My Two Year Blog Anniversary...

I think this blog has evolved much like the shop.  Started kind of bare bones.
I had the experience, and I had a vision, but never had my own shop.
This is the Farmer's National Bank building before Beadboard moved into it.

This is the building after we moved in.. Graphics on the windows, a tip of the hat to Beverly Hills with the awning, ( paid for by a grant from the city of Brenham,Texas) and the beautiful plants........


Blogging has helped me and the shop evolve into this, more fine tuned, from seeing all the beautiful pictures and interpretations of bloggers all over the world. This medium made me a better person, given me new friendships, and made this tiny storefront recognizable to people who have never set foot in our our shop.

A big thank you to all of my blogging friends and followers that understand I have a business to run.  And to Joni Webb of Cote de Texas,  a former customer when I worked in the city, who came in here and took pictures a couple of years ago and said "I'm blogging now".
 I said what's blogging? What's a blogger???? What the blazes is that???
I know now.  Evidently so does she.  HEHE.
