a trip to InSpiRE....

I love when new scrapbook stores open in my area...and by that I mean in a tri-state area...have something fresh and new...will travel...and travel I did today....

Once again my one hour trip to Inspire (a new lss in Thibodeaux) became a three hour tour...I told Shane once and for all...I am buying the cheapest car with Onstar...I am a fairly intelligent person...but when I get in the car I'm like a babbling blundering idiot...enough about me... let's talk about INSPIRE!!!  let me just show you... it's easier (and prettier)


Ashley's displays were perfect!  Just look at the Studio Calico Elementary Line displayed with vintage school books and real #2 pencils...and did you notice what they are sitting on...an old stove from grandma's house...this chalkboard is awesome for 2 reasons...One ~ it means Ashley sells things by the piece...she must know we all love to touch and feel all things vintage and Two ~ it's so stinkin' CUTE!

The store displays were vintage school desks, chippy tables, squeaky armoires (I didn't hear them squeak, but they probably would...), old trunks, sewing drawers, large glassware....



Everyone was very friendly and talkative and Ashley's...well...Ashley's young and pretty...did I mention young???  Even though she probably doesn't remember Blair from the Facts of Life (not that I'm jealous...) she has a fantastic store with a great mix of product (Studio Calico, lots of Tim, Margie, Pink Paislee, October Afternoon, Prima, Maya to name a few) and she has great talent.  All of the store samples were really inspiring...I can't wait to go back and I hope you make a trip to meet her very soon!  Good Luck Ashley...I'll be back to visit again soon!!!  (I'm going to slather on the eye cream now....)
