Sneak Peak at Whimsey's Halloween Display

Don't forget about Binky la Faye and Whimsey's Autumn/Halloween Open house this Thursday night from 6:30 to 9:00.

Today we were redoing the store for the upcoming Open House, now Monday's are not usually a really busy day for us, but today that was not the case. We had the store torn apart everywhere and the customers just kept comming!!! We brought in an antique iron bed and before I could get it dressed it sold!! Went home and got the antique french iron bed off my back porch and had just gotten it put up when a sweet dealer from Comfort came in and said she wanted to buy it. (she changed her mind at the last minute so it's still available) All this to say, the store is still a HUGE mess, So lots of work to do before the Open House. We sold lots of stuff today, but I promise I'm holding back the new fall and Halloween merch. til Thursday. Be there at 6:30 to see it all!!! and to temp you even furthur... Here are a few shots of Whimsey's fall and Halloween decor

COMMING UP FOR AIR

Oh, Oh, Oh, I know I've been terrible at blogging lately. Please forgive. I won't ramble on with excuses, but just know that it will happen from time to time as things that are nearer and dearer to my heart need my attention.

But I will always come back.

Before I get to some new pics of the shop I want to talk a little bit about the weather here. We are breaking records everyday here in the central Texas Hill Country. We have had no significant rain since last September. July was the hottest EVER RECORDED. Our high temps have not been below 100 in 20 something days, and here in Llano our highs have been 106 to 108, we even got in a 110. The Llano River (the only source of water for the city of Llano) is flowing at critical rates. And there is no relief in sight.

Trees are dying, wildlife is suffering terribly, yards and gardens are burnt to a crisp, it's the worst I have ever seen. Our lawn and gardens were just about gone when we decided to try to restore an old water well on our property. We didn't know if it still had water or if so, how much, but my dear brother, who is very mechanically inclined, got it up and going for us. So we are now able to keep our trees and some of lawn and gardens alive, just barely. When we take our walk at 9:30 in the evening the temp. still reads 97. So prayers for rain for our parched land, and starving wildlife are very much needed.

On the positive side of things business has be great, and we have some new things in the shop:

Pretty creams and whites

Some fun new jewelry

Love this altered art sand shovel by local artist Jane Lynch

Some shell art pieces

WE ARE PLANNING A FALL/HALLOWEEN OPEN HOUSE AT THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING FUN FALL AND HALLOWEEN STUFF ALL YEAR. AND WE WILL BE UNVEILING SOME NEW PILLOWS AND OTHER ONE OF KIND ITEMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON, SO STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO!!!
