Well , my first day back at the helm of the shop. The weather did not corporate on Sat., it was rainy and cold.. But that did not discourage my favourite customers to brighten my day.. It felt good to share my winter adventures and treasures with all of them. My hat cupboard , you remember the one my husband said he never wanted to move again.. well he broke his promise and help me move it to the back room for customer pickup... It was a little bittersweet to see it depart on the back of a truck destine for another home and adventure , I must say, it was a heavy piece. Now , the top half mantel remained all alone looking for a bottom, for it needs something to sit on and I needed a hat display.. Anyway , hubby and I pick a table that was waiting in the "holding tank "that would do the trick for now..off we went that night to the shop to organize the units.. It fit the new addition just fine , so today Sunday I spend some time displaying this corner of the shop.. When an few hr later two woman walk in... The First Lady zeros in on the mirror mantel unit that is all decked out in a variety of hats and says ... Oh my I love that mantel top.. It will fit so nicely on my fireplace mantel.! Guess what ... My work I had done in the past few hr just went out the window... My hat display was destroyed for the three time.. Out the door of the shop into the back of an SUV and down the road it went along with another happy customer . This is the life of a small town shop keeper...and the reason I Have the Lofty Lion Vintage Shop. Life is good...Kathy
