Clean Slate

We had an amazing Christmas season but our bodies are done in. We closed our store after Christmas for four days….reopened for three and after New Years, we took an additional four days. Our staff was exhausted….Mark has been sick the entire month and our poor Ellie has been sick since December 26th….she is finally starting to do better.

So needless to say….we needed some time off. We needed to rest, we needed to get projects done and we needed to have some fun. All work and no play makes me a very dull girl.

So this next week we are so ready to go to art galleries and get Christmas lights down and just get stuff done that has been on my list forever. My car is full with stuff to go to the Thrift. We have been purging and getting rid of all sorts of stuff.

Yesterday, we had some fun and did some vintage shopping at a place in my hometown that I haven’t had time to go to in five years.

I found this amazing frame and winter painting….

And the best food…

I also found these amazing vases….

Today I vacuumed and mopped and cleaned bathrooms and washed clothes and watered plants and took care of two dogs….

I have all Christmas down inside the house. I keep up greenery and plain trees until March….it just helps with the winter snow and ice etc. Makes the house feel cozy.

Today I out some Vday charm out….
