I haven't posted in about a month, time flies when your having fun! I am in the process of opening a retail furniture consignment store, loads of work to do, but I can hardly wait. The contractors are about 2 weeks behind schedule, but I still am working on an April 1st door opening! We shall see!

| Here is the new store the first day at lease signing! |
While I'm waiting until the next onslaught happens, I have to comment on this winter weather we've been having in the northeast. It is raining this morning, on top of 3 feet of snow on the roof and 6 feet on the ground. Luckily, no flooding for us, but loads of water in the streets. Should freeze solid tonight and make for an interesting day tomorrow!
But in the winter, our thoughts always wander to warmer weather. I thought of how clever some people are with their outside spaces in the summer months. Let's get some inspiration, shall we?

 |
| Outdoor showers count, right? |
 |
| Fairy lights in the meadow |
 |
| Fairy lights in the drive |

| Fairy lights in the pavers |

| Capiz shells on the ceiling for summer breezes |
 |
