Topic: Cross Stitch
Last week we sent out the invitations for our fifth year in business. It is so hard to believe that we've been doing the shop for 5 years. I can still remember the thrill of those first open days. I had ordered from several suppliers and boxes seemed to arrive every day. We had the stress of not knowing if our overseas orders would come in on time, but fortunately they did.
My parents graciously offered their livingroom to set up shop. So furniture was moved out of the way, tables were brought in, we got plastic bins to put the leaflets in and I used an Ikea small drawer chest as my cash register.
While trying to set everything up, we added several bouquets as we thought the tables were looking a bit empty. How things can change, even with the shop, we're always looking for more space to put things. I will try to dig up some pictures of those first open days.
Here's the invitation we sent out, it shows my parents' farmhouse and the shop.
