Whew! This has been a long few days, but I think the shop is finally in order. My sweet daughter helped me so much yesterday and then my friend Bonnie came in and helped me finish up. We moved our cash counter and it opened the front of the shop up so much! The picture above has already changed - all the white is now in the window with white picket fence and dark pieces replaced the white in the shop.
The cash counter is in a much better spot now and MUCH more organized.
The front of the shop is filled with Easter goodies and lots of gardening mixed in. I even brought in my old fountain.
Just walk past our "greenhouse" into Zanie Janie's for a cup of coffee!
I love these big stars we got at the markets. I can think of so many ways to use them!
We got grubby lights, battery candles, lamps... All kinds of new "light" items.
It seems like our handmade cats always fly out the door.
The Americana is starting to march in. These two Uncle Sams are the best!
We brought back a barn lamp to go with the house lamp we already had and lots of textiles.
I had to get one of the sock mammy dolls for me too and I might keep one of the BIG handmade trees.
More crows are also flying in - with more to come.
These rusty lampshades are the best! They are actually made from the tin roofs of actual old barns that were torn down.
Lots of smalls are scattered throughout the shop.
I wish I could have shown you more pictures tonight, but my computer is acting up. You'll just have to come into the shop and see what we brought back from our buying trip.
I am exhausted and heading for bed. I'll try to get more on tomorrow when I have a little more energy. Sleep tight!
Until next time...
