I have connected with the gentleman that owns the building where this vacant store front is. I talked with him for a bit and gave him my proposal. He seems so willing to work with me that I couldn't be more thrilled. He resides in another state, and comes to Maine once or twice a month. When he travels up this way, (within the next 2 weeks), he will call me, we'll meet at the shop, and finalize everything. My hand will be shaking when He hands me the key!!! Just a little.
If I tell you I'm so excited I can hardly breathe, will you all understand? Seriously, that is how very excited, happy, and so at peace I am with all that God is doing. The direction that everything is going in is like a puzzle getting it's vital center pieces placed directly where they belong. After some doors closing, (the loft space, and another spot I was looking at), some helpful insite from family and good friends, I have realized this original spot that I have been dreaming about IS THE SPOT where God wants me. Can we say YIPPEEE!!!
This store front, Urban Farmhouse, continues to be inspirational to me. I just love her store.
I have been looking for other inspiration, and confirmation for the direction I am heading in with this shop. God is so awesome to fill me with joy, excitement, and Godly wisdom along the way.
I'm sure I'll have stumbling blocks to over come, but when you know it's God leading the way, clearing a path, giving you clear direction... "With Man This Is Impossible, But With God All Things Are Possible. Matthew 19:26"...
I couldn't be in a better place.

How exciting....I can't wait to see it when you are ready to open. That Urban Farmhouse store looks like it would be wonderful to roam around in....love stores like that!
Hope you have a great weekend!

This is very exciting! I dream about stuff like this ... but it's not the right time in my life for an adventure like that, so I'll follow you vicariously! Thanks for sharing. And who knows ... maybe a cross-country vacation is my future and I can pop in a see ya when you're up and running.
If at all possible, my sister, Tracey and I will be there opening day! I am praying that all will go well. Have a great week-end Lisa, Hugs, Kathleen
Oh Lisa, I am so excited for you. This too is a dream of mine. Maybe I could travel from Texas to Maine someday to get some ideas for my (in the future) store that I am trusting God for. Can't wait to follow your dream with you.
I'm very excited for you, bloggy friend! Can't wait to see your new shop!
How exciting! You're so talented that I can't wait to see what you'll do!
I canNOT wait for the pictures of your shop when it's up and running. I KNOW it will be beautiful!
The way you feel about your shop? That's the way I feel about my writing. And I feel equipped and led. I'm excited to see where God is taking me. Hope that doesn't sound like I think I'm all that. It's just what God has set before me and is blessing me with. Writing is MY business and I LOVE decorating with words!
I love how you see God's hand in your life... I really believe He wants the very best for us and He does help us fulfill our dreams.
Sending Hugs and Good Wishes
Lisa,
I'm soooooo excited for you!!!!! I know exactly where the location of the shop is! I'll be one of your first customers when you have your grand opening!!! Can't wait to see what you do with the space. I know it will be amazing!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I am so excited to become a regular of yours!
The shop sounds perfectly charming, now I have a reason to visit Maine! I've always wanted a reason to visit Maine!
Lisa, you have such wonderful decorating ideas! Although most of them wouldn't work for the style we've decided on for this house, I love coming here. It's like flipping through some gorgeous home and garden magazine. I'm sure your shop will be absolutley beautiful. I just wish it could be closer so I could lose myself in it!
Sounds like a wonderful new journey!! I can't wait to see all that's in store (no pun intended) for you!!
Blessings
Jen
