    looking for a good window washer for the boutique—our shopping plaza faces west and by 4:00 it looks like I’ve given up cleaning glass for Lent.

    if you're headed south today and planning to check out our shop, plan for surface roads. we're learning new things about traffic all the time.

    a customer recommended A Little Dude Ranch for kid-friendly horseback riding, so we went this weekend to see. adorable place, very welcoming. now we need riding boots in toddler size. anyone local carry them?

    nobody warned me about the bin inspectors. i thought i was clever putting cardboard in my regular recycling. they’ve been standing outside my shop since tuesday.

    looking for a good local sign shop to help me redo the storefront. tried the sticker route—now it looks like a Galaxy E3 student did it on a rainy day.

    went to the back-to-school party in the park thinking it’d be good for networking. left with three business cards and a snow cone stain. not worth it.

    looking for hurricane prep tips for a first-time shop owner. my house is ready, but I have no idea what to do for the store. do I board up? haul inventory home? help.

    looking for a printer who won’t break the bank but can still get me professional-looking tags and signs. i’m using the old corporate copier from before Exit 61 and it’s older than my store.

    opened the shop late today because i was scrubbing crayon off the dressing room wall. we’re between barn season and snowbird season. kids still find a way.

  • Newcomers

    moved here for our shop and we’re still figuring out where to find things. is there a secret to parking at Walmart Garden Center or do I just accept being six miles from the cart return forever?
