Bee Happy print by Melanie Linder of Spread the Love (available at Hello Bluebird matted or framed)

We have been busy as bees this week.

News of impending snowstorm notwithstanding, Hello Bluebird is bringing on the spring!  Boxes are filling the shop, full of pretty things made by good people.  New jewelry, candles, diffusers, handbags and reusable shoppers, cards, handmade marshmallows–the list goes on and on!  You might wonder, where on earth are we going to put all of this happy new merchandise?

Never fear.  As a gift for being such a good girl over the holidays, the shop was rewarded with some new fixtures (via Ikea–thank you, Swedes) last week!  Corey was sweet enough to put his after-work painting time aside to help me assemble (and by help, you know what I mean) and get the new furniture in place.  It has been a fun, albeit very crazy, week of getting the shop put back together.  Slow-going at moments, and some stashes and corners are still unfinished, but, all in all, I am please as punch with how fresh and spacious it is turning out.

Of course, don’t take my word for it!  Please swing by and take a look for yourself, while its all shiny and new and brimming with fresh goodies!  We even have free marshmallow samples (strawberry shortcake! yum!!), as if you needed to be bribed…

Since you missed out on all of the fun, here are some scary IN PROGRESS pics!  I’ll post some AFTER photos tomorrow–stay tuned!
