I'm about to be <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">REAL</span></span></span> sappy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, you caught me ... I'm the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;">MOST</span></span> <i>mushy-gushy</i> person you'll EVER meet. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And today, I've spent so much time <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(ALONE)</span></span> organizing my home office and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">THINKING</span></span> about how I'm the luckiest gal in the world. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have just been given the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">GREATEST</span></span> opportunity ever by one of my favorite people in this entire world ... my mama. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now let me just give y'all a little background on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">US</span> ... I'm the oldest of 3 girls ... And we have <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;">ALL</span></span> always been exceptionally close <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">AND</span></span></span> exceptionally close to our mama. We were so lucky growing up ... our parents were always supportive of us in whatever we chose to do. So when I went to grad school and then decided <i>NOT</i> to use my Masters degree in counseling <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(the little kids absolutely broke my heart)</span> <i>ALL</i> of my parents (I have 2 <u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">FAB</span></u> step-parents as well) were very supportive and told me to do what would make happy ... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And now ... at age 27, I am <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">WORKING</span></span></span> alongside my mother, whom I have always looked up too ... a lady I have always tried to make proud in everything that I do. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So today, I've been thinking about being lucky ... and thankful. And I just wanted to share with all of you ... my bloggie friends! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

New store!<div style="text-align: center;">Y'all I know that we've mentioned before how excited we are about opening the new location .... But I'm not 100% that you understand!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">THRILLED</span></span></span>! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I'm going to sign all the paperwork ... And the store will be officially open on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;">January 17th</span></span>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We've spent countless hours planning out exactly what this space will look like ... Now it's crunch time and we are so ready to slap some paint on the walls and start loading the space <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">FULL</span></span> of our <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">FAVORITE</span></span> things!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So a few de<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">tails ... The store will actually be located in a local store </span><a href="http://www.artisansshoponline.com/index2.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Artisans</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> here in Greenville, NC.

It doesn't have any booth with the shabby chic cottage style that The PC has! We are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;">TOO</span></span> excited to add what we think is a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">FABULOUS</span></span></span> style to this store!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
