First post:Let's see how this goes

     Okay so I'm sitting here in my chair at my computer and I have no idea how to start this blog. I had a first post several years ago when I was in hair school.... I deleted that.
   So like I said, I'm sitting here and starting things is always the worst right? I'm not a writer, I'm not a blogger, I'm not good at spelling, and my grammar sucks (so you'll have to please excuse my many mistakes that are sure to come up). I used to be good at keeping a journal when I was 18 and tried to make everything sound like I was in a Jane Austen novel, but you know, no one else is reading those but me so no pressure (unless I die famous and they find them years after my death... which is what I used to think about when I wrote them. We know that's not happening though.).
   So I'm sitting here and I guess the first post has to be a sort of introduction. So here goes. (This stuff gets boring but it must be gotten out of the way) I'm Chandra *waves*. I am 38 and fast approaching 39, which is really weirding me out right now. I moved from Portland Oregon to Chattanooga Tennessee, got my bachelors in art... did art restoration for several years, bad economy went to hair school, I do hair part time and work one day a week at an antique store. (Still with me?) I sell antiques at two booths in town with my boyfriend. Oh yeah...I have a boyfriend (Wesley)

and an Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ManinthePaperMoon
I am currently obsessed with little ceramic animals, Polaroids,
and trying to find an 80's Swatch watch. My obsessions change often. I'm sure you will discover that as we go along.    
   So... (I say so too much) I think this blog is going to be a platform for me to post stuff I like, like vintage pictures of ... whatever. Or thrifting trips and sneak peaks at Etsy items I'll be putting up soon, and probably a lot of pictures of my dog, 'cause that's what people do, post pictures of their pets.
   And on that note, I will leave you with a little of Fats Waller doing his thang. Aint Misbehavin
