Let's Talk Vintage #82: And the beat goes on... Plus a Shop Update!

 

I am happy to say that "Let's Talk Vintage!"

continues! The Linky Tools guy is

pretty cool and great to work with.

 

So, now that we are back in business, let's

just stop for a second and remark about

how much fun it was to take part in Melissa's

Top 5 Yard Sale Things Blog Hop over

the weekend! We might even see many

of the posts in today's LTV, I know I'm

going to link up with mine.

 

 

So without further ado, I'm going to share

the latest excitement with the new shop,

Vintage & Co.

 

 

We are having a Grand Opening Celebration

this weekend! The pressure is on to finish

some lingering projects and to decorate,

prepare food, make gift baskets, etc.

 

 

We'll see how it all goes, we even bought

an ad in our local coupon magazine.

 

 

I think we did well in our first few weeks,

being next to a pizzeria really helps.

 

 

 I've enjoyed meeting new people, and of course,

people who love vintage, just like we do.

 

 

Our website is coming along nicely.

Not quite there yet but we're getting

there. My shop-mate, Kathy, has a hubby

who works with web building so it

is not an extra expense. All these

things come into play when starting out.

 

 

Another issue lately is time.

I have much less time than I did before!

So, I have watermarked

all of my photos with Vintage & Co.

so that I'll have ready to use

photos for the new web page.

 I'm learning to take short-cuts

when I can. It is all a learning curve!

 

 

It has been a lot more stressful than I

thought it would be, but the results

have been amazing. I do give the glory

to God for everything. He knows the

desires of my heart. I look at how we

got here and see so many wonderful

things from the location to the

customers... real blessings!

 

Thank you so much for your

support, the blog community is

so encouraging!
