Christ is risen!

Wishing you a joyous Resurrection Sunday tomorrow! If Christ had not risen from the dead, we would be without hope. But join me in celebrating our Living Hope.

Wasn't today's cloudless sky a wonder? So good to look out the shop window and--much as I love big, puffy, cumulus clouds--see not one wisp in all the sky. Hope you were able to enjoy it, too, and thanks to all who made The Living Room part of your sunny, Saturday rounds!

Going home now to make borsht for my daughter's birthday dinner. Here's a photo patchwork I made of a few of our consignments for you to enjoy until we re-open next Tuesday :^) See you then!

                                                                               

Weather worth waiting for. New consignments inside, as well.

Glorious clouds over Kenmore, April 2011

Waiting in the doorway to wave in a consignor who was finding us for the first time, I was blessed by the beauty of the April sky. Amazing that a little camera can capture such a good representation of this glory.

Meanwhile, back in the shop, we're pushing things around, as usual, to make room for items coming and going. Here are some of the new "comings":
