Everyday someone comes into the shop and asks,in a somewhat somber tone "So, how ya doin?". Yes, times are tough. Turn on the news, morning, noon and night we are reminded, that yes indeed, times are tough. But here's the thing...every morning I unlock the door to the Vintage, drag all the stuff outside, pick up the trash, water the plants and wave hello to my neighbors. I sweep the sidewalk and feel an overwhelming sense of pride for my little shop. I open the front door, turn on all the lights and put on the music. I turn my sign around from SHUT to OPEN and I am ready for the day. Sometimes, the day starts out slow, very slow, and I start to think "OH NO", but then someone walks in, "I've driven by here a hundred times" they say as they look around. "Gee, what a cute store, how long have you been here?" and ,"So, how ya doing?" "I'm doing great " I say...........Life is good
