Hello, March!

5 Mar

Wow! February went by in a flash! We spent much of the month working on renovations. We managed to cross quite a few items off our to-do list and of course, added a few new projects to boot.

The weather is glorious right now in Vancouver. We’ve had our front windows papered over since we first leased our space and on Wednesday we decided, enough is enough, we must see light! We took the paper down and put up some curtains so we can keep the inside of our store a bit of surprise and let some of the natural light in.

I spent the afternoon cutting out paper letters and with a little tape and baker’s twine, we strung up our shop’s name and website.

Full window at night

The entire project was completed under the close supervision of our dog, Sugar.

It looks like it is time to get back to that to-do list! We hope you have a great weekend!

    Hello Spool of Thread, I have just been made aware of you through a fellow crafting friend. Wow, what an exciting adventure to undertake. I had thought of opening a similar shop on the North Shore but decided to start an etsy store.
    I look forward to the opening and wish you much success.
