oh happy snowy day...

it's been a strange winter in northeast ohio.  unusually warm with lots of rain.  i smiled as i awoke to freshly fallen snow today...

makes for a nice touch to our valentine's window. i didn't realize how much i liked the white stuff until it's existence has been scarce.  how's the snowfall in your area?

back in business

sarah and i were so relieved to see a clear parking lot as we pulled in.

i've lived in northeast ohio for a very long time. i'm used to snow. yet i am always amazed how it can temporarily bring life to a stand still. like freeze frame. like playing simon says. the good news...we are back to normal business hours. hope to see you soon.

rain, sleet, snow or hail...

i made to the store. barely.

as i tried to turn the wheel to pull into my usual space, my tires had other ideas. i might be stuck. i was pleasantly surprised to find this...

waiting on the cutting counter. it looks like the united states postal service keeps it's word. the deliveries have arrived...

closed until further notice

i had an inkling the weather forcasters were spot on this time when i heard the weather channel was sending a crew to cleveland. sure enough. this is the scene at the end of my home driveway...

right behind the snow plow is an amvet truck also stuck. behind that, the garbage truck. i think i will sit in my nice warm house and wait it out for awhile. i will post again as soon as i make it to the store. be safe please.

beauty from the inside out...

oh how i love when the snow waits to fall...

until i'm inside the store. it's so pretty looking out. i think the snowflake swirls falling in the front window were a good selection for january. although i must confess that wasn't such a hard decision here in cleveland, ohio. i just heard there was snow in 49 states today. we're thinking of our fellow shop owners out there in warmer climates not used to struggling with the snow. just try to remember, this too shall melt...it's just a matter of time:)
