After much deliberation on what to name my new shop it was decided. I wanted a name that summed up all the lovely things I am selling, and something that was a little quirky. Here is a quick snap I took over the weekend from the front of the store. So that's that. It's done! It's Just Plain Gorgeous I think. I am off to Melbourne for the August Trade & Gift fair. Hoping to find some new and exciting things for the shop. I will be back Thursday. Toot - a - loo!
Love the name you chose!! Wish I was in Aussie Land!
ReplyDeleteHi Simone-
ReplyDeleteI think the name for your shop is just plain perfect! I love the graphic you are using too. How I wish I could be there when you open up.

Hi Simone,
ReplyDeleteA BIG congrats on the shop - how exciting!!!! Sorry I have been radio silence for a while now. We were in Spain for 3 weeks and then I have been absolutely flat out at work since I got back and really haven't got back into the blogio yet!
So much exciting stuff happening for you - we are home in Sept for a wedding (for a weekend only!) but if I get a chance I will def. pop into the shop - hope you'll be open by then!

I love love love it!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo excited for you....happy dance..happy dance. I adore the name of your store!!!! xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The name?......I love it!
ReplyDeleteCool name, Simone! Love the sign, too. Not sure if you recall but I started my blog as French Country Furniture but outgrew it very quickly to become Restyled Vintage. During my dilemma to choose a new name you left a very kind comment on my blog which helped me alot :) I hope that the naming process was nice and easy for you, and that things are going well...I am soooo excited for you! I can't wait to see your next 'instalment'.

Enjoy the gift fair Simone! Wish I could have made it this year luckly I have a contact to do some shopping for me, I was suprised you didnt call it Beach Vintage like your blog, but just plain gorgeous sounds great & with the gorgeous having a colour font it stands out really well good luck with it all, next time I visit Brissy I will make sure I come and see you in your shop! :))))
ReplyDeleteLove that name... but why didnt you call it 'beach vintage'?
ReplyDeleteThe sign & the storefront aqua would definitely pull me in off the sidewalk!
ReplyDeleteJUST PLAIN FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
I am excited for you. I have always wanted to open a store but instead I have an antique booth. Not as much responsibility. It has done well...so maybe when my boys get a little older I will take the plunge. I look forward to following your blog and supporting you on your successful journey of store ownership.
ReplyDeleteWooHooo! Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let everyone that I "follow"; don't forget to come over and enter my giveaway! Today's the last day :D
