THANK YOU SUNDAY MORNING SHOP GIRLS

 

 

 

Instead of calling, I wanted to let everyone know what great shop girls I have working on Sunday mornings.  Sue Z., Jeanine and Robin aka Twisted Vintage.  They bought me this fabulous birthday cake for today, and waited for me to come to the shop this afternoon to celebrate.  I told the girls that I would be there for 1:30.  Well, unfortunately, I never made it to the shop on time.  I was in my storage unit painting.  When I finally got on the road, I looked at my watch, and it was already 1:45.  I missed seeing the girls, but they left me the best cake ever.  I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.  They are all kind, hard working and I love having them at the shop.



Oh the possibilities.....................

The shop was closed today, due to some nasty weather.  So, I thought I would take some pictures of my Jake and my winter garden.

 

 

Isn't she beautiful? 

 

 



 

 

Jake loves to be out in the snow.

 

I've been hunting and buying up a storm, getting ready for the "At Home with White" Show on April 6 & 7.  Ray is my painter, and he has been painting every day in our new storage unit.   I had a storage unit in the old Whiting and Davis factory in Plainville.  But, recently I moved into another area in the same building.  I'm very excited about this new space.  This space was, just until recently,  the showroom for Stephen Staples, the wonderful and creative wood worker extrodinaire.  Staples showroom is now in Wrentham on South Street, not too far from my shop.  Funny how things turn out.  This storage space has endless possibilities, let's just say, maybe for a future second shop??

 

 

 

 

New Beginnings for 2013

Working two jobs, doesn't give me time to do the things I want to do in my house.  One day at the shop, a customer was telling me that she was an interior designer.  She turned out to be Kathy Skogseth, from Inspirational Home Design out of Walpole.  Kathy and her partner, Erin Buckman do it all.  I needed wall paper removed, walls painted, wood floors re-done, basically the works, in the living and the office/work space.  I can tell you, they went above and beyond.  They really got me, and what I was all about.   I would go off to work in the morning and come home to find the most amazing work done.  I had alot of furniture and accessories for them to work with, but they would go into my shed or the loft in the garage and find things I didn't even know I had. 

They came over one night and we talked about what I was looking for.  A few weeks later, they came back with a plan.  I can't say enough about Erin and Kathy.  They are life changing designers.  They even got everything done before the holidays, which was so special to me.    

I'll be showing more pictures during the next few weeks of the wonderful work that they did.  But, I wanted to start the new year off by telling you what fantastic designers Kathy and Erin are. They gave me the best presents of all, new rooms, a new look, and a new start for the year.
