Starting down a new path and very, very EXCITED!!!

I am bursting with excitement!!! Tom and I have finally decided that the timing is perfect for the next step in our lives. I have been dreaming of opening a little gift and consignment shop for years and that is exactly what we are going to do.  I so love the name of my blog that we have decided to call our shop The Gathering Nest Gifts & Consignment. We have found the perfect space for the shop at 6 Clarence Street West, Port Colborne, ON Canada. It is so unique and simply perfect. I have the KEY!!!!! We are going to sell one of a kind, very unique gifts and plan on having tons of vintage everything..talk about YUMMY!!! I can hardly sleep at night trying to place everything in our space. We are also going to have fabulous clothes, excellent condition, that is 1 -2 years old and also vintage clothes in excellent condition on consignment. I have lots of people that seem to be very interested in that. I guess we all have those great items in our closet that we have worn once or twice and know that we will never wear it again, so we are happy to get something for them. I am also hoping to get some of my mixed media friends to send some of their things for the store, that will be so fun. Know what else is going to be fun??? Remember all those great vintage clothes that my sweet friend from work sent my way, well I am going to wear those in my shop. I am really, really excited about that. I was telling my hair dresser that and she looked at me and cracked up, she said Debby can you imagine the kids saying to their parents lets go to that store where that weird lady wears all those really weird clothes. Exactly, that is what I want, perfect for me. If that makes you remember my store I am a very happy girl...

We are in the heart of the tourist area in Port Colborne, so it is going to be great when spring really gets here and people start to come into town to capture the beauty of our town and shop our unique shops. The shop is going to be right by the bridge in downtown Port Colborne, so I am excited to put my counter in a spot where I will be able to see the ships going through the Welland Canal as they make there way out into Lake Erie..awesome...

I am adding a few pics of the store as it looks now and hoping to keep you updated as we get ready to open May 2nd.
