Finished up this 2-sided project. Today was the 1st chance I've had to be in our shop since the passing of my Mom on October 1st. It really was bittersweet. Our shop has been my happy place so I was excited to be creative again. However I'm not sure all of you realize that my Mom is the whole reason we are even in this business. She had decided to move in with us at one point in her life and we were very into watching Flea Market Flip. We decided that was something we could do and To the Curb and Back was born. One day we were brainstorming names for the business and she came up with that. As soon as it came out of her mouth her eyes lit up and we both knew that was it. She enjoyed being creative as much as I did. We didn't always agree but we always came to a compromise. Which of course means I did it the way she wanted. Even after she moved out she always wanted to come spend a week and help us. I think she managed once to do that. I will always have those priceless moments with her and for that I'm very thankful. ❤️❤️
