Take a deep breath..............

We tweaked and fussed and then said bugger it..........


We've stressed and sweated and then said oh well.......



The final touches have been started but sometimes left until another time............


We've decided that we can't put it off any longer, it's time.......we are officially............



......on Saturday!!!!

16 house: CHALKBOARDS

16 house: CHALKBOARDS
We are a tiny bit obsessed with chalkboards at thread and seed so this post is heaven in a blog.........

Loose ends.....

The week has finally arrived when we can no longer put it off.....


I'd like to say we have everything all sorted and now we are opening but it has come time to just take the leap, undone bits and all!!! We have quite a long list of things still to do but it's a sort of ongoing, never-ending type of list that feels like it's growing and not getting any smaller.


We will open this week


We just need to work out when..............

wait staff in training........

Long overdue update.....(as usual)

We are sooooo close to being able to give a specific date for our opening. It will be within the next 2 weeks (for those that I told within 2 weeks 2 months ago I really mean it this time!!!) We've been plugging away getting through the 'to do list' at what seems like snails pace.


Today we have crossed off a few more things and I think that it's been a good day. We spent the day with someone that is as excited (possibly more) as we are, someone that reignites the stuff in me that started this crazy journey. It's nice to be around someone that is inspiring.


Perhaps we'll get more crossed off tomorrow, but I think it's going to be one of those add more to the list days. It's getting close so hang in there we'll show all soon....
