I can hardly believe that 2010 is coming to an end. It has been quite a year. It was just fourteen months ago that AphroChic expanded beyond being just a blog and dove into the world of textiles. And this year we went even further to offer a new collection that's expanded to wallpaper and other home accessories. The year has been full of highs, and has also been a time of great transition. I started this year in San Francisco, and am ending it back on the east coast, and am ready to start life as a full-time designer. This year has also been a great time to connect with so many of you. I have enjoyed meeting friends of this blog in person through tweet-ups, events, and even chatting more on Twitter and Facebook with many of you.
2011 holds so much promise. I am ready for a year of renewed creativity, and am excited to move into working on design full-time, and bringing you more incredible posts on this blog. You can expect more Style Talk interviews with some fabulous folks - our first being Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan of Apartment Therapy; a new blog design; and some expanded products in our AphroChic shop! It's going to be a fabulous year ahead.
What are you looking forward to in the New Year?
P.S. - for a fun weekend read check out my latest post on HGTV.com all about classic black and white design. Enjoy!

Just found you yesterday. What a thrill. 2011 is going to be outstanding! I'm starting a new venture, an online art gallery featuring my fashion illustration work. I've been blogging about it, hubby's building the site, we're set to launch this month and I'm terrified but we're getting lots of positive feedback and it's very exciting! What's life without risks, right? HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteEdwina, good luck to you! I wish you a successful 2011.
