the other day, i spent the afternoon at this cute shop- a fabric and furniture consignment store down the road. my parents befriended the owner, and started hanging around and helping out with little things, as the business is struggling a bit due to the economy.
of course when i got there, my mind started going off. there is sooo much space, and it has such potential! the upstairs has an art loft, with room to spare... i could see part of it being made into a coffee shop (or devoted to vintage clothing!!) i mentioned the idea to the owner, and he wasn't too keen...
either way, it was a nice way to spend some time :)

What a lovely place! I bet a coffee shop would do really nicely - too bad the owner didn't like the idea. :-P
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I absolutely adore those straws! I want to put paper mustaches on them like this for my graduation party. :D And by my calculations $8 for 20 straws is only about $.40 so that's totally justifiable for a graduation party, right!? I mean, I'm only going to graduate once, so I might as well live it up. :D
P.S. I totally love your blog and I'm following you now! :D
That looks like one incredible space full of so much loveliness. How sweet would it be to put a coffee shop and vintage clothing shop in there....hmm, sounds like a fab idea to me. Your mom's artwork is so serene and beautiful!!
You are part of artist lineage! I love your sweater! :)
I love fabric shop! Your pictures really make me want to go! You mom's artwork is incredible!
