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...

Thank you guys!
Yeah on the bathroom :) It's small but it works!
The backroom is pretty big, it will fit one of my cutting tables, 2 large industrial machines, and it has 2 closets on both sides of the wall for the fabric. I don't have a great pic. of it so I didn't post one.
