Candy Cane Lane - Clarion Hotel

I am at Candy Cane Lane put on by the Jr. Aux League of Bentonville this weekend. NWA Motherlode came by our booth to do an interview with Heather Hill. I am at the 2:30 mark :)

Halloween Night

The girls dressed up as a bride and a cave girl. We all went trick or treating at neighborhoods that had houses next to each other...(since we live in the boonies).

Carving Pumpkins

Last night the girls carved their pumpkins.

Downtown Trick or Treating

The businesses downtown give out candy every year. Since we now have a shop downtown we handed out flyers and some candy (we only bought 2 bags and there were over 4000 people...now we know!).
I walked around with the kids and eventually we made it up to our church. They were doing a Trunk or Treat in the parking lot.

This is Elise's friend Reece - they love to play with each other at church.

Madison's Halloween Party at School

This time around we went to Madison's school for her Halloween party. She made a craft and then they had all their treats...unfortunately after the party we all went to get a flu shot.

The New Home of Heather Hill

Last week I signed the lease to a new shop. I had looked at the store last month and the price was good but I needed to think about what I wanted to do next with the business (since my lease is going to be up in Rogers in Dec.). The Mon. after my Holiday Inn show, J and I looked at the store with the realtor. She told us the price had gone done (almost by 1/2 they had quoted last month) and that another man had already signed most of the papers although he was still in a lease and was trying to get out. However on Thurs. night the realtor called and said he couldn't get out of his lease and we were the next in line...did we want it? So Fri. I signed the papers to the storefront downtown.

There is alot of work to be done - mostly painting...but I do have almost every fixture and display.


This is the store front - this year they are rebuilding the 6 lofts above me. Also, a huge restaurant Amelia's is opening 2 doors down from me.

This nook will become a dressing room.

Through that door is a backroom where I will have all my machines and fabric.

The inside front view.

and don't forget the bathroom...

Bendaroos

Madison bought with her birthday gift cards these Bendaroos and I have to say they are great "toy" for her! She has never been a kid to just sit and play with something, she always wants to make things... so last night she was working on this and wanted me to post it to the blog for her.
It's her Under the Sea collection!
