MY MOUNTAIN GET-A-WAY and a MOUNTAIN OF GIVE-AWAYS!!!

This begins my journey from my little slice of heaven in Tampa, Robyn Story Designs and Boutique... to my beautiful PIECE of heaven...my home in Colorado.  I can't begin to tell you the feeling of peace that falls over me when I come home to our mountain retreat.

Fifteen years ago I had a terrific opportunity to organize and lead amazing team building trips in the wonderful mountains of Colorado.  My previous employer was so inspiring and had great vision.  We gathered up all the people throughout the country from our field offices and hit the trail.  In the mountains and on these trips, your position in the company didn't matter.  We traveled as equals and shared in some fulfilling team building experiences.

We worked together, enjoying the great outdoors and we were always respectful of mother nature and the fabulous wildlife who graciously shared their space with us.  It was incredible!  Together, as a group, we managed to conquer several of the amazing summits in the mountains, this was a true accomplishment for all of us.  It was during one of these trips that I knew I had to always have a piece of Colorado in my life.

Colorado is one of my true loves, it's where my soul is at it's most peaceful and where I find true inspiration.  Steve and I have lived in the mountains for about 15 years now ...   I have also made many wonderful friends and customer's here.  Those that know  me, know me well enough to realize that I can never truly just 'vacation'.  I love to be busy and find all things to be inspiring.  I started a floral business here, out of my garage as well, and continue my relationship with many beautiful stores here in the mountains of Colorado.

King Louie!

This year Steve and King Louie (our  PRECIOUS Portuguese water dog) started the tour without me and headed to Colorado with a car full of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and many other goodies.  I am so excited to go to all my favorite stores, find new ones and load up on things to paint and sell while here on vacation. Wouldn't you find this view inspiring as well!

So I invite you to follow my journey through the blog, I will be showing you all the things that I find most special here.  I'm gone for two short weeks but plan to be very busy relaxing, painting, walking, pondering and enjoying each moment.  I hope you can enjoy it with me.  I will leave you with some beautiful pictures of the gardens in full bloom.  Only mother nature could provide such a gorgeous riot of color!
