Up and Running!

Well we are up and running! I have had an amazing response from the Stapleton Mom's and am encouraged to keep on selling! Just wanted to post some pics up of the store for those of you keeping up with the store from afar... much love to everyone who helped make all this happen! xo-Aly

Plumbing.....

So today I had my first real experience of owning my own store, a clogged toilet! I know pretty gross. After a quick run to the neighborhood Home Depot and three dollars and ninety-eight cents later, a plunger saved the day! Oh and my hubby, Jim. All I can say is thank god he was there!

We wired the stereo and speakers to the store and the acoustics are great in there. We also assessed the situation and brainstormed where everything will go. I am not sure if I have mentioned this before, but my husband is also opening his own business... at the same time! Yup you heard me right. He is starting a sheep dairy and creamery where they will be making their own sheep cheese. So it is safe to say that he is equally as busy as I am. The sheer fact that he came to the store to help today meant a lot to me. He was spouting off all kinds of great ideas while at the store and then when we got home he looked at me and said, "I think I am going to skip going to the farm tomorrow and help you at the store some more." Of course I smiled a huge teethy grin and thanked him with a million kisses. I think he sensed the chaos and knows how much I need him...

It is August 1st and the store opens in ten days. There is a lot that has to be done, but I have an awesome support group, so many good friends, and an incredible husband to help get the job done. I am confidant that it will all get done and will truly be a site to see...

CHAOS!!!!!!!!!

So here are a couple of pictures for those of you who are interested in watching the transformation from chaos to complete...

I absolutely love the color that the walls put off in the middle of the day with the natural light coming through!
