Back from Texas – Store Opening Countdown

Back from a wonderful Texas show – we put a large photo album on our Facebook page, you can see it if you are a fan of the page (and if you aren’t, please become one!)

Now we are in the countdown for the store to open. We had hoped for April 15, but it may be a bit later, but we will do our best to be ready as soon as we can – people keep coming to the door and want to see, we love it!

and the ambitious date

The landscaper will begin Saturday so it should all start looking nice outside too.

The basic layout is pretty much done but lots of finishing touches are needed, as well as lots of learning, since none of us have used the new software before. But those are all fun jobs. For the moment the biggest problem this week, during our first week of actual heat, was getting the air conditioning fixed! That was done today but not before we all experienced how sweltering those 134 feet of windows can be. We have curtains up now, but thankfully the air was fixed today. And of course the weather turned cool just in time for that. Ha!

We bought back half a truck load of cool items for the store, some really good furniture pieces and some large accessories. And several big shipments from Europe are arriving in the next day or so, it’s exciting!

Here are some pictures of the work in progress. One is slightly blurry – the heat was just so bad, it went to our heads!
