I hope things are OK. I have been a loyal customer for years and have many beautiful items from your booth and others. That day I did buy a few pieces of handmade jewelry but left feeling a little sad that the stores heartbeat seems to be on life support.

...Congrats, that's awesome! And it looks great!<br /><br />Sorry about the loss of yoru husband's job. I was victim of a mass layoff a few years ago. I worked at the corporate office of a major U.S. retailer for almost 9 years. Myself, along with hundreds of other people, were just thrown away like trash. It's very unsettling, especially when you are so loyal. But better things always seem to come around, even if they aren't in "our" time, you know? :)the undomesticated wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481758248542152030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088549857183869774.post-56564953430625910992013-02-01T11:27:04.465-08:002013-02-01T11:27:04.465-08:00I am in AWE of how gorgeous your shop is....let al...I am in AWE of how gorgeous your shop is....let alone your stunning things!

Every January (to get out of the cold and gloom) we spend a few weeks in sunnier CA. We like to park our trailer on the Rincon Pkwy just north of Ventura for at least a few days and the first thing I do is head for American Home and Garden! I was there a couple of weeks ago! I adore that store! The ladies that work there are so friendly and helpful and the merchandise is fabulous! Your space looks even better in person. So glad to "know" someone that has a space there. We'll be back next year for sure.

Often times, I have thought, how would The Old Painted Cottage stage this space? ;) I just love your style, and I am not one bit surprised that you took that step forward towards a full time space! It looks exactly how I imagined you would do it. So sophisticated, full of unique goodies. I hope that when I am down south again, I can pop in and see it in person. Thanks for being so inspiring!!

It makes me want to hop on a plane for Chicago and come in there for visit. I am sure you are going to become a favorite booth to visit when the locals come in there.
