Organic silk fabric drapes the doors, while organic sheets and towels line the shelves of this unit.

Crocheted market bags, more organic towels, beeswax birthday candles and a basket of wool toys for cats .

Baby stuff. I phoned my son, the only one of my kids who is planning kids, and asked if they wanted me to save any baby things for them. They said yes, so I will take some pictures and ask them if they want this or that. Otherwise, they are for sale at half price of the retail.

The essential oils aromatherapy cabinet is my chartreuse green 1950's kitchen cupboard snagged when I was buying hay bales. It is purposely inaccessible because people always open the bottle to smell the contents. Then the bottles have to be discounted because they are opened. Maybe I can avert that with one tester clearly marked and my presence.

Also in the green cabinet are the Fire King Depressoin glass and carnival glass items. There is one set of four small plates, bowls, bread and butter plates, cups and saucers and a serving bowl, plus cream and sugar. It is in excellent shape and complete.
The interior is done and the stock is almost in place. Tomrrow I will bring in some fabric rolls and cuts and then clean up around the store and plant some flowers. The signs were ordered a while back, but I opted for the least expensive postage, so it takes up to 3 weeks to get here. I checked today and they have not arrived yet, but will soon. The contents are a mix of old and new and used. There are brand new still in the bag organic items, beeswax and beeswax candles, all sorts of home made soap, essential oils, carrier oils and essential oil blends and the antique and new china and exclusive items. I have to look online to see what a  set of 4 Fire King Depresson ware is selling for. 

As soon as the yard is ready and the signs are here, the insurance man needs to know so the liability can be increased. The composting toilet also needs to be installed in the new outhouse. Then the doors can be open for business. 

It is rather exciting and at the same time a little heart wrenching to part with treasures. My mother's carnival glass bowl that she kept her bobby pins in is for sale in the store. She pin curled her hair all the time and slept with it that way. I remember watching her as a little girl, wondering how she could sleep with all those bobby pins in her head, but she did, obviously. I was not allowed to touch the glass bowl, with a little fawn perched on the lid, but I did sometimes, just never told. 

My old viewmaster with some reels is in the farm store too. As time permits, I will make some food items, like pickled eggs and garlic, and seasoning packages to go with recipes for meats in the freezer. The freezer will have farm meats in it. So far there are geese and ducks from last season, organic, and some organic lamb and goat will go in there too. Eggs will be sold unwashed as they should be sold. As soon as I get a chance, the garden will be planted and it is very close to the store so people can see what is growing. I am opting for several crops of micro greens, and quick growing vegetables, as well as 60 day squash and pumpkin. 

The exterior needs to be scraped, power washed and painted before any window boxes and planters are in place. Maybe next week, sigh. Maybe.
