Out Of My Funk...
It was nasty cold today…you know, cold enough to, as they say, “freeze my *** off”. Must not be cold enough because I still have it! All joking aside, it WAS nasty cold today. I made Al stay in the house because he has his long time ticker troubles and I don’t think he should be out in this cold weather. Of course he pouted like a kid (for about 30 seconds) but since he’s retired there’s no reason he has to go out on a day like today…lucky him.
I spent my day working at the shop, cleaning, marking some stuff down and doing a little rearranging to get ready for new inventory coming in. The store always seems so empty to me in January. I know that’s the “goal”, to sell well during the holidays (so we can pay for Spring and on and on it goes) and clear out the remaining holiday merchandise as soon as possible. Still, every year after the trees are put away, the glitter is vacuumed up and one more holiday season is put to rest, I always feel a little bit sad…another year pouf! gone, gone, gone.
Lucky for me, there’s a new year in the making and my little bit of sadness is gone in short order. It’s time to start bringing in lots of fabulous vintage finds I have been out hunting for. I love the door opening to let the UPS or Fed Ex guy come in with a nice big stack of boxes full of new stuff. All of it pulls me out of my funk quicker than you can say I love Spring! I know it’s still says January on the calendar but my heart says April…k
