it feels magical to me.
(i made these banners from a couple boxes of bad polaroid film i got a couple weeks ago. it was tragic at the moment, but i did get a refund anddd these cute banners! yay.)
here are a few more random pics from the store. i am going to wait to post pics of the nerd party until i get Will's photos, since we both took a ton! :)
we added a little table in the back for craft time. :)
rachel's little smocks are even cuter in real life.
i wish you could all visit the shop in person at least once! :)
new Donnie Darko inspired skeleton girls for Halloween... :)
(these bows stole my heart. thanks, viv!)
Have a lovely weekend! elsie

Your shop window looks beautiful! Love the banner :)

cuuuute! The window looks great. And i love the 'house' for all the accessories. Plus the chalk boards look fab together & the polaroid banner is a stroke of genius!

Elsie,
You are amazing! Your store looks RAD!
I totally love the fall store window!
Also, how did you cut into your polaroids? Did you trace your letters, then cut them out, or what was your process? Did you have to deal with any mess from the chemicals inside a polaroid picture?
Thanks for sharing your photos and for considering my questions.
Peace & Smiles,
Briana

The store is too cute. I love how everything changes and there is always new things to see in your photos. I just wished I lived closer so I could see it all in person. Cute.

I wish I could visit too! I think a few of my friends and I will have to take a road trip sometime just to come see it, and you! :) We are from southeast Iowa so it's really not too far!
Posted by: Sarah | September 05, 2009 at 08:33 AM
It truly felt cozy and warm in there last night and even smelled like Fall with that spicy smelling candle! I love the table and think it should stay so I can come over and crochet while you work on Sundays!

Your shop is too Cute. I just searched all over your blog and website the other day and finally found the info that your shop is located in Springfield, MO. My friend and I want to make a road trip one weekend to visit as we live in Chicagoland, that's not to far. Right? But we will see you at Renegade for sure.
