The shop is open...

 
Actually the little square of space is open! 

I took the plunge and rented a space at a local Antique Mall.  It's more of a shabby chic refinished furniture place which works better for what I like to do.  My space is looking very bare but it's a work in progress!  I took some pics for you guys and hope to take more as I fill it up with fun furniture and decor finds that I've revamped a bit.  Thanks for all the support you gave me!  It really helped me make the decision to go for it! 

For any local readers, I'm at Through the Garden Gate Antiques on rt 301 in Hanover.  I'm on the second floor!  Come and see my space if you can!  I would love to hear what you think!

Here are the pics.  I have a few more things I finished up and have to cart over tomorrow that will hopefully make it look a little less pitiful!


Yesterdays mirror redo found a home here and my little elephant friend!

Remember that yellow mirror that was meant to be...well, I think it was meant to be black!

Remember this guy?

So there is A LOT of work to be done but it's definitely a start.
