We had the Ribbon Cutting last nite!

Alex was rushing to geet in the pic too, but looks like he's pushin Daddy.

Can't wait for today!!!

Hoping to get to the beach Monday for some family R&R....

We are almost there. . . . .

We have been working like crazzy at the shop!!

Today the sign was installed!!!

Almost all set up inside, just need to tag everything.

I found this great little conversation bench on the side of the road.

After a good cleaning & some warm shabby paint, just too sweet!!

Its perfect out front, with some flowers & my Shabby Lane Shops mag's, perfect spot to sit & rest a while.  My kids fit perfectly on it to!

I have so many favorite spots in the shop and this is one of them!  I just adore these angel chairs.

I found this little treasure in Lake George & knew I had to have it for over my desk.  The perfect amount of sparkle!

 We have so much done & Grand Opening is Friday!!

My dream is coming true & its so hard to believe its really happening!!

Hugs to all,

Bunny

We are opening a Shop!!!

This is my dream come true!!

We are opening a store front!!

1232A Grundy Avenue in Holbrook

This all happened in about 4 days, saw the shop & got the key!  So far we have been busy painting everything & ordering shop supplies.  

I am adding a special wall treatment to the front room when you walk in. 

My Husband rocks!!  He painted the entire side room while I fauxed, its a huge room too!  All with our 2 kids playing & our furry daughter playing beside us.

We had a couple misshaps.  We thought, sure let the kids paint the radiators outside, keep them busy.

So in case you can't tell, my son steped in paint, his shoes are recked, ohh & this was on mothers day.  So we had to run for new shoes before meeting the family out for diner! 

Crazzy, hard working, beautiful Mother's Day!!

So while driving to a friends house with the kids, I see out of the corner of my eye, a dining room set on the side of the road.  I pull over & ask the man if its really for trash??  They family is moving & does not need the set anymore.  Its a 3 yr old set, in great condition & beautiful.  So in my car it goes!!! Now I have a Dining Room set for the shop!

While loading the furniture in my car & making trips back & forth to my house, we need to stop & watch the family of geese try to decide what side of street they want to be on.

Keeping the kids happy watching this sweet little family go back & forth, back & forth, traffic stopping, all while the kids are telling each other "mommies crazzy, we are late for our play date!"   Only I find these treasures on the side of the road!!  Its a surprise, I will show the set soon  :o)

As work gets done I will post more pics & share more stories.

This is an amazing journey & we are all so very excited!!

As my dream of owning a Shop comes true!!

To be continued!!

Easter is on its way. . .

Easter is one of our families favorite Holidays!!  The soft pastel colors, the freshness & the warm weather!  There is the Easter Bunny that brings treats & gifts to the little ones, a hunt to be the first to find an egg!  Then a lavish yummy dinner with friends & family.  

Here is a Rabbit I offered last year, he is the last one left & I had to have him!   He looks so sweet in my pink depression glass bowl.  I think I need to change out the rose buds with some jelly beans. . .

I found this green & yellow bunny tea set a few years back & feel in luv with it!!  I always decorate this breakfront in my dining room for the hoidays.  The "Easter" garland is a piece I had to keep too, its glittered & has Vintage Easter images & ribbon ~ all my favorite things!

This is for my kids.  The Easter Nursery, complete with plants for sale, baby chicks & bunnies & a sweet spring front yard. 

(I bought this wayyyy before I had little ones, I have always been a kid at heart!)  The perfect touch to our mantle.

Not sure why I didn't try this before.... Luv this basket & these are my hand painted glittered rose eggs.  I am now offering them together, for a grown up Easter Basket.

It is warming up finally.  Been a long cold winter!  We all have Spring fever in our house.  I will share pics as gardening gets done.

How is Spring by you??

Hope its warm & wonderful by you!!

Hugs,

Bunny

Signs of Spring

This weekend was just beautiful!!  Racked the lawn a bit, played outside a bit, took a walk ~ Spring is in the air!  I had bought some plants last weekend to dress up the porch a bit for my daughters party.  Here are some Pink & White Prim Roses.

Then while the kids were playing in the front I found the 1st true sign of Spring . . .

Tiny & Yellow and barely poking threw the leaves, but he is there!!  Sunny Yellow & ready to show off.  Now we just need to see a Robin & it will be official! 

I hope it is warming up & flowers are popping up by your home too!!

Hugs,
