New Season, New Beginning

I can't think of a better way to start my summer than having the first official day of business at my store! Tomorrow morning at 10:00 am we will be properly open for business!

If you or someone you know is interested, we have a couple spaces open. Come by and check them out!

Happy Summer! Hope to see you soon :)

It's Official!

It's official! We passed zoning last night and are ready to move forward with setting up and opening.
On top of the excited and stress of opening a business, having the location rezoned and dealing with government officials, the weather here was a bit harsh. Of course, I had to go check to be sure there was no damage at my little white house.

As I woke this morning to the realization that I really am a business owner, the very next thought that came to mind was, "My first official act as a business owner was to run out IN THE STORM to check on my building" It really is real, not a dream!!

Dealers, like myself, have been busy preparing everything from jewelry to repurposed furniture. Now it is time to move in! I can't wait to see what they have in store for our customers :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!

This passage helped me through last night as I stood to speak to the zoning board and those who opposed my business plan:

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Thank you God for holding my hand and my heart. I stood the test and am wearing my crown!

D-Day... Sort of

This has been a great weekend!
I refinished this dressing table from the 1930's. I was very worried how it would look but am really happy with it :)
 This piece has been loved by the same family for about 80 years! Kids and all, lol.
 There was even something resembling a melted purple candle on the top. I scrubbed and scraped for about an hour to remove all of it.

The mirror has a white film/discoloration on it that I can't seem to get off. Trying a couple more ideas tomorrow. Will post pics if it works....
Tomorrow evening is the zoning hearing for our new store. Everyone please cross your fingers and say a prayer the powers that be in Hoover find favor with us :)  We have worked hard and are ready to be open!
