Our Grand Opening:-)

What an amazing day - the day you all got to see the store we worked so hard on... A HUGE thank you to all of you who came out on Saturday!!! What a fun day and my heart was sooo full with joy and love for all of you and it was just awesome to see how excited you all were to see the store:-)  I think it was a mixture of that love and pure exhaustion that had me close to tears many times throughout the day...  But I truly feel that is beautiful place is for all of you - so many of you come to the shop to relax and chat and get your creative juices flowing - this space is meant to do just that for you!  Enjoy:-)

Here are some pics of some of the action, and of our Beautiful new store!
