Where I Spent My Morning

I was lucky enough to spend my morning with two beautiful women that I love. My sister from another Mrs, my sister-in-law Kelly, and her mom Judy.  I visited them at their gorgeous shop, Backyard Birds and Garden Frills at Bell Farm Antiques on Route 1 in York, ME.
 

I'm going to be helping them on some marketing and I met with them to go over plans and to take pictures.  Lots of pictures. 

Not only did I spend the morning with Kelly, Judy and their retail assistant Judy, as well as a bevy of customers (the place was hopping!), I also got some facetime with these guys....

and these guys.............

Then I was sent on my way with this message:

Much to do. I will share many more pictures with you in my next Let's Shop Here post.

Have a great day and remember, choose happy.

Ciao for now,

A Perfect Time For A Party

This link up party is overdue.  So come on in, make yourself comfortable, take a stroll around the gardens, get a drink and something to eat at the buffet and tell us a little something about yourself. Might I be so bold as to suggest you show off a little.....I mean you did wear your best party outfit, right?

This is the place to have fun while you link up your online shop or blog. If you don't have an online shop or blog, have some fun looking around. You might find some things you just have to have, things you mother would love, or new places to visit for a daily read.  It's all good.

(what a lovely inspiration board....who's ready to party?)

Get set to mix, mingle, and talk amongst yourselves.

Please read the Rules of the House, before linking:

*If you take part in the link up, you will go on a list of particpants and receive an e-mail from me (and from the address pbates@speakeasyinfo.net) in two weeks reminding you that the next Gotta Have It/Gotta Blog It link up party is underway.

*If you like Mercantile Muse enough to link up at the party, won't you consider becoming a follower (there's several different ways to follow in the sidebar to you're right) if you're not already? Can you do me another favor?How about liking us on facebook too? That'd be so sweet!

*Post one link. Two if you link one under Gotta Have It (for shops)and one under Gotta Blog It (for bloggers).  Be sure you’re posting your link under the right link up!

*Don't link and run, be kind and check out each other's links.

*Share a link to the party, 'you two tell friends, and they tell two friends, and so on and so on'. It benefits us all--- blog, tweet, facebook, etc. If you blog and are so inclined to grab a button (from Mercantile Muse's button page) and feature it on your blog, that would be, as we say 'round these parts, wicked awesome. 

*Leave a comment and check back Monday when I feature some things I've found through the link up. It could be you!

First up, the shop link up (scroll down page for blog link up)!

Bloggers, you're up! Gotta Blog It

Feel free to share a little bit about yourself, your shop and/or your blog in the comments section (including links to your shop and facebook page, pinterest page, etc. if you've got 'em). Let's have some fun getting to know each other better. Thanks for being here,
