Inspiration

I've just been overwhelmed with my total lack of inspiration lately.  What I really need is to take a day and go antiqueing but it's so darn cold.  Yesterday was spent cleaning all the Christmas out of my space at Leola's so that at least looks better.  Wasn't expecting to be so busy and thought I'd just go open the shop and get a bunch of work done.  Lucky for everyone but me, it was crazy busy.  I didn't sell one thing of my own -- doesn't seem fair, does it!!!!

Since I have this case of writer's block, the idea came to me to show all the different women in Leola's.  Since Linda's is the first area as you walk in the front door, she'll be first.  I think Linda's style can best be described as traditional -- kind of Ralph Lauren influenced.  Our sister Jean also has a little space with Linda where she puts in some western things.  She's also done some soaps and lotions and a few food products.

We have a total of 13 ladies at Leola's and it will be fun to highlight them all.  It's so strange how none of us do the exact same thing.  We just don't step on each other's toes.  Everyone has their own niche.

Also, Happy New Year to everyone.  I have a good feeling about 2010.  Keep the faith.  Peace!

Beautiful little cabinet

Linda just brought this little cabinet in to Leola's and it is so cute. I can just see it filled with small collectibles for Halloween or decorated for Christmas. It's just a great piece & great to photograph. That's some of my dried lavender from my garden. Wish I could plant my whole back yard in it because it smells so good.
