The season has started....

It all starts again.... We had a great opening night and the shop looked amazing. We have such a creative, hard-working bunch of women who killed themselves to totally transition the shop. The front was all twinkly & sparkly.








Judy's 15 year old g'daughter, Jordan, played beautiful Christmas music on her cello.



Here's Katie http://ragamuffingal.blogspot.com/ and Dulcy http://dulcysdoorstep.blogspot.com/ checking things out. They're always there to support us. They're good customers but best of all they're really good friends.



Two more good friends that came in for a visit were Debra http://commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com/ and Mandy from http://wishonawhisker.blogspot.com/.





Pam has several new shirt and jacket designs and the cutest hats. I bought an arrangement to hang that she put together with fresh greens and put a red & black wool hat in the middle. It is so cute & going beside my front door. She makes the cutest bows out of old ties and vintage jewelry. She puts a pin on the back so you wear it like jewelry. She's so talented.






Tomorrow is my work day. Should be busy. It's suppose to be sunny and 72 degrees. Hope we have a busy day. The blog give-away is still open so come on in & sign up. I'll draw the winner on Mon.

Hey Jan!
Your Open House looks Amazing...You are such a Creative Spirit...I wish I could have seen it in person... Post lots of pics... I am working on mine now... I can just see a 'glimps', of it 'coming around'... It was very warm here today, like in the mid 70's... I thought I was going to 'cook', working in the greenhouse!
I want a full report, on how the weekend went!

Hi Jan
Just popping over to say thanks for visiting me and your lovely comments.

Well your shop looks fantastic. I'm always fascinated at the wonderful antiques in the USA and just might have to come over for a visit.. although not sure how I would get it all home.. haha

I imagine you are going to get very busy now with Christmas on it's way.

Take care and I will see you again soon.. Julie

So nice to meet you!
