They're OPEN!!!

After MANY long nights by MANY different people the girls opened their doors yesterday morning. The place is beautiful and has such an amazing atmosphere!

Having MOST everything in its place I think everyone is very happy to call this home. Being in the old shop they were starting to feel like everyone was on top of one another. Making the move allowed for SO MUCH MORE space! There are six stations, four driers, four sinks, and a waxing area.

The waiting area is a perfect spot to sit quietly reading a magazine while allowing your mind to wander to the realization that you are about to get what you have been needing... total pampering!

I am so happy for Barbie and the girls! I know Barbie is VERY, VERY, VERY TIRED but also just as happy knowing she is in a place that is going to be enjoyable to work in and visit as a client.

Real Deals

This star I got for my birthday last year from my mom.

Michele said they sell these stars in ALL different sizes and colors.

Michele Smith has been talking to me about this new store that Chad's sister Natalie opened in Kennewick at the beginning of June. It is called Real Deals: Home Decor and it is located at 11 E Kennewick Ave. They are open on Thursdays from 10-6pm and Saturdays from 10-4pm.

Michele was there for awhile yesterday and said they were soooo busy. There are so many wonderful deals and way cute things for the house. I can't wait to get there myself. I got on their website and signed up on the mailing list which is suppose to send you updates on major deals and when they are having them.

I looked at the pictures they had showing products in the stores. TONS of FUN stuff. Just looking at the website I could probably spend MANY hours and LOTS of money in one stop.

Check it out! Bet you too will want to go tomorrow morning!!!!!

Gettin' Closer!

We were off to a slow start getting the new shop put together until Wednesday night. It was time to get down to business. I got down there and Will and Brian were already beginning to get things hung on the walls. They did run into a couple glitches (the screws were not going all the way into the drywall). Once they got longer screws they were back in business.

It wasn't until 10:35pm that any of us (including kids) headed home for the night. Needless to say it was a short nights sleep!!!!!

Thursday we took the night off but Friday is the MAJOR day of moving. It will be the day to say good-bye to the old building and hello to the new digs!

Come by on Tuesday for a peek at the place. You're gonna LOVE IT!

Slowly But Surely??? Hopefully!!!!

Getting Barbie's new shop up and going by next Tuesday is beginning to stress me out a bit. It is a good thing that I am the stresser and Barbie is the calm one(seeing as though she is the shop owner)! Last night we went to the shop for another night of "putting things on the walls." Because Will was still at work and Brian was at practice Barbie, Kelli, Emma Lynn and myself started with putting together some of the shelving. It was a VERY good thing Emma Lynn was with us because Kelli and I were having some trouble following the wordless directions! Emma kept making "blond" jokes and we did have to remind her that she too was blond!

After two hours of work we had accomplished putting together only two shelves! Brian showed up unwrapped a couple mirrors but never did hang anything on the walls.

The second shelf should have been easier to put together...yeah, we didn't think so!

So, tonight Will is coming down and Will seems to be the one who gets things done out of all of us. I have faith that TONIGHT there will be things hung on the walls before we lock the shop up for the evening!!!!!

We did realize there were MANY males around but only females working! :)
