And So It Goes...

A combination of a sore throat and a smokey fire pit has left me without much a voice this Monday morning. In earlier years such an ailment would have been the result of wild parties, concerts, and outlandish consumption.  This weekend I went to a baby shower, listened to NPR and drank a grand total of 2 mildly offseason bottles of beer.  Oh how times change.  Nevertheless I find myself unable to talk but still with so much to say.

I contacted my old connection at the Always Be Inspired Thrift Shop and Unique Boutique.  For those of you who have read my blog you'll remember they are the first store to ever feature Avery Gray Designs on their shelves.  For those of you just tuning in, don't worry, it's all archived.  Blogspot is like the Netflix of the internet.  Start binge reading at your earliest convenience.  Apparently some landlord/tenant issues have led to the closing of the store, which is not slated to be reopened elsewhere anytime soon.  So basically like a bad breakup: I'll get my box of unsold stuff back with a note saying "it's not you, it's me"

That does throw into focus that my items ARE still on shelves elsewhere, namely Octpus's Garden in Milville.  I really need to update their inventory.  October 13th this is going to become my priority.  What better way to nurse a birthday cake hangover than with a binding machine and paper cutter?
