Slowly but Surely.........

An out-of-hand office/sewing room takes shape. Everything has a place, fine tuning as we go.

Thanks to those who inspired Jen of Cottage Nest, Jill of Sew a Fine Seam & Darcy {my biz partner}, her house is always neat as a pin.

CL Fair 2008 Peek Inside our Tent

So much "behind the scenes" at this year's
CL fair and I will let Darcy elaborate.
I'm going to bed, zzzzzzzzz! {k}
{meanwhile}

Please check out these funny blogs

that have a great posting about the fair.
These are our new friends and we're
going to get together somewhere and
not work at all. Shopping and coffee
and lots of it.
Thanks for the memories, ice cream, and dinner!

Sad thing is we were either wet with sweat or rain {I'm not kidding either} and so tired during this venue we didn't get pictures of other booths and pics of our evening out. Thank goodness for Kasey and her fancy camera she took care of that. {Hey, Kasey can you send pics of all of us out for dinner and the ice cream photo!}

Taking a week off!

Springfield Flea Market

Ribbon

After a flurry of very busy last 3 weeks we are taking a week off from blogging. Sara cleaned the front of the store since things were moved out for the flea market {thank you, Sara}. The store is fresh and clean. Darcy & I will work out front this week getting things in place from the weekend. We need to ship things out tomorrow and focus on what's to come. We were able to brainstorm in our tent space this past Friday & Saturday on upcoming events and projects for the store. Also, we need to catch up at home with our cleaning and some outside work.
