More Pictures from Amy Butler event

Another posting about this fun day of inspiration. We had a ball! Customers stayed awhile & got to know one another. We hope to have another event with Amy & watch for more fabric coming in.

Check out our store as we have new stock & it's full for summer. Dash & Albert rugs are in, they are 2x3 and are all "stripey" in fresh fun colors.

This week brings alot of "going ons" Darcy & I will shopping for found objects. Working on Trophy Co. & sewing a Nappy bag for Jeni Britton. Plus, we'll keep you posted on 2 photo shoots
@ the store.

Best,
Kara & Darcy

Darcy & Kara have been tagged!

We were up till midnight creating visual drama in our store for our Amy Butler event!
I will have 7 little known facts about us up soon. Abby from The Blissful Home in Canton Ohio tagged us!

(7 little known facts about Kara & Darcy)

1. Darcy & Kara were both homecoming queens, K did not have a date for the dance though!

2. Darcy is always prompt & I'm always late.

3. Darcy has a Grandma "Gravy" as she feeds her dogs & cats gravy bread every morning.

4. We both have relatives in Kansas, Kara's are in Sawyer and Darcy's in Quinter.

5. We are both Old German Baptists (what's that?) We are Christians, but in our denomination we wear white prayer coverings.

6. We sometimes have ideas @ the very same time, especially when we are merchandising our store. During the Amy Butler event we ended up wrapping a gifts for a customer with the same combo of matching pink tissue and orange ribbon @ the same time. Weird! This happens alot!

7. We both had previous stores: Kara's in Turlock, CA, Paris Flea Market & Darcy's @ her home, The Clay Pot. Kara met Darcy @ her shop in CA and when Kara moved back to Ohio in 2002, the goal was to open a storefront together.

Dear Friends,

I hope to have pics up tommorow and show you our labors. The Amy Butler event card will be posted, so everyone will know the dates and what is going on during that event.

We will show you our creative spirit at our homes as well. We've been working hard outside and want to share pics on that as well.
