We're Back!

        So, the store is closed, and we are getting a booth at Richmond Peddler's Mall. Hopefully, it will be awesome! Billy has been working on an amazing banner for it!! There he is up there working on his original sketch!
          He has also been working  on this awesome thing!!! It will be used as a backdrop when we go to festivals. Excuse the extra stuff all around, we had to move everything from the store up to our apartment. Ugh!

Long Time No See!

Saturday, our landlord informed us that our little shop (Lovers Live Longer Thrift Shop) is in danger of closing the doors this next coming Monday, unless we can come up with 900 dollars! Just a few days have passed since we posted a video on Facebook asking all of our fans to help keep our dream alive, and guess what?! We have already raised three hundred and seventy five dollars!! Here is a list of some of the outstanding things that people have done for us this week:

-Steve Hosfeld, of Hosfeld Jewelry has generously donated a beeeautiful hand-made hammered silver ring to be auctioned off-all proceeds to benefit Lovers Live Longer Thrift Shop! Bidding starts at $50!

-Crimson Duvall donated an AWESOME mug for us to auction off! Bidding starts at $25

-a cute Lexington couple is putting our flyers up all over town

-Our friends Sarah, Quaz, and Tiffany, have all volunteered to watch the store for us while we go out and get more stuff to sell

-The Black Feather Cafe is letting us set up a booth in front of their cute restaurant this weekend

-We even heard that a professor at EKU is giving extra credit to any of his students who comes to our store!

 

- We recieved a big anonymous donation in the mail today!!

Not to mention, all the amazing people who have come in to shop and all the far away friends who have bought things on our etsy shop! Everyone has just been so wonderful! 

                     

Home Alone

    Money has been tight around the Billy and Abbigail homestead as of late. We have been hustling especially hard lately.  It hasn't been the greatest time, but having your super true love by your side always makes it a lot easier...BUT NOW MINE IS GONE!!!!
        Just out of town for a few days, but it feels like he will be gone for years.  We had a wonderful opportunity come up to screenprint t-shirts, which has been a dream of ours since the beginning. Now, Billy is off to do it, and it is very very VERY exciting!!! And hopefully will bring the cash money fairy to our door!!!
     Although, I am happy about this new venture, I miss my other half. There is a good side to this though, it's a perfect opportunity for surprises for Billy Joe, like an exceptionally organized house and a clean shop (if I get half way to this goal, I will be pleased!).
       I am definitely overwhelmed with the shop right now. The whole front area is full of donations to sort and put up, but I will get through it. It will keep my mind off the big hole in my heart.

Books

   Lots of reading and looking to books for inspiration has been going on around here lately. These are two of Billy's favourite books by Adam Rex up there. I have been reading Sabriel by Garth Nix,  a book I loved when I was about thirteen. I am a definitely a repeat reader, I can read my favourites over and over again. I have probably read A Wrinkle in Time about forty times, and I love it every time.
