I can't believe it is Wednesday!  Geezzz time really does fly.  I have been so busy getting everything ready for this coming weekend that I didn't get to post anything about our first outing last week.  First let me just say:

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

to all the people that came and checked us out in Raleigh.  It was a blast and could not have asked for a better turn out.  We got to meet so many great interesting people. 

Whew... now that, last week is over, we have picked our selves back up and are ready to do it all over again for this Saturday!  We will be in Hillsborough, NC at Hog Day!  We are very excited, as this will be our first time as a vendor.  Come check us out and show us some love!

ENJOY!

XOXO

EEEeeeekkkk.

Everything is coming together, as it should be!  Unfortunately we had a monsoon of rain come our way today, which totally didn't help at all, so I was not able to work out side any.  When I say monsoon, I mean the rath of God came pouring down over lil' ole Durham.  The tree's were blowing and the sky was dark as night.  I honestly felt like Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz, and could have been blown away at any moment.  I just hope this bad weather passes through!  I have been frequently checking the weather and up to this point it is suppose to be a high of 81 and sunny.  Fingers crossed!

On another note since I am stuck in the house, I have been trying my hand at baking.  I am trying to be domesticated, but it just isn't working in my favor.  So far my first cake that I made turned into a epic failure!  When I flipped the pan over, the entire cake fell out, crumbling all to pieces everywhere.  At least the dogs got a little bit of heaven.  I'm on cake number two, and if I keep up at the rate, I guess I will be back at the store with a buggy full of cake mixes.  All I have to say is thank the heavens I am not opening a cake shop or we would all be in some trouble!

Enjoy!

XOXO

ATTENTION PLEASE!  

LET THE COUNT DOWN BEGIN!

It's about that time for the beauty to make her grand appearance.  We have our first outing this Mother's Day weekend at the Raleigh, NC State Fair Grounds.  Super excited. Super pumped. Now just need to tidy a few loose ends up and we will be ready to hit the road on Friday!

Hope to see you there!

Enjoy!

I been feeling the pressure lately!  It is coming down to the final two weeks before the 1st big outing.  The more I think about it the more anxious I get.  No matter how ready I think I am, I always think there will be something I need to fix, or could do better.

Just breath. Count backwards.

OK.  As my BF said last week "Meghan get your self together". Ha.  Sometimes that is all it takes.

I've been trying to brain storm on what kind of music to play in the shop.  Music really is everything.  I love it when I go into one of my favorite shops, and then all of a sudden one of my jams is playing.  It's GREAT!  I am known for singing out loud to them.  I guess it can be embarrassing, depending on who you ask.  Maybe a little country, rock and roll, or a mix.

I have recently been jamming out to Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy".  Not really sure why, but I can take a guess. Ha.  I decided when that song comes on, I have a tendency to get more deep into my creative ways or maybe it has become brain washed in my head that the shop has reminds people of gypsies.  Ehhhh, I don't mind, I would take someone calling me a free spirt/dreamer any day!

Enjoy!
XOXO

Rainy day's aren't going to slow this girl down.  I must say that I much rather have a sunny day on the weekend than a rainy one, however I am using this day to my full advantage.  I have the music turned up, got the designer bug, and I have the screen print machine going.

I am obsessed with these little towels.  I'm not really sure... haha, maybe it's the cute sayings, bright colors, and how soft the they are.  I cheated and snagged one for my self.  I think the one below fits me perfectly!  I even saw my mother in the shop last week, showing one of our family friends some of the goodies for the big Mother's Day sale, and she just so happen to sneak one one in a goodie bag for him.

They are just about all done.  I need to iron them, wrap them up, place a tag around them, and then we will be good to go!

Hope your Sunday is just as fabulous!

Enjoy.

XOXO

well well well.... boy have I had a busy day Saturday! I drove down to Charlotte to do a little pick'n for the shop, and boy did I find some goodies!  I think it would be a under statement to tell you that this place had a bunch of "stuff", however I felt right at home.  It was wonderful!  There were acres and acre's of beautiful junk, antiques, and anything else you could think of.  The sun was shining, the weather was nice, the cowgirl boots on, and I was off and on my way for the hunt.

The boyfriend and I stayed for a full three hours.  When we first showed up it was so OVERWHELMING.  You know the feeling when it's Christmas and you can't sleep because you are so excited to open your presents the next morning.  This is exactly how I felt but it was even better.  There were so many of my favorite things that I honestly did not know where to even begin.  As I would sift through one pile I would catch a glimpse of something peaking out from below a bucket, and would eagerly rush to un-bury it.  

I was able to find some great treasures for the shop, and I hope that the people who they find a home with, enjoys them as much as I did when I saw them!  

That is beauty in finding things you love!

Enjoy.

XOXO 

Happy Tuesday! wahoo!

yes, I know... I have not been on here for a while.  To be honest it has been way to long.  I am proud to announce that the Go Girl Shoppe, is starting to take shape, and she is almost ready to take her first step out in public.  Eeeeekkk, I am so excited I can hardly wait.  I must say that it has been nothing but some blood,sweat, and tears on this one!  There have been some times where I have doubted my self, but I guess there is no looking back now!

If you can't already tell from the photo below that she has already made a huge transformation, from what she used to look like!  We had our first photo shoot a couple of weeks ago, for our future advertising projects!  So what do ya think?!?


Enjoy!
