DAY ONE

So I arrived at the store at 9:10am and Hanna was already inside vacuuming....so I lured her outside for a photo (coming soon)... and we were off...we were greeted by our first customers from Tofino..(who made the 1/2 hour drive!) and landed a crisp one dollar bill to frame(curtousy of my hubby who gave my friend from Tofino the bill to buy with)...thanks Krys and Jon... Hanna and I were doing well until our next customer handed us a 50 dollar bill...and simultaneously we both realized that we had no float...no money in the cash register, and not even a thought that we would need cash up until that point....cash in the till...so we had an emergency staff meeting under the counter (literally) and went through our wallets so as to appear prepared once we stood back up..luckily we made it...we then calmly gave change and called Jon to go to the bank asap....but spent the rest of the day in amazement that we forgot this major detail...but the store looked pretty!!! so that saved us...So many of our friends came down to support us ~with their kids who loved the play area..though one little one got stuck in the toy basket...she was eventually rescued after her mommy and me took pictures of her predicament...we also served up some yummy tea and enjoyed all of the mommy conversation that was buzzing about the store all day.....So thanks to all our dear friends, the local mommies, our children who miss us, our partners who love us, our parents who raised us and of course to Hanna I say thanks sister for walking through this crazy renovationed journey to boutiqueville....you rock!
