Store Front-Water Wonders Pools & Spas

WATER WONDERS
POOLS & SPAS
Last Sunday night the guy that owes the building called and give Bob the keys. I am so happy and excited that he finally has a store front. We have been home base for the last several years and it has lost us a couple of sales. This process started way back in August, that is when we first looked at the store. It is not the best place, but it is what (we think) we can afford.
We started Monday morning cleaning up the store. This is what it looked like when we started.
Kayden is our little helper.
We started with the ceiling tile, painting and replacing. Then we painted all the walls, except for the panel walls, the owner doesn't want us to paint those. Everything has been washed down and moped several times. Bob also started building the check out area and a display area.
There is a large bathroom in the back, where the frig is and a large office where the broom is in the first picture above. The office is full of the owners stuff and he will be moving it out soon.
Last fall I called two different companies to make shirts for the business and no one has every called back. So, we tried making our own. This is one of them. I blocked out the phone number.

STITCHING
No stitching or beading this week, been too busy with the store front and taking care of the house and kids.
ETSY
I was very surprised to see that two of my items had made it to treasury this week and they were done by other shop members that are not in any of the teams that I am in. Which is really nice to see that other shops really like my items. My Crochet Beaded Braided Bracelet, and the Ladybug Ornament Hanging Tuck
