Well - we made it through our first day and, man, it was totally *awesome*! At 10:02, we flipped the sign and stepped outside for a little post-opening photo shoot. Even though we had a momentary *thing* when the shop opened, it was short-lived for Gary because he had to get back work... 
The "Coming Soon" sign is all gone.... The 4272 is about 45 minutes from disappearing too (watch the door)...
The "Open" sign sees the light of day for the first time!
My beautiful daughter, whose help made it possible for us to open on time (love you, Holly Bear!)...
A gift from MyDonna (she's carries doggy treats on her platter)...
The 4272 is gone - replaced by our logo. It was too cold to go outside and take the picture, so (I know, I'm a lightweight)...
We opened today without advertising or announcing anything formally because we still need some time to work out any kinks that might come up. In spite of that and, in spite of the waves of afternoon blizzardry we kept getting hit with, we still had lots of great visitors from the neighborhood pop in to shop and give us lots o' love. So - thanks to the Berkeley Park community for being so warm and welcoming on this blustery spring day!
I had so much fun today - I think I'll go back and do it again tomorrow!

Congrats Shannon!! So exciting. Next time we have a book gift to give we will be driving over to get it from you.
Whee! Congratulations! I wish you so much success on all your hard work. It looks wonderful and I hope it becomes THE place to be for the neighborhood.
