And today they sent a lovely lady to take pictures of me as we sort out the move to Clayfield. it's all go at the moment. Talk soon ... Debra

Closer and closer....

Well July 2 is getting closer and closer. That is the day we open at 682 Sandgate Road Clayfield. The painters have been, Mark is building shelves and we are well on the way. Sign writers next followed by electricians with brighter lights. For now.. here is what it looks like.

Well the new shop is coming along nicely...

Well there new shop is coming along nicely.. but some times you have to stop along the way to smell the roses..... or in this case watch the lunar eclipse. Mark photographed this from our back deck the other night. Isn't it just amazing? Talk soon. Debra.

Rome wasn't built in a day...

Well Rome wasn't built in a day... and it seems our new Spirit of Life Boutique at Clayfield is in the same category. However, having said that... it is coming along nicely. The painters have been and gone... so all fitting rooms built, office/reserve built and all painting down. We chose Rochelle Painting and wow have they done a great job. I could highly recommend them to anybody needing painting. A very professional operation. Next step are the signs.. and here is a mock up for our sign writer. When you are heading outbound on Sandgate Road... this is what you will see. Tomorrow Telstra (at last!) will be sorting our phone connection which will also give us our new number. If we have your address son file you will get a change of address notice in the mail from us in the next few weeks. Countdown to July 2... One month today and we're open. Stay tuned a

nd we'll keep you up to date. Debra.

Today is much better... and Clayfield looks better!

Well after my unexpected dental surgery yesterday.... I am feeling much better today! And the work on our new Clayfield shop continues to look better every day. The plaster walls are up on our fitting rooms and the doors have been fitted. Mark has put a couple of signs in the windows to tell of our moving in and this reminds me... We will be closed on the last Friday in June to commence our move. Iam hoping that the shop will be ready for painting late next week and then we turn to the sign writers. This is an exciting and challenging time for me... onwards and upwards says Mark! Debra

And on a positive note...

And on a positive note.. my little dog Dorothy turns 11 today. I still remember Mark & I collecting her from the airport. This lovely little ball of fluff who grew to enchant me totally. I had never really been a "dog person" until Mark arranged to get her from Condoblin in NSW. But within an hour of bringing her home.. she was "my dog" much to Mark's surprise. Her picture appears along with me on our newsletters and a lot of ladies ask me how my little dog is going. Well at 11 she is just fine. Runs around the house hiding my slippers and is always there to greet me at the end of each day. Happy Birthday Dorothy!

A day I would like to forget...

Well the progress at Sandgate Road continues... today our friends from Pearson Sellwood group transferred our old chandelier from Milton to Clayfield. (Picture below) And the sheeting on the walls is coming along nicely. Sounds good.. well it is except I broke a tooth today and had to make an emergency trip to the dentist. End result is.. I haven't had tooth extracted since I was around 10.. I forgot what an awful experience it is. Feeling really sorry for myself now.. mouth full of wadding and tummy full of panadols. never mind.. tomorrow is another day. Debra
