Shopping friends
This is my friend, Karen, and her mother, Lynn shopping at MaryJanes new store. I will post more another day. I am tired from moving stuff around today...will also post pics of this later.
Flour sacks and more
This wood rack held the cutest fabric envelopes of flour sacks and tea towels. The colors were bright and crisp. Very nice.
Potholder envelopes
These fabric envelopes held vintage looking crocheted potholders...they looking amazingly as if they had come from grandma's kitchen 40 years ago.
Gated headboard
An old metal gate fits perfectly on a twin sized bed as a headboard. This bed sat in one of the windows in the store.
Candles and sewing
Isn't this little sewing machine a great one? Behind it sits a table loaded with the bestest smellin' candles I have ever smelt! The apple was amazingly real.
MJ, Me, & Meg
MaryJane, on left, was wearing an antique wedding dress...it was very pretty. I am next and I don't usually have such a cleavage showing...this shirt does this on me, so I am going to add a piece of lace across there! Then there was Megan, with her belly sticking out...what a cute pregnant farmgirl!
Red Wall
This wall is behind the counter where you purchase goods. Some of us were trying to figure out what the rack had been in its previous life. Here is holds glass charms on chains. Farm girl poster filled up large place on the wall, as well.
What would a party be without Chocolate?
Drink troughs
On the left is the "done drank it all" tub. Then on the right are the bottles ready to drink. There were four flavors of which I can only remember what I had, which was pomegranate. These were out in the mall area, next to the store.

The Farm Truck
This truck is now in the Coeur d' Alene Resort Mall in downtown CdA, Idaho. It is here to advertise the opening of MaryJane Butters new "farms style" linen store. The opening is tomorrow. Karen and I will head down to check it out. I will wear my apron, Karen probably won't. She gets too embarrassed for that.
If any of you gals plan on traveling here to see the store, please go to my travel website (I am a referring travel agent) to check out my great prices on travel...I just might be able to save you a few bucks...which will give you more to spend in the store! No kidding...we do have great prices, so bookmark it and come to see me everytime you are traveling, sending flowers, buying tickets to an event, need a hotel room and more. I am at:

It would mean alot to me to have your business.
Trying to be humble...
but a touch of lil 'ol me is right in the front door. Yes, just as you enter the store there is a mannequin wearing one of my handmade crowns. This one says "Apron Queen." Now, pics that I tried to take inside of the store are not so good, as there was not much lighting because the store was closed. Anyhooo...this crown is covered in glass glitter and has started to turn a nice olde tarnished silver color.
Thanks, MaryJane, for having a bit of me in your shop. I am honored.
Pretty packaging
Nice job on the packaging, I think. Good enough to give as a gift, just as it is! I believe this was sheets.
A teaser
Karen and I both loved these linens...they look olde...just like we like 'em! These were on the bed that sits up on the bed of the truck.
Back of the truck
The store is to the left side of this truck. You can enter through the back door of the resort mall, which is across from free parking (is it is under two hours).

Praying Founder
Here is the Founder of YTB, a former preacher, Lloyd "Coach" Tomer. He is praying here at the end of the church service they had on Sunday after the convention. What an inspriring man he is. His mantra "If it is not right, don't do it, if it is not true, don't say it."
