No Power, Big Giveaway Coming!

Just wanted to check in and let you all know that we still don't have power here in Virginia, and we aren't sure yet when it will be coming back. As soon as we get it back we will be hosting a giveaway for a gift certificate to our shop. We are hoping to get power back later today, but that's what we were expecting yesterday so I guess we'll see.

Living by candlelight...


This is the tree in our back yard. 



Fortunately it didn't hit the house, and that's really all that happened here for damage. Its way worse in the area of New England that we are from. We are keeping them and everyone else affected by the storm in our prayers. This is a picture of my brother-in-law and his family's building supply store.

Hope you all stayed safe, and have a wonderful Monday! Hopefully we'll be back later today with the giveaway.


p.s. As long as we do regain power today or tomorrow, we will open as planned on Thursday, although we probably won't have quite as much inventory in stock as we had planned.

    Hope your power is restored soon. We drove down to W&M and brought home our daughter and six other students until the campus reopens. Just looked at pictures on the W & M site. So sad to see so many beautiful trees toppled. Keeping all those affected in our prayers. ~ Julie

    I have been watching the news of all of the flooding and damage out East and you are all in my prayers. Being without power isn't fun, I know! Here in Montana, we have wildfires, and there is a 700 acre grassfire burning just a couple of miles north of us that has covered our small town with smoke and soot. I am praying that no one who lives out there has to evacuate.
