In July we made a picnic themed window, and hung an amazing vintage fringe bikini. An old lady later came into the store and told me "I normally would never come in here, but I saw that other lady come in first. I thought this place was a strip club because of that bikini".
In August we finally got a nice big White Elephant stamp and we began custom printing our bags. Lindsay, Krysten, and our newest intern Carly are AMAZING at this. Seriously. Carly is our newest intern at the shop, and although I don't have a picture of her, you'll just have to trust us that she's adorable and has helped us immensely.
In September Hollie, Gary, Mike and I accomplished a dream as old as our shop, and finally painted a big White Elephant mural on the side of the building.
We were also pretty busy with this little thing called Supercrawl.... maybe you've heard of it?
October was another amazing and busy month. We re-launched our online clothing site, Ainslie Wood Co., and got to visit the lovely ladies of Victoire again for the You Love Vintage and Vintage Loves You Sale. It was gorgeous dress overload. As an added bonus, Hollie finally got to see the Parliamentary Cats!
In November we started carrying a new artist in the shop, Marianne Chénard, and spent a lot of time getting ready for the busy Christmas Season.
In December we built one of my favorite windows yet, a beautiful lace and doily wonderland featuring an honest to goodness TEE PEE. Then we took a week off and slept the entire time, or something like that.
I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store!

Um.... hilarious that that lady thought your store was a strip club! Probably the vintage quilt was another dead giveaway. Haha.
What about that time I ate all that candy?
That was a highlight of every month!
