And, usually, baby hughes is the life of the party. On any given day, someone will walk in the shoppe and they are *enthusiastically* greeted by baby hughes. Normally, he will hand you a card, shake your hand, and ask your name. This kid... I think he is going to be a politician. He introduces himself giving his full name veryfast. He is charming (most of the time *wink*) He has been known to kiss and hug you goodbye and run after you and tell you to be careful. He is a handful. God must have known not to give me a boring child that would get overlooked by a mommy like me (slightly absentminded, busy, and constantly planning.) We are so blessed with this little man. He keeps me on my toes and laughing.
He is why I started this crazy business! I mean, don't get me wrong... I love it.... but one of the biggest benefits is being with him. I can get over the no paid vacations and paying for my own health care since I get to spend my time with this little guy *smiles*
Now for the shoppe talk: I have changed the shoppe several times in the past couple of weeks.
I added some garden-y type stuff to Spring it up! I am yearning for Spring!!
I added a bit, just a bit of Valentine's and red. Can I tell you... I am NOT a red person. I have very little red in our home and I don't have much at the shoppe. I do love vintage valentines and decorations, but I am itching to take this down already. It just doesn't floooowwww. And, I guess that is sort of the point of red, to stick out.
Okay, Flying Fairy School is just about over, so it is about time to get to work. I will try to not be such a stranger!
bye for now!

ReplyDeleteMichelle, how blessed you are with that little shoppe keeper ! I wish I were within driving distance. I'd come to your place just to meet him ! I have a friend in Australia with a son who's just like that...she calls it "cheeky!" :-)

I am so excited to have found your blog and found out about your shoppe! I live in Nashville and haven't been able to find any great vintage stores. (of course a baby does hinder the driving around looking for a great shop like I used to do :) but I wouldn't trade him!) I am super excited to come down and see it!
