Various types of sparkling waters - CHECK!

Empty cans of ALL the kinds of booze everywhere - DOUBLE CHECK

Forest mural - CHECK

Sickning light fixtures everywhere - CHECK (barf)

change the locks jimmy we're here!!

I've got keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys!!!  I can't begin to explain what this feels like.  This store has been years in the making, years of sacrifice,  working at a desk (and one sweet year of being a full time Mum). But now it actually feels really really real.  It makes my guts churn an almost satisfying way...yes I realise how gross that sounds.

Anyway, here is a definite new BFF Jimmy the super changing my lock at the store.  He also stayed all day on one of the hottest days of the year scraping windows, helping out and putting up with unsafe volume levels of CBC/ Q107/virgin radio for 7 hours straight.

we're home!

we did it! we have a store!!! these pictures were taken with my phone so they are pretty crappy, but i think that it adds to the ambiance.

i think i have to keep her and maybe put her in a frame as the store mascot?
