{happy birthday OSR + a thank you!}
Posted on November 1, 2011
it’s hard to believe that ONE whole year has gone by since i opened one sydney road!!! wowza…what a year it’s been. so many lessons learned (some the hard way!) and so many things to celebrate – including the one thing that has kept me going …YOU!
from the bottom of my heart, i want to say thanks for cheering me on, supporting me and being such wonderful friends, customers, readers!! thanks too for helping me spread the word about OSR this past year and sharing with your friends & readers!! i feel grateful that i get this chance to go after my dream and i’m excited to share with you all what i have in store for the next year!! hope you’ll all continue along this adventure with me 
so as my thank you…enjoy the next 60 days…60 days of wanderlust, that is!! check out all the fanfare over at the store site and make sure to get your passport – it’s your entry to the giveaway, gives you a beautiful postcard to print out, PLUS there are free gifts involved!! the lovely janie from we heart paper designed the passport – it’s amazing!!
i thought it would be fun to look back and share with you the very first orders i got! both orders came from friends i met via blogging and they made getting that first order a thriller – the joke was to see who would actually get in the first order!
by a nosehair, suze from daily suze snuck in, nabbing 1st place. sandy from sandyalamode was right behind! (although, if it weren’t for a little first day glitch, she might have grabbed 1st!) a big hug to EVERYONE!

Happy Birthday OSR!
You know I still use and love my purchases, they were among the very first objects to enter our new home, so I particularly love them, 1 year later…
A big hug!

Congrats Piper! I’ve loved watching the journey! P.S. I google searched for you today using ‘one sydney lane’…so close! Found you eventually, but might be worth looking into for SEO.
So still loving the shop owner life?! Are you doing it full time now?
November 11th, 2011 @ 7:49 am
Thanks Jonna, you’re too sweet!! (and i was laughing at you looking for Lane
you’re right – need to do some SEO on that!!
It has been a crazy & amazing year – ups & downs, smiles & tears – you name it! but i really wouldn’t change being my own boss for anything – i am full time doing this right now so fingers crossed i can keep this up!
