Sanctuary {Austin}

I was so pleased when Hanna Curran from Sanctuary in Austin, Texas wrote to me over the weekend. Sanctuary is a new boutique dedicated to timeless, beautiful, and unique gifts -- mostly collected from emerging designers from around the world. Hanna believes in the beauty of simplicity and that objects should be indulgent, functional and affordable.


One very encouraging point Hanna made was when she mentioned how many of her ideas for Sanctuary came from reading decor8. It's always so exciting to hear from readers and to learn about the projects that you are working on that involve doing what you love. I receive so many emails from readers who have either set up shop, started their own blog, left a job that they hated to pursue their own business... All of these goals take guts to set and achieve but you are all making it happen on a constant basis! I can't help but feel proud of each one of you and how we come together through blogs to help motivate one another to action.


All of the blogs out there in our great community help to contribute to the progress people are making as they work towards their dreams. And not all these dreams include shop ownership, some write in showing a chair they've reupholstered or an art wall they've created using prints discovered on their favorite blogs. It makes my day to read emails like this, that's why I try to share what readers are doing from time to time, such as Hanna's new shop in Austin. Congratulations Hanna on your gorgeous new store!
