It Happened So Quickly

Happy Sunday Evening

Sweet Friends

One day I was minding my own business

Serving time at jury duty

And the next thing I knew

I had signed a lease to open a space

At a local Antique/Gift Shop

WHAT??

Well, I had been thinking about it for several years

I had my name in (waiting list) at an Antique Mall

But I really hadn't prepared or gotten too excited

Because wait lists can be months long

And, quit frankly, I didn't think it would happen

Until, at least, after the first of the year

I got called to Jury Duty last Wednesday

After all of the panels had been seated

They didn't need me, so I was released for the day

I stopped by one of my favorite little shops

Just happened to talk to the owner

And, 15 minutes later, I had signed a lease

And told I could move in immediately

I had to go into overdrive to get something put together

I didn't have a shelving unit or anything

Found this wonderful gnome display at a yard sale Saturday

Didn't want the gnomes, just the shelf

They all came home with me

I guess they will be in my space in the spring :)

I had to cut one part of the unit off as it was a bit

Too long for my tiny space

I spent last night hand painting it

And this morning taking it to the space

And setting up just a few items

As you can guess

I have LOTS of work to do to fill up the space

And create some pieces for Christmas

But, it's a start to a MANY year dream

Actually, this is really the first thing I've dared dream about

Since losing My Mark almost 6 years ago

Happy Week Ahead

Blessings
