Holiday Open House

We had our Holiday Open House on Thursday November 13th and it was great fun and a huge success. The night before Molly and I were running around like two little elves until 10:00 pm, and back again the next morning getting the store just the way we wanted it to look. And I could not have done it without Molly, she did a FABULOUS job moving and decorating the whole store, so a big huge THANK YOU to her for all her hard work!!!! I think everyone who came had a great time, and it was suggested that we do it again in another couple of weeks...HOLD ON GUYS!! I am worn out from the last one! But we are going to get together to just eat and enjoy each others company after Thanksgiving...so I will post that date as soon as we know. Here are a few pictures of the store that night....If you didn't get a chance to come in please stop in soon.

I did not get many pictures of everyone that night , but I am glad we have this one of Teena Compeau, she did a great job with bringing in tons of food , handmade aprons, and a beautiful pocketbook that we gave as a door prize...THANK YOU for all that you do for us!!!!!!!And a special thanks to Jayne Cline who also brought a ton of food and "WASSAILL", you are the best !!! And of course a Thank You to Keith Lenderman who made my favorite brownies that I always try to tell people that they are no good, so I can have them all, YUMMY as always.

Thank you to EVERYONE...a good time was had by all, and I appreciate my friends and my customers.

My Sweet Son

I went to Columbia, South Carolina to watch my "sweet son" play his last soccer game...I think the parents were more into the game than the kids, but all had a good time. When I asked Kyle if he was going to play next year his response was " maybe I will play tennis instead" . I am glad he participated and made new friends, isn't that what it is all about anyway!!!?

Busy Sewing

I love these pillows !!!!One of my customers, Jennifer Gambill found this great fabric and asked me make some pillows for her daughters room. It is so much fun to make things out of happy fabric and I really enjoyed making these for her. I can't wait to see them in the room she is doing. Please bring pictures in Jennifer so we can share them....

It is that time of year again, and I am so happy for the opportunity to still be here for the Fall and Christmas season, the last few months have been a struggle with the economy and it has been a little touch and go, so a big THANK YOU to all my customers who have continued to support the store and who turned out for the Fall Open House!!!!
