Stocking, stocking

After a much needed break, we are back and hard at work stocking shelves. And we are making progress!!!

We're having a lot of fun unpacking boxes from the far reaches of the world, such as these gorgeous, fair trade, hand crafted and dyed yarns from Manos del Uruguay. We get to pick these giant skeins up and then we...

..twist them into happy, portable packages...put a label on them...and then we get to...

...hang them! So pretty...

Sigh, but we also have to do a lot of this....

I'm so excited!!! Any idea when you will officially open yet? I keep on finding excuses to go to CVS so that I can peek at your windows.
