~ Shop Photos from Open House and other news!! ~

Good Sunday Morning 
~ Friends & Folk ~

I've been waiting to show you photos of our newly renovated shop,
and here they are!

Yesterday was our official re-opening ~  
after weeks and weeks of being closed while Peter & Chris worked their magic...

let's take a tour!


{finally got my purple front door!}

{ the 'big' room now holds class/work/display tables }

{ new pegboard was added throughout the entire shop to hold our models }

{ Peter built shelving complete;y around the shop for merchandise }

{ Updated our furniture with a fresh coat of paint }

{ new shiny racks hold our wools in the 'wool' room! }

{ models can be seen more clearly due to new gallery track lighting }

{ white painted floors make it see so much larger }

{ wool racks have wheels so I can move them about }

{ Old favorites like our sewing tables that Peter made are still with us and put to work for display }

{lighter, brighter and farm-fresh!}

{got wool?  ~ we do!}

{ everything in it's place }

{ Peter made the lattice toppers in all of the windows }

{ new bright lighting over the counter }

{ a new look to the woodstove area with beautiful tile }

{ and I even have a cozy chair to hook in front of the woodstove now! }

Miss Joan came out to lend a hand, {thank you dear fiend}
and Pepper was here to greet you too ~ as she cannot leave Peter's side.
Roxy and the pups stayed busy in the barn all day...

Inside, outside and all around ~
such a difference in the way our little shop looks now!


I am blessed to be married to this wonderfully talented, 
hard working, kind and gentle, always-giving, full of love, helpful, & hope-full person ~
Peter,
thank you for doing what you do for us to make such a wonderful life.
It is sometimes rough, and sometimes we are so tired that we seem to pass the days in a blur ~
but we are together, healthy & happy.

I couldn't have wished for a better partner in life and love.

Oh, Lori, it's just fantastic! All the engineering aspects such as rolling racks, shelves all around, track lighting in all the right spots...why, even a purple door! Every detail is perfect (especially love those lattice toppers...brilliant!). And, yes, the shop is for everyone...but I'm pleased to know you have your own special spot by the stove and bright window for your quiet work, too...

Congratulations on a fine opening!! And Peter can stay on that front porch swing as long as he wants to, lol!

CONGRATS to you guys for all the hard work...it has paid off! Now I just have to plan a trip down one of these days!

Well done on the remodel! I think my bank account & stash drawers are very happy I can't visit in person to rootle the wools :-) I'm still eyeing the stitcher's tray though.
