In The Good Ole Summer Time

Hello friends.

I just recently realized I had not shown

you pics of the gift shop for

Summer Time.

Here are just a few. 

Unfortunately the small space is no longer

conducive to creating different vignettes.

Everything is just put out now on shelves.

I do miss having the actual store,

but I do like having my weekends back.

Not having a separate room for holiday displays

is also bringing me down.

I will no longer be able to bring alive a theme

for both Halloween and Christmas.

Am a bit disappointed in that as I so loved

putting together my yearly themes.

I thought with Bob adding in another fireplace

it would be alright, however I feel it just

does not have the vibe the actual store did.

Bob and I are going to decorate for Halloween

this week, but it wont be the same.

The ceiling is too high and the lights

 are not changeable.

Just hope our customers are understanding.

I know our worker is already sad about it.

Anyway life goes on.

In other news,

I an taking Wednesday thru Friday off

this week from work.

Am picking up my mom and her and I

will be doing the yearly antique trail

in our neck of the woods.

This is not as big as the I27 one,

but my mom and I have been doing this one

for years and years.

Hope to find some treasures.

More rain on tap for today, but not complaining.

I feel so bad for those in the path of

Hurricane Debby.

My SIL lost power down in Florida.

Thankfully her son brought her over a generator.

Same SIL that had the heart attack....

and she is supposed to not get stressed out.

Well off to work, then Vacay for a few days.

Summertime Blessings To All!
