While Mom and Dad are in Chicago, I am in charge of the store! So I am extending our sale thru Thursday! Here are the NEW details… the store is 50% off all regular priced merchandise and 75% off the original price on the clearance merchandise… sounds the same right? Well here is the change… if you pay by cash or check your discount is 60% off regular priced merchandise and 75% off the original price on clearance merchandise. But shh… don’t tell Mom! This is my little secret.

we are down to the final seven days of our moving sale! and the discounts have increased! the store is now 50% off all regular priced items and 75% off all the original prices in the clearance section!

One of the best parts about moving back down to Main Street is the fact that we get to enjoy all of the wonderful festivals that the street has.  4th of July is just one of the many celebrations that South Main has in Frontier Park. 

Vendors set up in Frontier Park and sell food and snacks and all sorts of things. 

Even our dogs got in on the celebration this year!  (They had so much fun playing that they were EXHAUSTED by the time we got home!)

This is a picture of the AWESOME fireworks display that they put on.  They did it both Friday and Saturday night and it was beautiful!

I just wanted to remind everyone that we have paper racks, displays, and computer desks for sale at the shop.

If you had your phone number on the list for paper racks before, please call the shop and give us your name and phone number again. We are running into issues that we have wrong numbers for people.

thanks!

So here it is, Friday night and we are busily working again!  Kevin, his parents, me, and my Dad are all at the shop working diligently on the new design.  It is coming along beautifully!  We are a little behind schedule, but we are coming along…

This is a little bit messy, but the picture underneath is one of the new store and the new look… we have even redesigned the business cards to reflect these changes.

Kevin is happy with our progress…

These are just some snapshots that I have taken on and around South Main.  The street is one of the most beautiful places to stroll and of course to shop.    We love our new location and the beautiful views that we get to see everyday!

Here are some pictures to document our progress… this is what the store originally looked like before we took it over.  Definitely needed a little magic to make it look like “Make it Meaningful”.

The door pictured below connects us to Riverside Sweets.  They have the best chocolate EVER and when they are making chocolate the smell is absolutely HEAVENLY in our store!

This is the area that will soon hold all of our machines.  It is a complicated job to find an area that will hold all of the machines that we have and still look nice!  But this is definitely going to do the trick!

One of the really great things about this store is all the natural light and elements!  We have a FABULOUS wrap around porch that overlooks the gazebo on Main Street.  Plus we have tons of windows to enjoy the fabulous views!

It feels like a long time coming!  When really it has just been a few months since we made the big announcement that we were changing.  Things are coming along, never as fast as we would like, but they are coming along… the store has new floors and new paint and boy does it look great!  We are having a new ceiling put in so we really will look like a brand new store in just a couple weeks.   The pictures that you see are the pictures from when we first got into the building.

And as always, I am busy designing new things and formulating ideas so we can have all sorts of new things when we reopen.

Thanks, as always, for you patience while we reorganize and try to open the new location.  Things never progress quite as seemlessly as one might wish!
