Bookworm Meets Bookworm Announcement

The past couple of months have been a whirlwind. To give you an idea: J & I have visited 10 states in four months. Talk about CRAZY. We've visited friends, family and interesting places. I cannot even express my gratefulness for the life I'm living. So... in the midst of driving and flying and hugging and goodbye-ing (had to), we've also been putting our creative hats on and devising plans to lead lives that make us even happier. 

J & I have both had lofty goals all of our lives. He may or may not have been in a popular band in his early 20s that had him flying around the country, seeing the sites (I have been sworn to secrecy), but that was then and this is now. We want more than the 9 to 5 and we both want to incorporate travel into the everyday. We toyed around with various endeavors, and are both currently working on creative side projects with the hopes of growth, but ultimately decided to begin our jump from the norm with the creation of our Etsy shop: Scout and Score!, a vintage kitchenware fun house.


Getting everything together and pushing it live was so incredibly thrilling. We may play the waiting game while it grows, but we're doing it and it can't be better than that! It's so much fun going out and hunting for treasures in forgotten places. Our adventures have helped us gather goods from various spots in the US and is something we're working on incorporating into a mini-travel blog. The entire process is a project I look forward to playing with each and everyday. By the way, you can find us on Twitter by searching @scountandscore.

I just want to stress that I've been blown away by the amount of support and kind words I've received from the blogging community. I can't express my thanks! Seriously, you guys have really made my week! It's definitely another indication that creating this blog was one of the best decisions I've ever made.


I hope everyone has an obnoxiously happy weekend!
