Thank You for Our Best Show EVER!!

Why is it when I have the most to blog about, I have the least amount of time to do it? 

This past show was so far beyond anything we've ever seen or known, I need to come up with a new word to define it. 

On Thursday morning, in addition to the heavy concentration of our faithful followers, we had not one, but two charter buses within an hour of each other. 

The store was so full of shoppers throughout the show that it felt like Times Square on New Year's Eve. 

Wonderful, glorious chaos and lots of happy customers! 

It doesn't get any better than that!

More times than I could count during the show, customers shared that they were visiting the Shoppe for the first time because a friend or family member told them about us.

Or, because they read about us on someone's blog. 

How can I say thank you for that?

You are our advertising. 

It means the world to me.

Every display, every event, every moment spent searching for items for the Shoppe...

are all done with you in mind.

I wouldn't trade it for the world.

One of the sweetest gifts of the show, my precious friends Denis, Tracy and Michael jumped on board to help out just because they thought it would be fun.  :-))

And yes, we did have lots of fun, but I know they slept well on Sunday night!

They were amazing help and our customers loved them.  I can't possibly thank you guys enough!

The entire crew would love to have you back anytime!

I really think Denis just didn't get enough of us last month! :-))

A few more gifts in my life....

Umm, can you tell these two are related?  Two of my favorite people in the world, beautiful mother and daughter, Lauren and Letty, are invaluable to our crew. 

Customers love them both, they are an absolute joy to be around and work so hard.

Sweetheart crew member Patty is one of the most uplifting people, she always has a smile on her face and never has a negative thing to say about anything.  May we all be surrounded by people like this in our lives.

All of these beautiful photos were taken by crew member Jessica....who is as sweet as she is pretty and is our team's official photographer.

The show was so busy that we didn't get photos of our many other crew-members, Patti, Chris, Leanne, Rhonda, Kim, Rodney, Daphne, Paula, and of course my sweet hubby.  

To all of you on the crew, thank you for all your hard work and dedication, I couldn't do this without you.

And, to all of our customers, thank you for supporting and encouraging us as you do. 

You are the reason we do what we do and you make every minute of the effort worth it.

We celebrated the close of the record setting show on Sunday night with a Pecan and Praline cake that was brought to us by one of our clients that owns Nothing Bundt Cakes.  Total bliss!

Our customers rock!

Now it's time to get the trailers loaded and get ready for the Mistletoe and Magic show that takes place next week, Nov 16-19, in Tyler.  We can't wait!

Will we see you there?

P.S.  Farmhouse Friday will resume this week.
