WOW....and Thank You!

The week was long and very physical.

All of the merchandise for the June 25 Le' Pre'miere

Had to be transported to the Shoppe and priced and staged.

The weather was extremely hot with the wind blowing making it seem 

That much hotter.

Because of the rain and threat of rain earlier in the week, there was

Nothing that could be done until Thursday and Friday,

Which just wasn't enough time to to everything right.

Still, I made the most of it knowing it "was what it was".

I have a philosophy that if

"You can't run with the big dogs,

Then you just need to stay on the porch...."

I wanted to hide under the porch.

I tell everyone I am a "one woman" show, but this is where

I have to share the fact that sometimes.....actually alot of the time,

I DO have help and support.

Can you see my lil'mama in the bottom left of this photo?

That is her bending over cleaning the dresser.....

Probably not the best picture to share with you, but

She is 85 years old.....and STILL wearing shorts and working at my pace.

She is absolutely remarkable...

    

 The picture above and below are of my very pregnant daughter.....

(It's a boy!!)

She is working away pricing everything on the back lot.

She is so wonderful....

She also ran the inside of the Shoppe on Saturday....

She is incredible with people and never stops smiling:)

 And I can't leave out my sweet man.

He has never not been there for me

and

Works harder than anyone I know.

We celebrated our43rd anniversary just last week.

 I had great plans of lots and lots of pictures to "wow" you with my endeavor.

It all started out great with camera in hand and me snapping away,

But that soon fell short as the people started

to come....

and  come,

and come.

So these are all I got. 

 Rachel and I were keeping up the pace outside 

When the back door flew open and I saw a panicked look on my daughter's face....

I ran inside to find about 30 people packed inside the Shoppe......

There was a sale going on there as well and it was pretty intense.

The whole day went like that,

And I was amazed......and very thankful.

I am thankful I have the wonderful family to "bail" me out when I take on too much,

And the incredible customers that just keep coming.....

I had told my lil'mama the night before I was ready to sell it all and stay home

Taking care of dogs and cats and 

Raising flowers......and kissing babies.

I start my sixth year in September....

I think I'll hang around to see what it brings.

I am thankful.....and I am blessed.

WOW, is all I can say.

Thanks for stopping by today,

You know I love it when you come.
