Our business is entering a new phase of growth, I can feel it and you can almost hear it clicking. Thank you so much for all the encouragement and support, I can't possibly express how much it means.
So many wonderful things have happened over the past week including a visit from a distinguished guest....exciting news to share about that later! Hard to keep this one under my hat....but I will for now.
Okay, I'll stop yammering long enough to share some photos from our Fall Preview Party.
Here are a few photos that I took just before we opened.
Can you believe we built out this entire space in just 3 weeks?
Now, here are a few pics after we opened the door.
.
The line at the sales counter extended over 50' during the early hours, my sincere apologies for that, we were positively overwhelmed! We were expecting a good turnout, instead we had an overwhelming turnout! Thank you for being patient during the craziness, we will do better next time. The turnout for our events is amazing, but what makes it truly amazing is that we do not advertise at all. Our advertising comes only from the bloggers and word of mouth. Isn't that something?...
Now, time to do some ultra major restocking and twirl the shoppe into shape again for First Monday. We get to do this all over again in just 3 days! Isn't it fun?I will have more photos to share with you very soon.
One last note....I created a new Facebook business page just this morning that will allow me to share lots more with you. Please join us here.
Have a great week.

OMG! We had such fun! Your store is the most amazing place I've ever shopped. See you again in October!
Your shoppe looks glorious! Glorious. Wish I was there....Congratulations on your wonderful event!
Your pics just make those of us that can't be there more and more anxious to get there! I just told my husband last night that I was going to your shop this fall. Now I am more excited than ever! Congrats. You've got the eye! Lori L

Congratulations Laurie you certainly deserve an over whelming
response to your opening. Yall worked so hard in such a short period of time. It looks amazing

there. I hope to be there the last part of Oct.,but what are your

Well, shopping with you all the time made me think I knew what to expect. How wrong I was! It was that and soooooo much more. Your shoppe and your creativity is all I've thought about since I left. You are truly a gifted person. Even in church this morning I let my mind wander to "how could I get rid of everything in my house and make it look like LaurieAnna's shoppe". You are inspiration times ten.

OOooo, can't wait to see this in person!!So glad you had such a good selling day, that makes it all worthwhile,huh?? Congrats on this new space, it looks awesome in the pics.

Wow, Congratulations!! I was drooling over the photos.
My heart ached yesterday to know this was going on without me:(
But I'm sooo happy it was a huge success!! I knew it would be nothing less. I still say, visiting your shoppe is an experience no one ever forgets. So, I will be there Friday...and I can't wait to see you (and all the pretties). Congratulations, you're certainly my inspiration.
Blessings,
