Our First Window Display


Yesterday, my friend Hillary and I started working on our first window display around 12:30 and did not finish until 7:00. We had a blast displaying our Good Earth Pottery. I cannot wait to start working on the rest of the store. We did take a lunch and milkshake break at the Dip. They make the BEST milkshakes. Erin came up after work and helped with the finishing touches. (She also brought me a much needed Diet Mountain Dew) After we were finished, we stepped outside and enjoyed the 4th of July parade. Let me tell you, this was the cutest thing! Kids from Hernando dressed up in Red, White, and Blue and rode their bikes around the square, babies were pulled in dressed up wagons, and soldiers marched around in between them. It was great! We are so excited to be here!



The window from outside. I am sorry for the bad lighting and glare, but I wanted you to be able to see the whole window!




Thank you Hillary and Erin!! Y'all were so sweet to help us get ready!!! We are excited to be able to carry Hillary and her friend Jennifer's line of stationery and invitations, Address to Impress. They are so cute!

Look at all of our bubble wrap!! :)

Carpenter Charlie




Charlie and I have been out of touch with just about everything unless it revolves around the store. We have been meeting with reps, ordering merchandise (which is my favorite part), taking care of "business things", and creating displays. That's right, Charlie has been building beautiful bookcases and refinishing old hutches, pie safes, tables, etc. We are trying to get everything ready for the big day...July 21 we hope to open, and then the huge event July 26 with good earth. We are so excited!! I want to show off my husband's carpenter skills. I am very proud :) He has made 2 of these - i just only have pictures of the first one. You can check these out in our window display July 4.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to my mom for giving us weeks of her summer break!! She has helped build, sand, spackle, paint, repaint, and distress our furniture. We could not have done this without her. She has also taught me several more good recipes...I am now up to about 7 that I can do. :) She also helped so much with the move! We would still be living out of boxes if it weren't for her!


Also, a huge thank you to the Smith's - ALL OF THEM. for helping us pack, move, unpack, rearrange, and store merchandise. I could not have done it without their strength :) and patience for all of our boxes of merchandise piled up throughout their house.

Charlie and I love you so much. Thank you!!!

PS-jack has thoroughly enjoyed having his Aunt Annie and Uncle Wally over to visit. He loves company!
