Good Friends Are A Blessing!
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 07:58PM What would we do without good friends? Most of us are quick to say, let me know if I can help, or what can I do to help? And then there are those... that just show up to help! That's what happened to me today. Our good friend Vicki Burnett just showed up at Fabulous Finds and refused to leave.
I kept saying, no you can look at all of our new stuff and then you have to leave. Youn are not going to work! She refused. She said, "OK, I'll just sit in the car until you're finished". That's when I gave in and put her to work. Wow! I wish we could hire her. She was not only making tags and tagging new merchandise but waiting on customers too.
We can't hire Vicki, but she has hired us...more than once.
You might remember her screened in porch redo a few years ago..if not click here to see the entire thing.
We're getting ready to break ground on her brand new home in the country...
We've been working on the plans for months. Click here for the details. It's going to be fabulous! We've teamed up with Parkinson Building Group and can hardly wait to break ground.
I'm hoping to finish up at Fabulous Finds tomorrow. Come back and take a peek at what's new!
It's been a great day. Now it's your turn. Let's talk!

Vicki sounds like the perfect friend and ideal client! Sounds like things are busy. Just arrived in Big D with my sons for the week. We're already enjoying the sun, the flowers...everything we're missing up in New York. ha ha

Wow - thank you Mona! I'm afraid i had to get the kleenex after reading your post. I had the best time "working" with you today. It felt soooo good to be able to do something to help the girls at Providence for a change! :-)
What would we do without wonderful friends like Vicki. And what a fabulous new project!
I think you're going to have a serious amount of fun!
Mona, you are so lucky to have a friend like Vicki...and I'm sure she had fun playing shop for the day!!!

Mona, How sweet of Vicki to help out. I went back and looked at the original post about the porch and it is a beautiful transformation. The drawing of her new home looks amazing.

Vicky sounds like an amazing friend a keeper:) True friends always show their true colors at times that we least expect it and when they don't have to do anything but want to do something. Thats a true friend..the new house looks incredible..look forward to seeing it come to life!
