Our first mention in the news!

Our Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening was very successful today, despite looming threats of Tropical Storm Fay. Who knows what tomorrow will hold, but we will be open rain or shine. Over the next couple of days I will post any publicity we receive, so here are our first mentions...

Also, our first ad ran in the Wednesday edition of the Washington County and Holmes County News. I will scan it in and add it to the blog. I made my first official sale and won the purse contest against my mom. I can't remember if I mentioned the contest, but we both chose purses at market and had a contest on which purses would sell first. The score as of today: Morgan: 3, Donna: 0!!!

I would like to give a shout out to the Washington County Chamber of Commerce for the wonderful showing and support they provided us. Also, once again, my family showed out in force to lend a helping hand for the event. How blessed I am.

I will post pictures and more news as it comes!

Morgan, how funny about your purse contest! Maybe one day I can make it to your store!

Of course, her dear sister purchased one of the purses! They are great...

Also a shout out to Aunt Sharon, Christy, & Greer who helped prepare food on Thursday night. They were a huge help!
