Update

Grandma Sandra came to visit around the time of my last posting. We had a great time as usual and headed into Seattle to get some retail items for the shop.

You'd think that living on an Island would make the kids "un" enamoured with the ferry system. Nope.

Here is my new home away from home. Not really, but I have frequented it few times in the last two weeks. Grands & Benedict.

I just love this shot. When I get into Seattle, I become giddy almost instantly. I love it THAT much.

On my last trip to G&B we were told that the below pizza joint in the SODO district has the BEST pizza in Seattle. It was okay.....not the best but the employees were RAD so we will for sure be going back.

They loved my little Mae.

Back to the shop. Chantal, my design guru has been my savior during this whole ordeal, showing up every day and helping me get my head straight.

In the midst of all this craziness, Nathan and his friends decided that my shop would be the best place to hold his sweet 14 party. Two boys, two girls, scary right? Naw, they are all the best of friends. The sweetest two girls you could ever meet. They opted to have Bryan (Nathans idol) come to play some tunes with them. He was a great chaperone while I went to the store to get goodies for the teens.

Seriously......how cute are these guys?

Happy Birthday to Nathan. So low maintenance this year. We gave in and bought him a cell phone. I dont even have one. Seriously though, I am already regretting this decision thanks to the constant phone calls and texting since LAST NIGHT. It was nearly taken away just hours ago due to his bratty disposition. Sorry Nate, but it's true.

And yet....here is my musical genius in all his glory. He is a good boy.

On to the sweet. Tonight was our bi monthly meeting with these amazing Achievement girls.

I just adore each one of them. They were so cute helping to fix up the shop tonight.

Mae and Nora looking up to these amazing sweet girls. It will be soon enough that they will be in their shoes.

Finally! The shop. It has really come a long ways thanks to Chantal. I am falling in love finally. It really isn't all roses opening up a store. I had NO idea the work behind it.

That's all for now! Come on by and say hallo!
