Common thread...

So I was going to post this yesterday but got caught up in the business of running a business and forgot. Anyway, as it would happen we had an incident of shoplifting today and guess what she stole...? Yes, the thread in the picture! It was such an interesting thing to steal, mini spools of vintage thread, not exactly a classic shoplifting item, although I do understand it's sparkly allure!
One can see such incidents one of two ways, either it's a slap in the face and it ruins your day or you can take in stride and roll with the punches. Today I turned the other cheek and seemed to see the humanness in it all... boy, am I going soft?

Love is in the air...

I know I've been out of the blogging loop lately but sometimes you just don't have anything to say...
This morning I came into the shop after not being here for 4 days and became overwhelmed by my wonderful staff. The shop was exactly the way it should be. I feel so lucky to have found great, talented and motivated people to share the shops with! Of course this isn't a new thing , from the first day of opening the ABC shop almost 5 years ago I have had the pleasure of being supported by wonderful people who LOVE the shops as much as I do.
I feel lucky!
