Dog Days of Summer

So what is happening in the wilds of Wisconsin? We are catching our breath from the Summer TNNA show in June. It was a great show, but boy do we have a lot to do yet. We are soooo grateful for all the support and orders. We met a lot of new friends and customers and as usual that is the best part.

This time for the first time EVER we took a bit of time for ourselves. On the way there we stopped over at Boonsboro WV. Kath is a HUGE Nora Roberts fan and she has written a series of books about the town. It was great fun to see the town and the businesses she writes about and actually own. We even got a little tour of the Inn Boonsboro. We also hit a super cute shop named The Robin's Nest.







 Eye candy everywhere and got our juices and ideas flowing for new products and our Vintage show we are doing in September.  After a yummy lunch we finished the trip to DC.



The show set up went smoothly thank goodness because we also had volunteered to spearhead the group theme window at the show.
 It went really well and there was a great team that made it all happen.

As usual I never take enough pictures....










After a great show we drove to the Chesapeake Shore near where Molly used to live. How beautiful! We splurged and booked a night a charming B & B. Then we walked down to the bay for an amazing crab dinner. How fun and messy!

Next morning we took the short drive to Molly's old hood. Very small, on the water and charming. After another crab lunch we started the drive home. 8 hours later (or maybe 9) we were in Cleveland! Early the next morning we hit the road for home. So we actually took almost 2 whole days vacation! Shocker!!!!


It was fun and much needed but we are full steam ahead now.
