You can get a lot done in two days...

My parents came up from NY this weekend and we got so much done in the new space! We borrowed Dave's truck (Thanks Dave!) and moved the rest of the fixtures on Sat. morning. Then Kev and my dad patched up the holes in the old space while my mom and I went shopping for shelving and a new mirror for the dressing room. Everyone complained about that dang Ikea mirror so I thought I would get a new mirror for the new space...

Sat. night we went to Flatbread to celebrate my dad's and my birthday (1/21 & 2/1 respectively). Then we went to see Children of Men; which was great! I definitely reccommend this movie.

Sun. morning we took measurements for the dressing room and storage area and then Kev and my dad went to Home Depot to get some supplies while my mom and I took it easy and went across the street to Borders. The ladies of the Burlington Craft Mafia stopped by to see the new space after their meeting. Everyone is so excited about this move. It will give the store and the artists so much more visibilty. I might even be able to pay myself!

After the dressing room and storage area were put up, my parents left to go back to NY and Kev and I stayed at the shop for a few more hours to put up the shelving and start unpacking some boxes. We only have a few things left to do- put up the mirror and lights in the dressing room, finish patching up the walls at the old space, change my phone service, put lights around the windows of the new space, get my sandwich board sign approved, put out product, etc...did I say only a FEW things left to do. I meant I still have a TON left to do.

Here are some pics from the weekend:

Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend!
