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.
