Welcome to Peace Love Industries
So..... My very first blog post! Dum dee dooo! What to post I wondered to myself! After a bit I realised that the only way to go would be to take you right back to the beginning of Peace Love Industries.
Ok! Peace Love started when I was pregnant with my second baby.  I have always been a bit creative but just needed that extra something to inspire me to do it more often.  Also looking for ways to make some extra cash,  I decided to combine the two.  On my 27th birthday I also got that extra nudge when a friend of mine & her partner gave me a big home made awesome blackboard made out of wall skirting (if thats what its called? my husband would prob correct me lol) I Loved it! And getting this gave me even more inspiration to start.  I knew I wanted to create wall art & do up frames, I knew I wanted to sell them on the internet.  Oh all the possibilities with technology these days.  If I was to do it, I wanted to do it properly!
So to begin.... Well you need resources! A lot of them! So to get some cash towards some art supplies I started up a local facebook page called 'Great Gizzy Garage Sale'  It was to sell some preloved belongings to some friends to help set up this business that I decided to call Peace Love Industries!!!!!  Well this was awesome! The money started dripping in & I was a tad obsessed actually.... lol finding things around the house to sell that I probably wasnt allowed to...  As the husband noticed things he didnt want me to sell haha.  And by this stage I had My darling wee boy called Tyson so I had a bit of spare time while he slept to sell goodies!  Thousands of photos later lol It actually is a job ya know, having your own online garage sale.  Time & effort! But I persisted because along with wanting art supplies I was desperate for a COFFEE MACHINE!!!! Yummy :) 
So several weeks later I got some art supplies and the husband helped contribute to the rest of my coffee machine I had on layby for my birthday! I was stoked.  I also asked people for free or cheap frames and was showered by heaps of them from some awesome people... You know who you are... that donated some frames, mainly because they were interested in what I was planning to do with them.  Thanks guys!  So it was these first frames that led me to make these creations.
Loving all your fabulous work. You truly are an inspiration to me, children husband and work and managing to do all of this is so sooooo amazing. Loving the blog!! Can't wait to read more and to see more of your gorgeous talent xoxo
