Whirl winds and the River Festival fun!



Three blocks in this direction is the Little Arkansas River,
where all the Festival fun is staged.



When you see a red heart apron hanging on the front door...2nd Street.
You've found me.



A few days ago, more dresses were added.
They are unique!



You may have noticed...the shelves are full of interesting finds.
My husband was awesome, fixing an old phone. I will try to add a photo of it sometime soon.

 Are you having a fantastic summertime? Lately life in Kansas has been like a whirlwind for me. Yesterday was the 13th day for the N2God Store to be open. We are open most Saturdays and business is beginning to pick up...a little. We are very thankful for everyone that visits the store. Our location is a little hard to find and I'm delighted when people return to take that 2nd look at an item or just want to visit. I've had some inspiring conversations about faith. I love this! I believe we have much to learn from one another and the N2God Store welcomes all faiths. There will always be diversity.  There are wonderful blessings for those who take time to embrace differences for others with kindness and understanding.

The Wichita River Festival began on Friday June 3rd. That fun is only three blocks East of the N2God Store. I created the paper flag to hang in front of the store. I'm not sure how long it will last...it is so pretty. We sat out heavy items that would stay anchored. Whirl winds...oh yeah! Some real nice people stopped in, a few to just cool off. I got a kick when I learned the festival offered a 'Toddler Run' for one of the events and it was going on this particular Saturday. Families together having a good time, that's what Saturdays were made for.

Some weeks back I decided to hang some 'Vintage' and dated dresses in the East window. Nothing was happening there. It has created some interest as I'm pairing the outfits up with shoes and 'Vintage' jewelry that was tucked away. Yesterday, after hours I worked hard with the window dresses...cleaning and chasing the cob webs trying to make their homes in those very hard to reach places. Old buildings can really be a pain as the plastered walls 'left unpainted' continue to deteriorate...I sweep up the sand on a regular basis.

My biggest effort was preparing the wedding dress to rehang. Last week I bought a wonderful 'brand new' 'huge ballroom?' dress slip at my favorite elite store. It is more that perfect for the wedding gown. What a deal it was $2.98. I don't like saying it but I will...what a deal, what a steal. The wedding dress is now a dreamy display. The tinkle lights...maybe added later. Something worth waiting for I promise! The wedding dress has caught the eye of one of my friends...we'll see.

Hope you have a great weekend! If you're in town...stop by for a cup of tea.
