Store Pictures







OOPs these diddn't upload with the last post for some reason.

More in Store!

Well, I suppose it's part store part gallery, but so far we are off to a good start. OUr Grand Opening is September 12th. We have New incense, New Soaps and body care products, New Candles, and of course lots of great art, Jewelry, and TIE DYE! See Pics of how the store is coming along! I am encouraged by all the positive comments people have been making when seeing our store for the first time! I am extremely optomistic at this point. David is learning to be a shop guy. It's cute and a little annoying at the same time. I love him, but yes David the Lights do need to be turned on inside the store when we are open! LOL

I'm Opening A Store!


I Love it when a plan comes togeather. This photo is a sneak preview of the store I am opening at 196 Miracle Strip Pkwy Behind Tattoo Zoo, and Next to Fokkers Pizza.
The store needed a lot of work and Dave, the Kids and I have been working hard to get it clean and presentable.
Our 'soft' opening is Friday the 21st. Just in Time for Art Walk. We will be hosting a local artist along with other merchants down town and serving refreshments. Yea!
The store features the art of 3 generations. David's Mom, David, and I, and our children. Its a team effort but Offically the store is mine. I will have my tie dyes, and my fabulous polymer clay jewelry, we will have an assortment of incense, candles and soap, and Of course David's great paintings and furniture. WE are all so excited we can hardly wait. Such good fortune! Just plain ol' Good Karma I guess. We have Piper Gaffrey to thank for getting us motivated. Thanks Piper!
I know Dave and I belong Down Town, and I am excited about all the cool things that are happening there. coincidentally, the store I am renting is the SAME property that housed Mother Earths, my VERY first Job in Fort Walton beach c. 1984! Hows that for poetic justice?

BATIKS!

I am batiking again! These are pillows for my friend Lisa in Venice Fl. I am hand delivering them this weekend. Lisa and I have been friends since the 10th grade. We are family, she is like a sister to me. The godmother of my kids, and she doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
If it werent for Lisa, I wouldnt have gone into nursing. She helped me to see when I was growing up that my problems were small in comarison to what a lot of other people were suffering. Sadly, Lisa has been suffering with cancer. She is fighting a tough battle, but I am certain she will win.
