Build It and They Will Come

Thank you for making Saturday the most amazing day!! More than I could have ever hoped for!

It had already been 3 weeks of glorious hard work when we remained at the store until 3:30 am Saturday morning (yes you did read AM) putting the final touches on everything when a smidge of anxiety kicked in. Since we had only promoted through blog and our email list, and had only begun promoting a mere 10 days before the event, I was concerned about attendance. The girls laughed at the notion and my hubby used his standard line from the movie Field of Dreams, "build it and they will come", which brought a smile to my face.

Well, they sure were right, we built and you came, thank you, thank you, thank you! The day took off like a shot and between 9:30 and noon we couldn't keep up with the pace! At one point, the line meandered into the back portion of the store. My apologies for that....we'll do better next time! This confirms that you read the blog visit our site which means so much to me. Now, I know that you will find us any place we go!

I wish we would have had some time to grab a camera and catch more action shots, but I must confess that I only thought of it once and those shots are quite blurry, sorry about that! But, we did get some nice shots moments before we unlocked the door. I'll share more in the next few posts.

With the successful event firmly behind us, I know now that the anxiety was misplaced and should be saved for more suitable things such as booth set-up for the rapidly approaching First Monday!!
Lots of big pieces were gone shortly after we opened. The big seed cabinet and magnificent English scale pictured below sold quickly along with lots of other great vintage pieces.

So many customers drove long distances to come to the event, but I believe, at least based upon what I know this morning, that the prize for the "farthest distance traveled" belongs to these sweet ladies that traveled from Memphis to attend!!

We also had numerous clients that drove in from Houston - they all found us during the Houston Nutcracker last year!! I love that! And they found out about the event through the blog.....see what I mean about finding us anywhere!

Thanks again to all of you for continuing to support and encourage us.....you are why we do this!
 And I must thank fellow bloggers Theresa of Garden Antiques, Deb of Talking Trash, Marcie and Mayron of Unique Unique Designs for supporting and promoting us the way you do!! It means so much to me....you are great friends and I treasure you!

Now, it's time to get the wagons loaded for First Monday......be sure to visit us at both locations! We'll be here waiting for you Thursday - Sunday!!!

Blessings,
