"Then & Now" Celebrating Our 22nd Year in Business!!!

We are celebrating our 22nd year in business. "Our Anniversary". That's right, on September 20th 1987, my mother and I opened our store (Needless to say one month later on October 20th, 1987 the market crashed). Luckily, 22 years later, we are still here and we are now in a "Recession"...some even say a "Depression". Some things never change!!! But enough of the negativity. I am here to celebrate and I invite you to take a trip down memory lane with me...





I thought you might like to see some Past and Present photos. From the looks of these photos, we were really into "Geese". Country Blue & Pink were "Big". Evidence...our first "Window"...Geese and Country!!! I can't believe how we've changed in 22 years. Now, we like to mix the new with the old {Too bad we sold all of my grandmothers stuff at a yard sale when she came to live with us}. Now, we go to every yard sale, estate sale, church fair, etc... trying to buy all that stuff back that we sold for 25 cents. Go Figure!!!
