Moving is such a BIG job. The Store is finally open after a long 3 weeks. The house is a little 1908 cutie of a cottage. The inside is so cozy and I have been filling it with all the things that I love. I haven't got the outside painted yet ( waiting for the rain to stop), and the porch isn't finished, but it's all coming together. Now that I'm open, I will have some time to start posting pictures of the new place, If you haven't been in, I hope you can come down and see how sweet it really is. I look forward to seeing all of my customers. I miss you all!!
