These are my very first pair of shears. My sister gave them to me as a birthday present when I was still in high school. I think it's safe to say that my family trusted me to cut their hair way too early. I think my sister always knew that it was my calling though. She was the first person to invest in my future. It's time to retire those shears and a few others. I have sent them to a nice gentleman I found on etsy. He does steel welding. He's making a sign out of my shears that says the name of the salon. I'll post more pictures when it comes in.
In other news... I think we have found someone to make our front desk and product shelf. We went to an antique mart this weekend and found a couple that does wood work with steel. They have very reasonable prices so hopefully we can get a few really cool custom pieces from them. I'm excited. We were looking for antique hutches to use as product shelves to go with our industrial/vintage theme. But they were all very over priced and didn't seem strong enough to withstand the everyday wear of being a product shelf. This couple will distress the furniture to look worn but still nice and sturdy. I'll post pictures of those later too.
So as a whole things are moving along really well. The stress level goes up and down. We try to look at the little set backs as small speed bumps or signs that maybe that wasn't the right direction anyway. But it's hard sometimes when you have your heart set on something and it falls through. I know that everything is happening as it should. Thanks for all your support. We love you guys!
