Do you know who the contractors were or what they used? I'm wondering if it's EZI KLAMP. Love to know as I'm having a hard time tracking down scaffold parts for sale. Most places just hire them. Hope you're having a good break from blogging, but don't be too long ok? xxxxEmma Kate at Paint and Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186765005284249653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-7495374897487194952016-03-05T01:43:22.387-08:002016-03-05T01:43:22.387-08:00Goodness, it looks wonderful!

And it's good news. I'm just so thrilled for you. Having been so patient, it's just wonderful to hear it's turned out right in the end. If I were a career's adviser, I'd be using you as the perfect case study for someone wanting to get back to work and wanting to change career. You've done everything right and you've made it happen. Very inspiring. You look so so glam in that fabulous dress too. Full time, eh? Blimey. Once you go back to normal, we need to nab you for a trip out.

Very, very tempted. <br /><br />The layout looks perfect from the photos-not so cluttered your eyes can't adjust, but *just enough* to keep a visitor turning in all directions saying, "ooh, look at this. And look at that. Oooh, over there..." <br /><br />Excellent use of the vertical space as well (love the ladder display). <br /><br />Don't you worry about blogging-sleep is better, and worth grabbing as much as possible. <br /><br />Congratulations on the shop.<br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-17793308812952116692016-02-24T14:36:30.204-08:002016-02-24T14:36:30.204-08:00Oh how exciting it all is!
