Forced to be on Facebook?

Are you on Facebook now because you have to be?

Take a minute to really think about that question before answering.

This question is what my husband and I discussed this morning over coffee. The discussion was raised after reading and sharing Richard Harrington’s article from 2013 on PhotoFocus that touched on the still simmering concerns of photographers and users alike regarding the Terms of Service.

Didn’t Read Facebook’s Fine Print? Here’s Exactly What It Says.

So many people I know have made mention that Facebook is how they stay in touch with family and friends, how they promote their businesses and that they can’t imagine living without it. I appreciate all the reasons why Facebook is part of our daily lives but I can also appreciate life without it.

Now, I am not saying you need to go out and deactivate or permanently delete your accounts. . . but I am encouraging you to carefully consider your privacy and future use of the social giant (and any other social media site) personally and professionally.

I have brought together some interesting articles (and a great video from Matthias) for you to explore regarding Facebook . . . I hope you bookmark this post and take the time to read them all.

My next #FurnitureRestoration project! 😍 This My next #FurnitureRestoration project! 😍

This gorgeous carved #RockingChair is in need of some serious TLC. 

Someone had the brilliant idea of using screws instead of replacing the dowel on the arm. That decision led to many problems including a decorative piece on the broken arm that snapped. 

I’m so fortunate that this beautifully carved chair made its way into my life. (I think it’s walnut wood)

It’s been a few years since I’ve restored anything and I miss the peaceful ritual of bringing a once broken piece back to life. 

I often wonder about the people who made furniture like this and who it was made for. 

I imagine this rocking chair near a window on a sunny day - the perfect spot to knit, sew, or read a book. ❤️

@thebrandonpierce thoughtfully shared this beauty with me today. 😍 

Our small #CottageGarden is slowly waking up from its winter slumber and I can’t wait to see all of the blooms this year. 

I’m *really* excited about our plans to update some of our flower beds 
with a mix of flowers, herbs,  grasses, and vegetables.
