Buttercup update

Opening day Friday June 25th! I had a few customers! Saturday they were driving down the driveway one after another. I couldn't believe it. Not everyone bought something but that was okay- at least people came. To think all we did was put a sign up. It's an encouraging start. So far the sales have been mostly jewelry but I did sell 1 birdhouse, potpourri , baby bears and a couple of tin flower pockets. This weekend was 4th of July and it was not so good. Only a few customers the whole weekend. I think people had better things to do than come to Buttercup. I can't imagine what!
We're working on a press release and maybe do some advertising to get out the word.
So I puttered around , painted the bench blue, the chicken pink and the birdhouse up on the little shelf blue and yellow. Decorated the doors and did some rearranging inside. I also met with a roofer. Still waiting for the estimate. Here is a new picture of the store front. Also a shot of my garden. That's what I do in my spare time.Check out these cabbages! July 1st and we've already got the biggest cabbages I've ever seen. Lots of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, brussel sprouts, st. beans
( bunnies are nibbling), flowers and herbs. We even have wrens in the birdhouse.


I think the secret to this years garden is horse poop. We had a friend deliver a ton of great horse poop and the garden has gone ballistic. We are totally organic so we do have some bugs but what are you going to do. I hope there's plenty for all.
Next time - a few images of merchandise.
