Is it here yet...

Hell no, it's freezing out there!!!
I went out in the studio today to stage the new cupboard I redesigned...
love it...
This was one of those cheapies you get from Good Will,
I painted it white, then applied vintage wallpaper to the back
and shelf...sweet huh!

Doesn't the wallpaper just make the setting pop...
I'm slowly getting candles and soaps ready for my opening the
first nice day in April. Got lots of redoing to do once it's warm enough.
But inventory is coming out of my house, piles that
have accumulated over winter...

I won't have a huge amount of candles, just herbal and floral scents
that will go with my theme WILD THING...
lots of bird houses and gardeny stuff, however,
I will have lots of soaps.
I will have some greeting cards for gift ideas and will do gift baskets too.

I have another shelf that will get vintage kitchen wallpaper,
it will be staged on the other side of the shop,
perfect for those fun kitchen thangs some of us actually use.
My little shop is near Fruitland, 3 miles from the city, many of those people,
like me, don't want to drive all the way into town for a gift...
so this will be perfect for them too!

This is about down-sizing for me, I've worked hard for many years
in the city...and I'm over it!
I want to stay home, for the most part...
watch my chickens peckin' around, play catch with Scratchy
and work out in the gardens... and make soap!
Sun-up to sun-down, this is how I roll...
no more taking care of everyone else's stuff,
it's about ME now and I want to relax and breathe free!
You can live this way, but you have to sacrifice and
after a while you forget how important you thought those things were!

My Etsy store will be located here too,
easy for me to keep track of what sells without having to call around.
So I'll be cranking out body parts and bubble-stuffs
to my heart's content in my sweat shop...
just wait till you see!

COME ON SPRING!!!
