Status update

As I was sitting here updating the Cottage Hill website I realized that we're no longer just an online store.  It's kind of interesting how it came to be that we opened a brick and mortar store in Theresa, NY.  Well, let me tell you.  We were on a buying trip in Pennsylvania and met another shop owner.  I had commented that our shop was "online only" because I work in a school during the week.  She replied that her shop, attached to her home, is only open on Saturday and Sundays.  I immediately think "I could do that" and especially now that I am an empty nester.  I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I was driving through Theresa in February and had noticed the old bank was still for rent and had been for over a year.  I decided to take a chance and called to inquire.  The building owner was dumbfounded.  He couldn't believe I had called because in less than two hours he was going to have a work crew start demolition on the space to create an apartment.  Long story, short, I am now the owner/operator of a brick and mortar store and I firmly felt the hand of God on this one!
