Our new blog header

After many late nights chasing pixels, our logo is finalized, so good-bye to the blog banner with a photo of the beautiful cream rose from our garden:

and hello to our new banner, based on the big sign that will go over our shop:

We're hoping Sign Up Sign Company will be able to fit us into their schedule to come on Monday. Larry Ormbrek will actually bring the vinyl lettering and graphic and lay it out on the floor of The Living Room. Saves us trying to find a way of lugging a 12 foot by 4 foot sign board to his Bothell shop. Thanks, Larry! He and his wife, Susie, have been great to work with.

It was Laurie Sperry's really terrific idea to put our 3 target retail areas (furniture, art, tea & treats) on the window signs, rather than the overhead sign, since over the years, our specifics may morph, but our overhead sign will stay the same. Thanks, Laurie!

I was thinking about those 3 target markets:

Furniture relates to physical, practical necessities...

Art relates to the tug of beauty on our emotions and spirits, whispering...

Tea & treats relate to fellowship with other people...

Of course, all 3 overlap quite a bit, but there's me, categorizing and always looking for ways that the natural reveals facets of God's nature to us.

Love to you!
Katie
