haven't felt the flutter...

If you've heard that fancy that! must be closing because their front room is a mess, well at least part of that is true! The front room is a mess...in fact it is in boxes! And we are making way for a big change in that space.


Now don't frowny-face me...we are aiming to retain the peaceful, comforting feeling that you have come to expect about our front room, but admit it...the floor plan, the fabrics, the furniture...it's all the same ol'-same ol'. And the same ol'-same ol' is brining me down. We need a change...I need a change. So here it comes...I can't tell you what exactly it is that is coming, but I'll know it when I feel it and see it. Merchandise is arriving from here and there and shipping dates are not all exactly what we would have chosen, but this makes it more of an adventure, right? Some new things now, some new things in a month or so.


I feel a flutter in my heart when I get into the new space in my head and that is a good thing--and it is something that hasn't happened in awhile. So indulge me for goodness sakes and don't be afraid you have lost your restful space...you will be discovering a new one-and that, is what life is all about!

change is in the air!

well, the boxes are gone--stored away for now until we get a floor plan that makes us warm and fuzzy. every diesel motor noise makes us run for the window to see if "the new" is here yet. i feel like a school girl waiting for her first date to arrive--yall remember what that felt like?

some of yall ask me why i wanted to change 'the front room'...everyone loved it the way it was. Well that space has been 'the front room' and pretty much the same since the day Leftovers, Michael and Ed's most excellent adventure, left our doors. As they moved into their new spacious surrounds up on highway 290, fancy that! moved into the front room. Furniture got placed, curtains and fabric got hung, rugs were thrown, and well, really...not a lot has changed since then. And that is too long ago for 'no changes' for me!

...so here we go with a new floor plan and some new fabrics, and a new look or two, but our hope is to retain the peaceful, comforting feel you all have expressed to us as one of your favorite things at fancy that! You will have to tell us how we do-but don't judge too quickly. Though we plan to have the front room open again within about 7 days, the full potential of the space will evolve over time-just like we all do. It takes time to grow the space --we will be starting at the bare walls and working our way to a new creation. don't feel alone in your impatience...you can bet we are all eager to see our 'desired outcome' even more than you...and truth is, we aren't particularly sure what our 'desired outcome' is--maybe it is not so much an outcome but a journey...a ride! well all righty then --Yee-Haw!
