So, our new shop has a ton going on…. cupcake shop, dress shop, bridal, handmade pretty things, mens clothing, a kiddo's section and housewares. Truly Crazy! today's peek is dress shop progress…. enjoy!
I love the soft colored dresses…♥ we carry vintage and handmade dresses. there are over 1000 in here already. it's sorta like heaven.
And these are the people who make all the magic happen! Emma, Doren and Jeremy have each put in countless hours. We all have our own favorite and not-so-favorite jobs. It's such a team project. We're constantly bouncing ideas and trying new things. It's so much fun to be daily working on DIY projects with people I love so much! I can't wait to set up the bakery and candy shop…. so excited!
Thanks for taking a peek at our world today! Hope you had a magical day… Love, Elsie

I am swooning over those vintage cameras. Makes me want to plan a trip to Missouri.
