Just Like Home

We did it; we moved a 2600 square foot store into a 1000 square foot cottage. With it we moved our signature quality titles and the style that has defined us in the last four years. We are enjoying being able to walk from one end of the shop to the other in less than 5 seconds.  It’s easy to plop down your bag on a chair and wander in, just like home. There is still much to be done, but the boxes are gone and the porch is swept.
 Now that fall is here, the courtyard is delightful. The surrounding trees bow to greet you. Scroll down for more pictures of the new and familure.
