I. am. so. glad. its. done. Whew! We did it....we moved the shop and were completely ready to open in one night and one morning. And then I proceeded to spend the next five (yes, five...not one, like i thought)princing and setting up Christmas! And finially, when I left tonight, it was done. Do I hear applause? Actually I was rewarded with many oohs and awes from all of our wonderful customers.
(Thanks guys! love you!)
And now, I sit here in my fuzzy sippers with the holes in them ( yes, I am one sexy girl), and my readers (because, yes, it has finially become just too hard without them) looking forward to my day off tomorrow. I get to grocery shop and catch up on laundry; which, while normally a drudgery, is a nice change from being buried in price tags, sparkle, and boxes galore. I so look forward to our downtown open house and tree lighting this Friday night....what fun we will have! Please stop by and say hello and check out the new space! Merry, Merry, Merry

Since Im headed "home" for a few days, I wanted to wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. This is a time for me that is so rich in blessing....things change over the years...people marry and grow up, grands are born and add to the joy, parents go home to the Lord, people move.....but one thing remains true and consistant....when you travel that road back home, you can't escape the deep seated feelings of gratitude for all you've been given, for the life you have known, and the lessons it has taught you. There is no greater blessing than to sit in the company of those who have walked that path with you.... a place where you are known, and loved. Always.

May each of you be tremendously blessed this week as you reflect upon your life, and its gifts. And if you happen to be without anyone to share it with, enjoy the solitude of being with the One who gave it all.  Happy Thanksgiving

Its underway! It's exciting!

WooHoo! We are just a few days away from getting the keys to our new, much larger space in the wonderful Tannery Building where we now reside!

The new space will offer us over TWICE our current floorspace and the added benefit of a gorgeous view of the Benicia Bay and the Carquinez Bridge !I couldn't have dreamed up a better location and am so excited to get in and work my magic on the walls! True to my routine M.O., I am putting up faux brick on the first wall you see when you enter and other walls will be a dark pewter grey (very restoration hardwarish) and I will leave some highlights of butter yellow around the room as well.

Then, off we go....moving in all the treasures ive been hording just for this for the past few weeks, followed by whatever is in the current shop at the time!On top of it all, it will be time to decorate for Christmas! Could I have picked a more difficult time? But what fun!!!! A decorators dream.

The new shop will allow me space to create more of a home feel...bedroom, living room, dining room...oh, I can't wait!

So, if you are in Benicia or heading there soon, be sure to stop in to see the new space! We are committed to be fully finished and operating there for the November 30th town tree lighting and open house, which is always the best night! however, you may find us there up to a week before.

So, if you wander in to our current space at 131-C First St and don't find us there, just keep walking to the back of the hall and zig sag on back to the wonderous water view, and there you will find my NEST. : )
