So my hobby as you know is collecting (and using) Lomo, Polaroid and Instax cameras. I really love this but sometimes it has to go aside because I have more stuff I need to concentrate on :)
First of all I paint/draw and it was always my dream to have an exhibition so year 2014 was THE year! I managed to have two exhibitions (both in Prague cafés) I set up my facebook page and also my portfolio on tumblr (instead of my old one) it all made my happy but I knew this thing will be not easy to do for living (understand:to make enough money to live from:)
At the same time I felt burned out at my current job as an Office manager and even though I got a big (money wise) offer I had to refuse because I felt like it´s the time to start my own thing and do something creative.
So we come to my second hobby - which is now the thing I do for living - and that is designing and restoring old furniture. I started alterations in 2014 and really wanted to go big but I didn´t have enough time, space and money to do so. Then year 2015 started and by a happy coincidence (let´s say) I found online a person who saw my furniture, loved it and decided he wants to be part of it.
And that´s how we started our business! We bought all supplies and materials and I created first samples of furniture which we now sell here under the name Pink Robin! We also launched our facebook page.
I can´t tell you if this will work (yet) but I can tell you I´m 100% happy and I feel like I´m ALIVE!
P.S. do something you love for living! or at least try it because it´s better to try and fail then never try at all (horrible cliché but true!)
