well, my friends are refusing to let me lock the door on the shop. We are looking for a smaller space, to downsize rather than close. If I can do less, until I can heal up the right way, I can keep the doors open. So we are scrambling to find a space.

I am also getting married in 24 days. I am losing my mind over that too! Why did I think I could put on a wedding??? LOL.

I have gained back some of the weight I lost after my stumach surgery. I am SO not worried about this. I remember when I had my eating disorder and a half a pound would make me so anxious! Shrug. Its so not an issue with me. I love being in my 50s. Better yet, I love accepting myself. You can do that at any age...

So happy to hear you don't have to close your doors!

Congrats on getting married, too! :-)

we found the cutest little shop! Its half the size of my first shop, but it comes with things we didnt have in the first one, like air conditioning! It was 90 degrees outside today so inside the shop was horrible! And it has a work area. We had no choice but to work on consignments behind the counter...but no more. Now we even have a separate entrance for consignors to use so we can keep them totally off the floor until they are ready to go out ticketed.. And it has PARKING! we only had on street parking before and now we have front, back and side parking. Oh boy am I glad we went looking!

I have someone who is painting it and repairing all the holes the last tenant made w their on the wall fixtures. We are moving in by July 15th...which is pretty amazing since I am getting married July 14th. Think I have enuf on my plate?

The :Pretties who are in the closest circle all knew how much I was struggling with the shoulder. Downsizing is by the better choice than closing all together. However I have to do it, I want to do it to stay open. I can go larger when my arm is better....

Going swimsuit shopping Wednesday. Might even try on a bikini or two!

@Miss Tia, I don't know you but I'm super psyched for all the stuff going on for you. Does/will your shop have a place to buy things online?

once we get moved and settled, we are starting an ebay store. Currently we have some purses on, under teahstreasures. I just brought in a box of stilleto heels in sizes 9, 10 and 11 and they will be added over the next few days. We will have a continual flow of merchandise offered on ebay, sorting by size and category of item. Like, one days postings will be all size 2x tops. Next day will be 3x tops. Etc. We have a work area that is conducive for us to do this now!
