McBride's time to relax....finally....

  Wondering where we've been for a while? Oh, we've been here all right, just cheating on this blog with Finch's Boutique blog...
  It's that time of year, when we completely tear apart our house, stash away our personal decor and bring in other people's stuff - 70 local artist and designer's stuff to be exact. Our largest Finch's Boutique to date was a big success - even if Day 2 was hindered by a ton of snow - it's was still a lot of fun, but mostly a ton of work....not sure if it will be happening here again next year..... we'll see....

  Here's what I mean...

We move most furniture out or re-purpose some - like one couch and the coffee table -
and bring in all the display apparatus...

Would you believe we had over 200 visitors come through our place?
That's a few more than we typically like to entertain at once...

This year got so big, we opened the smaller guest room down the hall to accommodate the Kids/Baby/Pets product.

Luckily, we have the two best shop dogs ever....

Okay, 1 really good shop dog....and then there's Rigby....

Oh Man, being shop dogs is REALLY hard work...

   NOW! We have the house pretty well put back together, people's product is *almost completely gone and we're ready for some relaxing. We're definitely pleased to have finished the bulk of our Christmas shopping before the sale, but that doesn't mean we're sitting still for too long....

Still lots to be done! On to 2013!!

Happy Holidays from The McBride's

Kevin, Elisa, Finch & Rigby
