More Shop stuff

               I’m so late in showing you more pictures of the shop.
                 Oh but before I start I hope everyone had a wonderful
                Thanksgiving!
                  I wanted to do a post but things here have been nuts since we  opened.
                I’ve missed my blogging time and have been going thru
              some real withdrawals.

                              

 
         Having you all in my life really makes some of the hard times
         much easier to get thru.
                I wish I could live in this little blog world that is always
              so welcoming and encouraging.
            But I guess that’s not really possible …
            is it???

for a good child
                    I wanted to thank you for all the kind words about the Christmas Shop.
                I wish you could all come here too and we could play with my ribbons…
               or something !!!
                 I have a few customers that really “get me”and it’s great when
                I get to see them this time of year.
                  And yes we play with the ribbons….
              amongst other things.
                
                I’ll be quiet now and just let you look.
                I’’ll be going back to finish up a few orders…
               sometimes I feel like an elf working late into the night!!!!

Carole, you are quite the elfette! I love it all. I've got to warn you...I sold Odette out of the window at W&T's, so don't be surprised when I steal that Fab U Lous manni idea. Oh mylanta...I wish I had thought of that first!
I would love to come play in the ribbons. We could take turns braiding each other's hair!

Magical! It must be so much fun setting everything up. I'm planning a trip soon :)

Giulia said...

Oh gosh, what to say? What I always do: I wish I could pop into the shop, for real. So pretty & I need a fix. We're expecting terrible rains/high winds down here so I'll keep moving along to buy batteries. Hope it won't be up there too but no time to check at moment. Cheers, Carole.

PS: Charlotte is so mignon...oof

Chrissy...The Apothecary Shop said...

Julie@beingRUBY said...

Hi Little Elf!!
You've done a wonderful job making a magical christmas setting.. Your photos and displays are just sublime!!

Carole.. it truly looks like Christmas.. Almost makes me sad that aussies christmases just don't have that 'special feeling'!! Is it because it is summer and no snow?!! or am I just getting older.. hahahahah...

Try not to work yoursELF... to the bone!! and yes I think George and Charlotte cuddles looks so sweet!!! .. ciao ciao xxx Julie

Did you see any of Santa's elves while you were working late, Carolyn? lol! I love that pretty white bird in the twigs! She'd look sweet topping my Christmas tree. How large is she? Is she for sale? :)

xoxo laurie

Heaven's Walk said...

Oh.....and I know exactly how you feel about living in Blogland, Carolyn. The support, encouragement, friendships, love, creativity, blessings, and prayers.....does it get any better???? :) My hubby has to literally pry me away from it every evening when it's time for bed..... lol!

xoxo laurie

Rebecca said...

Hey sweetie
How did I miss your first post! The shop looks wonderful!!! I get you girl... but I know what you mean.
I am doing a show this weekend, I might steal your idea with the branches on top of the dressform... I love that.
Hope your selling your little heart out!
Blessings
PS Haven't missed retail yet

Rebecca said...

PS I can't believe I haven't been a follower all this time... I am number 300 ha... time for a give away!

the old white house said...

Carole, everything looks so beautiful! You are obviously one of Santa's favorite elves, making everything so magical! Have fun with your ribbons, Theresa xoxo

mary pernula said...

Hi Carole, I love all the ornaments, I would love to visit and look at all your ribbons. George and the kitty are precious. HUGS MARY

Julia @ Vintage with Laces said...

Oh Carole, You sweet little elf! Everyhing in your shop is just so beautiful! I so wish I could come play and shop. A funny thing is, that when I went shopping with my dear hubby yesterday, he bought me exactly the same mercury heart like you have in your shop. That's amazing! It hangs on our tree now and I love it. Unfortunately I haven't seen any of those pretty glittered letterings over here yet.
Big HUGS to you,
Julia
