			Hello my friends! Everyone is correct about the size issue. It wont make a difference! And, now that I have moved into a bigger store, I have several areas I can actually put this! Including right on the balcony, right above the fitting rooms! And as you open the door to come into the shop, it would be directly ahead of you! Perfect!  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I have been so blessed with this journey! SO many people have helped to make this possible! Including my former landlord! We sat down to discuss the two stores of his and we both agreed neither one was meeting my needs and he was not able to finish the renovations in a timely fashion. So I found another store front in the same plaza that is nice and large enough for a consignment shop! And it is all fixed up and ready to move into! Which I am doing tomorrow! I paid rent to the new store and friends and family and customers are coming to help me move and then size and maybe even hang more and finish ticketing the store and its inventories TOMORROW! And my former landlord has even hired some men to do the heavy labor, out of his own pocket! I have truly made a good friend with him! It goes to show me that even when things dont work out the way you think they should, really wonderful things can still happen! I have shared with some of my customers about the "you are so beautiful" project you all are doing for us. They are simply overwhelmed by the message of the words AND the fact that is is a gift from strangers who believe in us. Thank you so much. So very very much!

			thank you Tommi! I will PM you now. I was just at the store setting up racks and adding clothes to them. I was able to purchase two more "rounders today. I have a call into someone who is selling display shelves and hope to get two of them. My sign is in the hands of the person who will be hanging it tomorrow! Its pulling together and I know I will be open by the 15th! OMG! Pinch me! Its a wonderful feeling to know my dream is coming true! And you all have made it so special for me! I cant wait for my customers to see your signage! I want them to feel beautiful!

			Does September seem far away? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Does anyone have a theme or is there a Wrangler project coming up? Does the Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types thread want to do a Raffle basket (Something from you and you and you)? Does "Raffle Bags" ring a bell with anyone here? See the list below for an idea. Does anyone have a theme or is there a Wrangler project coming up? echo echo... Tommi , Rafflemiester Little Rockalypse 2012  |

			Right now Rain is hosting the Altoid project (closed for sign ups) due by end of June. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	We don't have a "next project" scheduled. Sometime I'd like to wrangle a third annual "post secret" project (based on http://www.postsecret.com for those not familiar). But that doesn't need to be the next project. It can be anytime. I will leave your other questions to the others ![]()  |

			Oh Tommi! How so very sweet of you! I was given a HUGE antique dark mahogany round dining room table with thick claw feet today for the store! It is where my sweaters are going to be folded and exhibited! I have an old antique side by side, drawers on one side, a hanging section on the other, that I am going to use in the shop too. I will put nylons, gloves, scarves, etc in the drawers and hang teddies and nighties in the hanging side.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			the thrill of this going from my mind to reality is amazing! And I get to share it with all of you!
