I spent the past few days emptying out my local shop, repurposing the shelving and leftover furniture and distributing the remaining merchandise to a few vendors I know. It was a lot of creative work but a worthwhile experience, I made new business friends and learned so much during the year I had a shop.
All three of my children are at our house today having Easter dinner, and my parents and brother and his kids are here too. We?re making a big feast and thankfully enjoying sunny skies. I leave for Florida on Monday and will be there for a few weeks working on little projects around our house there. The patio will be getting a few updates and I?m starting a bedroom makeover too. I have some friends coming to visit for a few days so we will take the ferry to Key West and enjoy some fun in that special part of the world. Favorite links from the week:
