I can&#8217;t tell you how awesome it is to wake up every morning and read such incredible compliments. <\/p>\n<p>Today, I would just like to take this moment to let you know that I am unable to keep up with replies, and I&#8217;ve been holding off on stating this in a post because I was thinking at some point soon things would slow down and I&#8217;d be able to reply to each and every one of you like I used to be able to do. Things aren&#8217;t slowing down. So, i just wanted to let you know that if you have written me an email in the past few months &#8211; or more recently in the past few days &#8211; and you are waiting for a reply, please know that I&#8217;m not able to answer all my emails at this stage, and I want you to know that it is nothing personal at all, it&#8217;s just that I am extraordinarily busy with my work at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>One of the questions that comes up alot in emails is how to become a stylist. Some of you may remember that I recently answered this question in large detail in an interview with Holly at <a href=\"http:\/\/decor8blog.com\/2009\/05\/06\/stylist-q-a-with-pia-jane-bijkerk\/\"target=\"_blank\">Decor8<\/a>, specifically for all those interested in trying a career as a stylist, <a href=\"http:\/\/decor8blog.com\/2009\/05\/06\/stylist-q-a-with-pia-jane-bijkerk\/\"target=\"_blank\">please click here <\/a> to read the full interview. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. <\/p>\n<p>xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i found this postcard amongst a glorious old postcard collection from smabs sputzer &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; In recent months I have received many many emails, every day.
