It is light that I seek...

And it is light that I got, thanks to my bestest buds
Theresa and Craigsmith...
I love it and I played in the shop all day...

Theresa also helped me move my heavy statue from the
back gardens to what will be the new gardens
at the entrance to the shop. She needs a little repair work,
but she's a beauty as is too!

Rearranging again, after taking loads of goodies to Sisters'
for her open house, then come Spring,
my shop will officially open and the fun will begin...

Sweet Annie will fill the fields behind the shop
and intrepid shoppers will be able to harvest at will.
I hope to get rows of lavender planted too for pick your own
lavender bouquets...mmmm...
can you smell it...

Another project in the works,
two end tables with drawers...hmmmm...
what shall I do???

From the beginning...

Completed and ready to move...

John's Sheds, where my dream will be completed...

My doors and windows awaiting construction...

Delivered... and the first coats of primer to seal my deal...

Totally painted white on the inside, with the floors a battleship gray...

The view from my kitchen window...ahhh...!

My work space, slowly being filled with the tools of my craft
and space configured for retail and studio still in the works...

Playing with window box designs...

Love this old door, she and I have history, she was the front door
to the first house I ever bought by myself...
the old house was torn down, as were all the homes on the block
for progress...sad...

Soaps that will be displayed in the Spring in the shop...

Every shop must have antlers...right!

and sunlit vignettes...

The completion of the arbor, which in the spring will harbor birdhouse gourds
like green drapery blowing in the breeze...

Interior magic...

Trellis and yard art toward the end of a season...

The blue skies of Autumn declare an end to my fantasy...
but perhaps Indian Summer will linger on...
