by JoAnnI continue to clean out and sort. What is making this so challanging is that Rick is busy refinishing floors and restoring plaster walls in what was the shop and will be our new living and dining rooms. That means all the shop inventory has to go somewhere because the rooms upstairs that will be [...]

by JoAnnWow! Talk about overwhelming! The Red Lion St. Fair was a roaring success. The shop was packed and the tent I had set up ouside also did a brisk business. So many friends and loyal cutomers showed up to wish me luck with the change to internet sales only.
