Constantly Changing

I promised some pictures of the shop--the redo and look of fresh paint and carpet after the fire.  We are constantly changing displays but here is how some of it looked yesterday!  Over 5,000 square feet of needful things!  Take a look.....

This gives you an idea of our shop.  I have more pictures, I'll add later.  Check

 back and thanks for looking, 

Until next time,

A Bittersweet Memory of Mother's Day

It was a year ago that we were called to the shop in the early morning of Mother's Day.  Someone had broken in, robbed us and then set fire.  I hope you never get a call like that.  I'm posting some pictures of the inside of the shop to give you an idea of what smoldering smoke will do.  We are still cleaning up items----it's been overwhelming.  But we're down to 93 uhaul boxes!  We were closed all last summer and reopened October 3rd.  It's so great to be back--but the anger is still there.  Yes, it's time to move on---but until we are done spending our time cleaning up stuff instead of being creative, I can't seem to move on.  On the upside---the shop now looks fantastic, and business is good.  I'll show pictures of the "redo" in another post.  

Come see us this summer---we are ready for you!!

Until next time,
Pam

No Job Is Too Big!

Miss Haylee works at the shop on a lot of Sunday's.  No matter what we are doing she wants to help.  She grunts and groans and tries to move mountains.  What ever I have Gary doing, she is right there.  Some day, she can take over the shop for us!

She has her own office and yes the desk is full of junk.  She knows if anything is missing! She loves to help redo the Windows and I must say--her legs move better than mine!
Come see her work! Open every day--
Until next time,
Pam
