A huge sigh of relief!

It has been a whole week since my last post. You can tell that things are starting to get very busy around the new place. We are all working hard every afternoon to get the store ready by May. One of the big issues has been the floor. I think there were around 531 different floorings in that place at some point! Stephen and Dad have spent many LONG hours scraping, peeling, scrubbing and anything else that it took to get it all up. Thankfully last night a great friend offered some advice and we almost have shiny concrete! I am so happy. I really did not want to change my plans and have to choose another flooring option. I prefer painted or stained concrete when people will be in and out all day. It is much easier to clean and a little better for the decor than say - the hunter green nasty carpet that was in it a few weeks ago. As Dad would say, "I love it when a plan comes together." Now I can stop worrying about the floors and get to refinishing all of our cool furniture.

Everyday something new is purchased and orders are placed. It's right around the corner! I love all of the people that are rubber necking as they drive down First or Jackson street. The best to date was the man in his Suburban that just pulled right in the parking lot and slowly drove by the door that we had open. When I say that he drove right by the door I mean - right by the door! 2 feet away at best . . . I guess he saw what he needed to see and continued his circle out of the parking lot. Love it!
