wow… we've been working around the clock! it's been a crazy week and an emotional roller coaster due to SO many unexpected details and a never ending to-do list. only 10 days to go! here are some photos from tagging. that's almost done now.
and here's a tiny peek at Emma's sweet shoppe. It's looking so adorable and detailed. her bubble tea sealer machine came in this week. things are exciting… it's all coming together.
rachel is helping style our children's section. courtney is whipping up tons of alterations and repairs to vintage dresses. and the rest of us are here 12 hours a day running in circles (more or less…) and working on last minute details.
i hope you're excited for a FULL store tour, because it's definitely coming soon as well as LOTS of before/after photos. we've poured so much into this project. we're trying to enjoy every moment. it's a really special time!
Be back soon with more treats! XO. elsie

Awesome! Having recently opened a business, I know how much work it is. I keep telling the hubby we need to take a roadtrip to Springfield…..not too far from here in Little Rock. We’ll do it some day.

IIIIIIIIIIII think you should move that cute little shop to Austin, TX and then I would come and buy things. And eat things.
i just love the way your shop is turning out and the plan is for me and a few of my girlfriends to make a road trip up there not too long after it opens. i just love the tags on your clothing. little details are the best 🙂
Everything here is tasty 🙂
it all sounds incredibly exciting & looks fab (love the sweetie jars). x
I am beyond thrilled for The Store’s opening! I can’t wait to see all of the yummy photos! I am thinking I may have to make a trek from Seattle to Missouri just to go vintage dress shopping! SO EXCITED for You All!
Awesome!
Everything looks so amazing. I wish I lived closer so I could stop by and shop when the store opens!!
me and my bff jess want to come, but we just can’t make the opening. a roadtrip to see the store is in the works though.

I’m so excited to see the finished product! I’m going to have to make a trip up there around Christmas or something. I bet it’ll be even MORE adorable all decorated for the holidays!
