gone to the beach...

The "chicks" have been working very hard -- now its off to the beach!!

I'll have lots to tell you when we return.

Maybe we'll send you a postcard saying "wish you were here"

2 more days...

Okay, its 12:45 a.m. so it is officially tomorrow -- I just had to say only 2 MORE DAYS!!

I'm officially calling it a day, I mean night!

outside looking in...

Here are some photos of the outside of our new location -- and our window displays.

work, work, work...

We have been working like crazy to get things done before we leave for our vacation -- I think we are finally getting things under control. Here are some pictures of the work we have been doing.

from all 5...

I had to do a separate post for this sterling stuffing spoon -- isn't it great!

It says "from all 5" I think this makes it extra special.

i see red...

Here are the new red pieces that just came in...my favorite is the dry sink.

new things from auction...

Here are some pictures of the new things from auction...some didn't even make it to the door! Why you ask -- well the items sold before we could even bring them in!! Here are pictures of those things that did.

open...

The shop has been quite busy, I'm glad that our regulars have stopped by to see our new place! We have also had lots of new customers and we look forward to their return.

the vacation countdown...

Can you believe it -- the "chicks" are going on vacation!!!

I must say that this vacation is well deserved -- and long overdue!

3 more days!!

may we help you please...

We are ready for business!

the boys -- and abby...

Linda sent me this picture today (she is getting quite good with this new phone), her house seems to be the neighborhood hang-out.

Just look at all those boys!! and Abby of course!!!

and one of Linda's favorite finds...

This was one of Linda's favorite finds...

I had to do this one by itself. You can find this in the window at our new shop!!

some new things from auction...

Here are a few of things Linda found at auction last week.

Here is a close-up of the silver ladles that Linda got at auction last week...if you remember my previous post, that picture was sent by Linda on her new cell phone!

a little birdie told me...

A little birdie told me...I'm sick of unpacking all these boxes. Stop by and see us so we can take a break!!! We would love to see you.

new pics...

auction...

Linda finally got a new cell phone :) You would really know how exciting this is if you actually saw her old one (it was missing numbers and everything!!).

Anyhow, she also is able to take pictures with this new phone and sent me this one from the auction today (I was even more excited!!). Here is the message I got:

"We got them"

"them" refers to the silver ladles she is holding -- and I thought this picture was so cute that I just had to share with you. Of course there is lots more new stuff on the truck and I suppose we will be unloading it tomorrow (and by the way, I can't tell you how glad I will be when this move is over). The thoughts of unloading another truck is not very exciting.

how to set a proper table...

Doesn't this table look great! Gotta have it!

so pretty...

Just had to share this picture -- aren't they just beautiful! These were picked fresh by Linda.

new shop is looking good...

The new shop is looking really good -- if you haven't already stopped by we would love to see you!

There is still lots to do, but it is really coming together!!
