Ahhh...The First Day of Summer

Here are a few pictures of the first day of summer here. We spent some time at the beach. Yep - the kids are wearing coats and pants. It was 60 and rainy, but that didn't stop us from getting to the beach. We all wore our rainboots & went in the water. The girls had fun digging in the shells. Maybe it will get warmer some day!

It's Like Christmas - EVERYDAY

So this week has been the most amazing mail week EVER! I have come home to boxes (yes, plural) each day this week.

And it is all goodies for the shop! Here are a few pics of things that have come in this week. We have delicious soap from Blushie and jewelry and hair clips from Molly of Whimsy House. I will share more photos things soon! Off to sew - the first market is this weekend too!

EmmaJean's Boutique

Yikes! I can't believe it. We can start to set up the shop later this week. I feel like someone should pinch me & see if I wake up.

I will post pics soon.

Also - the Appleton Market starts this weekend!

We are on facebook now too - www.facebook.com/emmajeansOshkosh

Fly Free!

So after a morning filled with painting & window display shopping (okay, and some ice cream too!) we came home and I left the back door open while I unloaded the car. Well then I got talking to the neighbor about her hostas and a few minutes later Audrey comes outside and says - Mumma - there is a bird in our house! It's okay, but Lola (our cat) is trying to play with it!

So I can inside to see what was going on...sure enough - there was a little birdie in the house! It ended up flying to the window so I quick popped the screen out & it flew away but for once I had my camera handy!

Teacher Gifts!

I finished up all of the teacher gifts last night! I had an order for a few & needed to make some for Audrey to take. I think they turned out great! They are keychains that say INSPIRE BELIEVE TEACH on them with a few pretty beads at the top.

Things for the shop are moving right along! We painted the main walls and now just have the window area to paint.
The signs have been ordered and we have the most AMAZING, talented artists/crafters who will be consigning with us. I'll post pics as the goodies come in.
