LIVE GREEN EXPO IN DULUTH!

Where do I begin? The Live Green expo in Duluth was a success and that's an understatement. I am soooo proud of my husband! I feel that through this experience he and I are now on the same page about the store! It's not just mine now, but it's ours! I couldn't have asked for a better gift from this event.
We also had the privilege to meet some really fantastic people. A couple, David and Judy, they've purchased three grain elevators and are taking them apart piece by piece. The wood, nails, and wrought iron that they are getting out of them is fantastic! We are going to have lunch with them in two weeks to see the process and to look through what David calls his bone yard. The gentleman beside us, Rick made us laugh and laugh and laugh! Without him there it had the potential to be a bit boring at times. He's going to take us sailing on lake superior. I also met a fantastic woman by the name of Jane. She is a sales consultant for a new organic clothing line called KikaPaprika. I'm having a show for her at my place in three weeks. I'm ecstatic to have been locked outside with her each morning. The clothing line that she represents is made out of organic cotton and it's priced very reasonably. I'm so excited!
The booths that were there were really neat. David and I got some really great ideas for how we can remodel Green. The people walking through the expo were fantastic. Quite a few of them were interested in our booth and what we had to offer. We're excited about the amount of exposure we had and the amount of people that are going to come to our shop.
Last but not least. Shannon from channel 6 news walked up with her big camera and wanted to talk to us. David bolted so it ended up being me. I had my pigtails in and was not prepared to say the least, but the opportunity to talk to her was another gift. I chatted(rambled) for probably close to 10-15 minutes about the building/the store/living green. She seemed sincere about really enjoying what I had to say. She's going to email me when she's going to be doing the segment on The Creative Shop.
This morning when I woke up I had a text message from a friend that said he saw me on tv. I ran downstairs on to my computer to see what it was he saw. Shannon had done a segment about the expo and she used part of our interview in it! The only other person she used was Sherri the gal behind the expo and Will Steger the main guest speaker! I'm on such a high right now I can barely stand it. She said that she liked what I had to say and I guess she did.
