The grandest of openings!

The little shop that could!

First things first...we had to tear down the paper covering the windows!
It was a pretty epic moment!

Before we knew it, it was time to get all dolled up and ready for the party!

Next we frantically set up our spread with the help of our wonderful parents!

There were at least 10 different types of cheese with baguette & crackers, pickles, olives and lots of sweet Christmas-y treats! (I don't know how the bowl of brass rings escaped!)

Tiny deer were everywhere!

Before we knew it, it was time to flip the sign for the very first time!

There was so much warmth inside, and it was freezing outside, so our front window fogged up pretty quickly.

So many amazing family & friends showed up to check out the shop & wish us luck!
We were totally blown away by everyone's support! We are so lucky!

Our partner in crime- Doug, who does the mens' section of our shop!

These two crazies (Jessie & Rosie) were there, snapping most of these pictures for us!

 The first sale!

The three musketeers! 
Our friend Zoe helped us so much in the last week, and will hopefully work for us one day!

By the end of the night, everything was a blur
We truly had the best evening and want to take this time to thank everyone who came by and to everyone who helped make that day possible! 

Another big thanks to Rosie & Jessie for snapping pics with their phones for us!

  32. Congrats on the opening of your store! I wish I lived in Winnipeg just so I could shop your store. Is there any chance you have dresses like the beautiful coloured poka-dot one in the pictures to del at your store....and if so is it possible for it to be bought online?
