You can mark your calendars because SUMMER is *officially* here now that we have a new shop window. Nina, the mastermind behind our visual merchandising, did a fabulous job, as usual! Here she is hanging the fun flags that my mom made for us.
It is so difficult to get a good photo of our shop window. There is always a glare. Here's a few pics... I did my best!
And, here's a picture of Nina behind the counter, after hanging the flags.
Isn't she cute?!!
We had some fun visitors to the store today! We are so fortunate to meet so many of our long-distance customers when they visit Seattle. Today, I met Abby from North Carolina. She and her hubby are out here on a business trip (he is a FABULOUS photographer heading to Oregon to photograph a wedding - check out his website here!) and popped in to see us this morning. Here is my dorky moment for the day... I snapped a picture of Abby in front of the shop thinking it looked pretty good. THEN after chatting a while, I discover that her Kevin is a professional photographer! I'm going to post it anyways because it may give them a good chuckle! <smile>
Come check out our new shop window. We even have beach sand!!
so fun to see the window displays! :)

Ooooh ... love the window, Linda! And I spy with my two little eyes two cards that are very familiar. :) May I share the full size versions on my blog ... or are those to be kept under wraps?
The shop looks just wonderful ... you and the whole team always do such a wonderful job!
Hope you are doing well!

I just love your site! You mentioned:

All you need is a circular polarizer on your lens to cut the glare. They're about $30 or so. You'll be amazed at how cool they are. ;-)
