Christmas Eve

What a wonderful sparkly day. It rained all night and now we have some sun. It is cold and sparkly. I just talked to my dear friend Judy. I used to work for her and many of my most outrageously fun adventures have been with her (of course I will elaborate another day). I am going to Atlanta for the Gift and Home decor show and I am going to take her with me. We have so much to catch up on. I love my friends and I love Christmas because it is at this time of year that we have the courage to call people we haven't talked to for awhile because its Christmas, we tell people we love them more often because it's Christmas, we are nicer to each other because it's Christmas, everything seems so much more special now because it's Christmas. I finally understand what people mean when they respond with "Everyday is Christmas"

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, as for me I already am having a wonderful time.

Just a couple days left

Well the Christmas rush is winding down and I still haven't found a place for my store I filled up a van load of fixtures today to try to get things moving. I looked at two more spaces today but so far nothing is really looking very good. Some people from Corvallis came in to see if I would be interested in moving there but that so defeats my dream of being able to live and work in the same neighborhood. I hope God lets me know what the heck I'm supposed to be doing soon.

The construction crew has been out front of the shop all day glaring at me because they want to start tearing apart my beautiful dream I just feel like a dying carcass with buzzards flying overhead. I will however keep trying with as much dignity and grace as I can muster. I do dislike rude developers. Great just when I'm ready to be ugly to everybody some very nice archetect comes in and not only tells me what a great shop I have but buys a very expensive item. God's funny that way, so for today again, Thank God!

It's Almost Christmas

Well I'm trying as hard as I can to be happy but my darling little store is closing Christmas. Some "Creep" came along and bought my building and now I have to move out. I used to think I had the cutest store ever but I have been reading some of the blogs on blogspot and I have to say I am not the only talent out there. You women are amazing with your darling shops. I found one yesterday in Oklahoma owned by a Mother Daughter team with stars on the floor just adorable. Then there is Karla with the beautiful grandbaby "Sugarwings" I want a grandaughter to call sugarwings too.

So I have to admit I have never kept a diary before nor have I ever spent time writing my thoughts on paper or PC but my Great Grandmother always said I should be a writer so here goes.

I''m listening to my favorite french Christmas CD (its been playing in the store most of the season) its Cest Noel and Tino Rossi is singing White Christmas in French Ahhhh Cest Bon!

Eugenie Juilette Farmezell or Franezelle (we aren't completely clear) was born in Paris she was raised in a convent, her mother died in chilbirth, and she came to this country through Canada to Butte Montana she met John Coughlin and they married had two kids and moved to Burbank. It is that bit of Paris that my shop is dedicated to.

Thats about all I know,

she was a great gram.

As I said earlier I am not a blogger yet so if you would like to kibbitz feel free. I am just testing this thing out. I tried to add some photos of the store so you could try to see the little shop. Its just 370 sq ft of sweetness. One of my favorite customers just came in with some chocolates from Paris "La Maison Du Chocolat" and she gave me the nicest compliment, she said my store was very much like the little shops in Paris. I'm glad I did the store the way I did with the black walls and crammed with a little bit of everything fabulous. Ok so I added photos and I tried to say a few things and of course I appreciate you letting me be part of the blogspot. Merry Christmas.
