What's new at Work and Wild about Harry

OK, so that's not the most clever title in the book, but it cover's the two topics of this post.  First off, a few pics from work, as least weekend was a grueling, day and a half marathon of furniture, moving, vacuuming and grunting and groaning of the likes that have not been seen in say, oh...six months ago or so.  But well worth the work involved.  Come on it and take a peep.

The store has a more open feel to it and it seems, well, bigger.  And it was a mere matter of moving a handful of basic pieces.  This display in the center catches your eye as you pass the check out counter.
 
Here is a little farther back shot.  See how open?  LOVE those cotton ball stems.  Hard to see that they are fake.  One customer was very disappointed to hear that today....she really thought they were real.

Here is a peep into some of our booth.  Sister's Beach Area is awash in calm blues and a wee bit of warm red. 
 
While "The Conservatory" area pulls in grays, black and sage greens.

LOVE that bird print there.  Very "botanical". 

The numbered and lettered balls have been a big hit. 

And we've got a wee bit of blue thrown in for good measure.

And you can't have blue and not have pink.  I especially love Sis's bird cage display board.  Pretty and functional. 

One of my little nest paintings.

And a paper garland that you've seen before.

As well as a painted frame.  I never get tired of the pink and brown combo, to me its a classic.
Back out to the main part of the floor again.

This bright, fun area is "simply diva-fine". 

And what was once the kids area is now the French Country Bedroom!  Ooh-la-la.  Can't wait for the new bedding to arrive.  The colors are mustard, black and red.  Very french.

And we do love to think "green", as this area shows.

A new gourmet food section is fun.  And looks tasty to boot.  And I can't wait to see how the new dip "chiller's" and "warmers" sell.  No more messy bowls of ice or over sized crocks to deal with. 

And a shameless plug, for our pretty, stitched tea towels.  LOL

Hope you have enjoyed the tour.  If you live in the area, pop in.  You won't believe the changes "in store".  Ha.

And tomorrow, tomorrow, there's Harry, tomorrow...its only a day away.  Yep, HP & the Half-Blood Prince starts tomorrow and I can't wait.  Seems like I've been waiting fur-ever for this one.  The plus side of hubby being home...matinee baby!  LOL.  I can hardly wait. 

Happy (hey, I just looked and yep, its) Wednesday!

What a beautiful store. A girl could spend hours there and probably not see everything. Well worth the work you put in! It shows!

I cannot believe you went to see HP...you are so odd :)

I was at the store cause they thought you were heading back...but didn't see you...maybe another day.

I think my fav is the gourmet food area....but it is all cool--winding paths through everything. the FRONT looks especially nice.

Wow, everything looks great. I would be a regular at the store for sure! Maybe have a bite to eat, too! You and your sister are so talented. The pictures look like they belong in a magazine spread. So much to look at!
My daughter went to an advanced screening of HP. She went again last night with friends. She loves HP, I guess she is not alone. he he he .
I hear it is hot in Texas, stay cool!

Can I have your life? Just for a day or so, an hour maybe? If I worked where you do, I would abandon my family and never come home! Start a chain and put one of these heavenly stores near me! Beautiful pictures, beautiful post!
