It's finally open! After three months of crazy DIY-remodeling we opened our doors for the first time. It was
m a g i c a l. Makes my list of top 5 favorite days in life, for sure....
Here's one of my cute first customers! She stitched this 'corn on the cob' costume herself!
Emma's Sweet Shoppe counter is positively magical. Oh my goodness! my favorite treat is bubble tea, but caramel apples and salted caramel cupcakes are a close second...... sigh!
(this is the part where i start posting tons of photos of special people......)
(flowers from mom + dad! thank you!)
Our first weekend was super busy and incredibly fun! Thanks to all my friends and blog readers who stopped in! It was really fun to hear everyone's thoughts.
Here's Tessa searching for the perfect vintage dress...♥
and here's a fun display (inspired by the movie UP, of course) made with my childhood dollhouse!
Here's the 'waiting area' by our dressing rooms (although this pretty couch already sold over the weekend!). There are some super pretty vintage magazine that everyone loves to look though!
The shop smells like Autumn. It sounds like Beach House, Bjork and Radiohead. It's full of charming vintage and handmade things. It's my favorite place in the world now. I feel completely creatively fulfilled and so thankful for the chance to make this dream come true! There's a full shop tour (photos + video) coming this week. XO! elsie
(thank you, Amy, for the pretty bouquet!)
