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?

There were a wide variety of MaryJanes Organic chocolates/bars available to taste. I wished I had taken this photo when first arrived because the platters were full.

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:
www.thomstravel.com
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.

Romantic Farmstyle

This sign was on the back of the truck.

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).

Side of truck

This one side of the truck in the mall.

But of course

This would be the licence plate on the farmtruck!

Goods

Budget Mix & Towels

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."

Life size Ladies

These life sized ladies were special awards for people who did really well in YTb this past year. Aren't they great?

Here we are with our Directors

Tim and I are in the middle and Darren and Jennifer are on the ends. They are our YTB Directors and are the ones responsible for us finding YTB, by way of Jennifer's parents and our good friends Jon and Karen. Darren made director in 4 1/2 months...a record. They borught their two 1/2 week old daughter with them, Jordan.
This photos was taken at the end of the convention.

Balloon dropping

This was so neat...thousands of red, white, and blue ballons dropping at the close of convention. They all had the YTB logo or the statue of liberty on them.

Us with Lady Liberty

Here we are in front of the replica of the Statue of Liberty that YTB had made for our national travel convention. It reached to the top of the Edward Jones Dome.

Fireworks

They even had fireworks as part of the beginning ceremony. It was beautiful

Statue of Liberty Unveiled

This was one very exciting convention opening ceremony! I LOVED it. So patriotic. The choir was singing "God Bless America." There were red, white, and blue spot lights flashing around. The crowd was waving their American flags and their lady liberty flashlights.
SPECTACULAR!
Our company is called YTB, which stands for Your Travel Biz. We are referring travel agents. We simply tell people if they like to travel, please go to our website and compare prices with other internet based travel sites. Then we make a commission on the bookings. We also sell these travel stores, just like ours, to others who want to make some extra money. Then they can refer their family and friends to their own site to book travel. It is an amazing opportunity and we feel so blessed to have found this company. They really do care about their people and represent the highest of integrity. Thanks YTB!

YTBU

This is one of the great looking props they had all around the convention center. YTBU was what they called the classes we took for the first two days of the convention.

Free YTb Backpacks for ALL

Here is the area where we picked up our free back packs. They were red and blue, following with the patriotic theme. These came filled with all kinds of goodies!
They came sound in this luggage spinner, just like at the airport! Too fun, huh?

Entrance

This is the first thing you see after you park. From here you walk up the hill and begin to find treasures to take home.
I just love a picket fence.

Pretty Porch

Nice job on the front porch, very welcoming!
