The Shop is Looking Good!

     Jeff and I went to Cooperstown this morning and  stocked my shelves.  I needed his help getting

those hats up on the top shelf!  I've got to take some clean plastic grocery bags with me tomorrow and

stuff the hats that are just sitting on the bottom shelf.   I've never had so many hats and sweaters ready for Spring Reopening since I've been working by myself.  I really surprised myself!!

   The hanging area is full, too! And rather colorful!
I hung the sweaters in increasing size from
Right to Left with all the Hoodies at the far Left.  There are 2 shrugs there, too, and one hanging on a sundress in the next 
display but I forgot to get a photo of that.  There is

a total of 23 sweaters and 22 hats on display.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if they all sold in April?
(Just wishful thinking!)
The baby socks are hanging down the upright
on the left in this photo

to the right.>  You can barely make out the blue and gray stripe socks. I thought I had them in the center of a shot but I guess I goofed!  The shelves below the hanging sweaters will have crib quilts and afghans. Somewhere there is a basket with bibs that I'll add a couple of bibs to, knit in white cotton and embroidered with flowers, but tonight I think I'll start a shawl in that Red Heart Denim that I bought a couple of months ago.  It's really more of a  big, oversized scarf and it should work up nicely in that color.
  For being a nice guy and going to the shop with me, I treated Jeff to lunch at Sal's Pizza on Main St in Cooperstown.  He had a covered sausage sub with peppers and onion and brought half home with him!
(I had 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and Fanny...who was waiting in the car...got the crusts.)  Jeff says that's the best sub he's had since he had one there last fall!  I know Sal's is the best pizza!  (My mom always said the sauce at Sal's tasted like someone's grandmother made it.)  I suggested to Jeff that I might occasionally bring home a covered sub from Sal's for supper when I work and he agreed!
   We decided to take the scenic way home since we haven't driven the car much since we got it.  I got us to Fort Plain without any trouble but then got us lost trying to find Rte 5S West and we ended up nearly in Amsterdam!  We eventually found our way back to Fort Plain and found 5s West but I still say the road wasn't marked very clearly. Oh, and Cooperstown and most of the area we were in today had about twice as much snow as we do. In fact, ours is melting pretty fast.  Maybe Spring will try to bloom again!
