▬ ASHLEY NICHOLE ▬
Hi! I'm Ashley Nichole, and I love to laugh, drink whiskey, decorate, and shop. I'm a twenty-something Cancerian girl camped out in Lake Orion, Michigan, a small town that makes me dream of much bigger ones. I share my life with my thirty-something Scorpio boyfriend Brian, and together we share our home with our three kitties: San, Milo, & Heidi. I've been formally trained in interior design and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). While interior design is a great love of mine, I've found that graphic design soothes my soul creatively. I probably spend equal amounts of time redecorating my home & looking at interiors online as I do taking photos & creating digital artwork. I recently left all my part-time jobs for one full-time one, and I love it. Some days it’s hard & almost unbearable, but after all is said & done, I truly enjoy it. Otherwise, you can usually find me kicking around home – perusing the internet; listening to music; taking & editing photos; baking, cooking, & snacking; playing The Sims 3; crocheting; painting; dyeing my hair; reading; making jewelry; whipping up cocktails; cleaning; trying to maintain my Etsy shop; and/or sleeping. I also love to shop for goodies for my home as well as for myself. Occasionally a gift for someone else will end up in the cart too. I usually come home with new furniture, textiles, clothes, or makeup. I go weak in the knees for beautiful views, inspiring images, and rich tiramisu, and my heart will melt for a handsome smile, a kind gesture, and a kitten’s meow.
▬ PINK LOVES PURPLE ▬
This rendition of my online life, Pink Loves Purple, was officially created November 2011. Previously I'd had many other online sites, including personal websites Busted Scooter, & azie designs, and personal online journals before that. I've had a handful of Etsy shops as well, including azie designs, Keep Warm, & photoshopped. My current online stores are now at PINKXOPURPLE.ETSY.COM where I sell photography + art prints, & PINKXOPURPLECROCHET.ETSY.COM where I sell crocheted goodies.
My blog is where I try to organize my thoughts and share my personal life, things I like, stuff I'm selling, and ideas I want to try. There’s no rhyme or reason really, just like my mind. Hopefully, you enjoy following along, so let’s be blog friends :)
