The Shetlands Are Gone From Willow Garden
The last of my Shetlands left Willow Garden today.
Willow Garden Oliver Twist
Willow Garden Artful Dodger
and
Willow Garden Jean Harlowe
It isn't sad as it is part of my moving on. But it does seem weird after 12 years where Shetlands were a huge focus in my life ... to now have none! I wish that I'd been able to share tonight with Gene ... but I am sure that he was there. Approving.
A HUGE thank you to my friend Cathy Gallivan for taking Jean. I couldn't sell this ewe ... but also couldn't keep her. So Cathy came to the rescue ... :-)
Life is good!

The Galloping Goat
Well, I have been pretty quiet on here during the month of July!
I've been really busy sprucing this place up to sell ... and working lots so that I have the cash to pay others to do the jobs that I don't want to do ... :-)
Lesley, the owner of the shop where I work, runs an art camp in July, so I get pretty much full time hours this month ... woo hoo!
The shop is called Galloping Goat. I LOVE working there ... and Otis gets to come to work with me ... :-)
Folks are always in a great mood when they enter the shop as the doors of the Barn are cover with 'joke' signs. I LOVE to listen to the laughter as they read the signs out loud. I never tire of that.
The shop is jam packed with eclectic and very cool stuff!
This is the toy section, complete with toys that were around when I was a kid ... and THAT was a few years ago ... :-)
We have a 50% off table, which is always fun ...
... and lots of jewelry
Above and below are the views when you walk through the barn doors. It almost over powers the senses!
Upstairs there is a large inventory of funky clothes ... in sizes for skinny teens ... AND fuller figured, more mature beauties ... ;-)
Lots of accessories as well!
... and a back room full of treasures.
I LOVE this shop ... and both Otis and I feel blessed to be able to work here ... :-)
Here are some of my favourite signs from the shop ... :-)
