Half of the store is completed.

Almost ready to open. Still working on the bath and body side, but the bedding side is complete. Dont the sheets looks awesome on the displays The Hubs built....

Up top on the left are handcrafted cowhide pillows, on the right are maple bowls.

The Hubs also made from scratch a faux bed to display the sheets so they can be felt, and I think he did a fabulous job on it!!

Here is our newest member to the shop....the "goggles" threw us for a second, but great packaging idea really. And well what can be better than a good friend to help you put together your mannequin and have a good time with ya while they do it. :) Love ya my masked helper!!!

New Cards for the Shop...

Oldest daughter and I went to card class last night, and we made some really nice cards for the new shop....

Cathy made this beautiful Easter card that we think we will duplicate for Mothers day as well.


Cathy also made this Bliss card...this Bliss set is so classy and no matter how you use it the cards always look great!

I made this "Just for You" card...I love the color combinations.

I also made this Springtime Smiles card...I keep thinking I do not want to buy this stamp set, but this lil girl is so adorable I think I can no longer resist.

We both made Easter Basket cards...I love the polka dot texture in the background, and how cute is this lil chickee?!

We also both made this Southern Belle...which turned out to be our fave for the night...how gorgeous is she!!

I think we will have a great starting selction to fill our card rack!

New Chairs for the Shop!

We were on a hunt this past weekend for a chair or two for the store. A sort of "husband" chair. a place the bored hubbys can sit while their wives shop.

We went to our local antique store and found these beauties sitting outside the front door like they were waiting for us. We walked the entire shop and as we went to leave to think about the chairs for a possible later purchase....we were told those chairs were being marked down to $10....SOLD!!

Looks like the kitties have claimed them...good thing I havent scrubbed them down yet. So no worries...the seat cushions are actually vinyl so they will wash up beautifully for the shop.

Pumping up Production!

We have pumped up production for the opening of the new store. Why so much you ask? Well on one hand thinking positive on needing enough stock, then...if I am making a batch... a big batch is just as easy as a small batch. Lastly...this frees me up to be able to work my own store. I have a full time job which I love and want to keep, so weekends are where I make my goodies. Working through March making enough stock will let me be able to work my store when we open in April. Yes I am crazy, but I love it!

The Beginning!!

If you havent already heard....Luster Canyon is going B&M. (Brick & Mortar)

We are planning for an April 1 open...so there is a LOT to get done!!

First up is painting....of course we want to keep our signature colors, so the existing colors must go...Here are the existing colors and to give you a sneak peek at the space...

And so we begin.....
