 7 years I have been in change.
I closed my shop, and spent the next 3 years selling its inventory at shows and flea markets. The next 2 years I worked in my studio creating art and selling it for the most part and then I took 2 years and just concentrated on painting with the Lord.
Last year... my husband went home to be with the Lord and I have been in transition. But before he died the Lord had been opening up missions work and I felt my calling. My focus is just to love others as Christ has called us to do, without an agenda. We are called to carry the good news to others and share what Christ has done... to simply call home the Fathers loved ones. There's nothing to do, Christ did it all and now all you have to do is come home to a loving Daddy God.
And so starts a new season of my life, I am moving on.
Rebecca Ersfeld owner of Simply Posh in Geneva and Vintage Living in Glen Ellyn, is selling her home in Batavia and its contents.
While owning her shops Rebecca has collected many beautiful antiques for 25 years in the French and cottage farmhouse style. Her home, shop and studio
have been featured in various popular publications such as Romantic Homes, Romantic Country, Where Women Create and more.
For sale along with her home furnishings, also include shop display pieces and the contents of her studio which features
Vintage Fr. fabrics, ephemera, buttons, ribbons and many more treasures.
Primarily I want to say that this is going to be a celebration, this is not vultures picking my bones. I could stay here and continue to do what I've done for the past 26 years and be blessed in it but I have a bigger dream. This has been fun, I had a wonderful time creating a look that others enjoyed. The shops, my home was all an extension of who I was and my identity but only in part... I am much more. So all this fun I had collecting and putting together the look, someone else can pick it up and develop their style. All this can be replaced but not love, people and the experience of sharing yourself with others. So this is really what I've done all along... sharing myself with others... only this time is the last time for Vintage Living and Simply Posh.
So let's have a party!
I will be posting periodically different collections I have for sale and studio stuff... so keep visiting. Thank all of you for your kind support on fb www.facebook.com/rebecca.ersfeld, pinterest and instagram.
I would also appreciate any shout out about the sale here on blogger.
Thank you all and many blessings
Rebecca
