Well it is Friday the 24th of June - the big Grand Opening Day! We have scrubbed and dusted, touched up paint, arranged and re-arranged and finally we just have to say "enough" and open our doors and let people see what we have accomplished. It is funny - I have gotten attached to some of these creative projects and it is hard to let them go but it is comforting to know they will go to happy homes where they will be appreciated and loved.

It is during these big events in my life that I so appreciate my family for all their love and support. My husband, besides moving furniture, and moving out of his shop to make space for this endeavor is my go to guy for all things business. My oldest daughter flew home from Alaska and has not stopped running since she got off the plane, my younger daughters have baked, cleaned, stamped and delivered flyers. My dad has moved furniture, covered furniture for rain, and finished odds and ends jobs. My mother-in-law has dusted, cleaned and painted and my father-in-law has spread the serendip-i-ty word! Cheri and Amanda have encouraged and shopped with me, offered suggestions and contributed furniture and accessories. My brother has designed, drawn and painted and generally makes me look good. Finally, my aunts and uncles and cousins and good friends who will be here with me in person or in spirit , some traveling from out of town for this momentous weekend - thank you all.
But wait....I am missing one very important person who has been an incredible help and just happens to be my fifth and last friend and artisan....my mom, Glenda Pullen.
I wish this picture was clearer but it does a good job of capturing the love she gives freely to my youngest daughter in this picture and to all of us - all the time.
Many years ago my mom told my dad that it was her dream to open a Pier One and run it with me. Well this is no Pier One and it has taken more than twenty years but today we are working together to open serendip-i-ty!
My mom has instilled in me the the importance of creating a home that feels comfortable and reflects the style of all who share it. She has always created a home where our family can participate in the preparation of a good meal and feel comfortable inviting our friends, sharing in laughter and feeling pride in our accomplishments.
With her eye for detail she has created many beautiful pieces for this sale that I can't wait for you to see.
Hope to see you all at our Grand Opening tonight from 5-9 and
