Entertainment over...
Hard working friend, gone.
Sad,sad,sad, so sad.Very sad.SAD.
I'm am happy to report, however, that we had a very successful Grand Opening. Four days of entertaining our clients, old and new. Four days of replenishing inventory after busy days. Four days of making our refreshing drink (compliments of my daughter, Jessie's recipe), and four days of nightly baking.
As promised, here is the recipe for Jessie's refreshing and super easy drink! (The glass samovar helps make it glamorous, and shortly, you can purchase your own from Black-eyed Susan).
One two litre bottle of Sprite Zero
One packet (pitcher size) crystal light lemonade
One sliced cucumber (I think it's prettiest sliced on the diagonal)
Plenty of ice!
We had many great responses and good reactions to our new and larger space. More room for jewelry! More room for vintage furniture finds! More room for accents, small and large. More room for art and mirrors! More room for my design studio and all of my favorite resources!
I'll have to say that I'm looking forward to having a wee bit more calm life. The old space is completely empty, the new space completely redesigned and merchandised (that is, for this moment!). After all, more traffic means more sales and more sales means more work...you get the picture. The Princeton Designer House is progressing (so far, without any appearances from me, but I hope to resolve that issue this week), and it does, indeed, seem like life could take on a bit slower pace.
I hope you'll take time to come by the new retail space and see it for yourself. We're settling in and beginning to feel quite at home...even have visions of turning some additional space into something fun. Christmas has begun to come in the back door (yes, truly) and it feels like summer is upon us. Thanks for all the support and for the many personal visits and wishes for success.
This image give you some idea of the end of the day...grand opening completed! Change is always a constant at Black-eyed Susan. If you come often, you'll see new inspirations and changes all around. Come see the magic.

Sorry I missed it. Very hard this weekend for me. But I'm so happy for you my friend.
I love your beautiful crystal samovar. A good wedding punch, perhaps?
It was so nice to see many months of hard work come together. I think great things will happen with this new location. A fun grand opening, even if I did eat a few too many brownies and macaroons!
I'm always sad to leave my dear friend, don't work too hard and I wish you the very best!
Happy Mother's Day!!!! Your mum would be proud!
I love that cucumber punch!
