There it is... The culmination of ton of freaking effort on the part of many people, The Shop.
Mint condition 1963 table and chairs. There is a matching buffet that goes with too...
Ashtrays. That's why everyone smoked in the 60's, it kept you thin, and the accouterments were so damn stylish...
We told Miles he was the security manager. He takes his job very seriously, sneaking up to me to ask "Are those teenagers? Should I follow them around?"
Note the blue paint in the hair, he was helping me paint our open sign.
Lampy goodness.
Butterfly cups. And orange stuff. Things are color coordinated as of yet, Green clusters, blue clusters, etc. I kinda like it.
Velvet couch, very yellow.
Giant metal cock! Dunno why this is vintage, but I like his beady eye and angry visage keeping watch over things.
So far, so good. After a week of work, we have managed to turn a tiny profit. Profit = earning more per day than the rent+ loan divided by the number of days in the month.
Combined with my bakery job (hello 3 am, how interesting to see you as the start of my day rather than bed time...) I'm working like 70 hours a week now. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh......
But the shop stuff is way laid back, so it isn't killing me yet.

awesome Kathleen!!!!
how amazing to have your own shop front.
lucky girl!
Oh my gosh! I am dying. Your stuff is awesome. If I'm ever in Flagstaff again, I'm coming by!
How great! The only thing that would make that velvet couch better, would be the plastic that the owner probably had on it! I hated sitting on that damn stuff!
HA Shana, you are so right! Nothing like the backs of your thighs sticking while you had to sit still and listen to boring grown up talk. Then, when the conversation got exciting, outside it was...
Kathleen - thanks for dropping by my blog. I just spent some time checking out yours. Can I tell you how jealous I am of you?!? Your shop looks fabulous, and I will definitely be stopping by next time were passing through Flag. My in-laws are on the Hopi rez, so the Giant on Butler is our regular pitstop. Oh, and Buster's, when I get my way.
We just missed each other time-wise...I went to grad school at NAU '94-'97. You got out shortly after I moved in :-). I really miss Flag, but moving back is not an option for us. Stuck here in the damn desert (sigh)...
Anyway, I assume your shop is listed, so I will be looking it up on our next drive-by. Any excuse to stall and ultimately shorten total time spent with my M-I-L works for me!
Wow, is this your store? Very cool stuff!!
