The final countdown!

This is the final week of M & Co. Papery and we are CLEARING everything out! The entire store is 60% right now, with some items marked down more than 75% off. Be sure to come in on Thursday and Friday when I will be marking things down to beyond low!

I am so sad to see the end of M & Co. It has been so much fun! And I certainly loved shopping for all of those specialty items. And even though I am looking forward to a lot of time off, this is one of the hardest things I have ever done!

Domestic Bliss and I are having a Final Farewell party for M & Co. this Thursday night at M & Co. from 6 until 10 p.m. I really hope you all can make it. It will be a bittersweet ending to what has been an incredible time in my life!

P.S. A special thank you to the girls at Zuzu's Petals (the incredible flower shop around the corner from M & Co.). They have been so kind as to send me not one but two of the most beautiful floral arrangements! One for each of the last two weeks. I have tried to photograph them to show you but my pics are not doing them justice. Thank you so much girls! Your flowers give me something to smile about.

Renovations!

These are just a few pictures of the renovations that were made to the current M & Co. location. As mentioned, this was all done in July with no air conditioning! So thanks again to my family and friends who helped me out with all of the free labor even though it was so terribly hot.


I will never forget borrowing my friend Paul's turbo fan to use while painting the walls only to discover that it was completely pink from over spray when we were done! Or getting decked out with gas masks (OK maybe they were only those flimsy white kind) to spray the moldy wall with bleach! Or the hours upon hours of muscle aching, painstaking, scraping of the front windows with my niece Jessica.


I wouldn't trade these memories for the world! The store was the realization of a dream!

Two weeks left!

The sale has been going incredibly well and things are moving fast! Time seems to be moving just as quickly. I can't believe there are only two weeks left for M & Co. Papery. :( Again with the mixed bag of emotions! Thankfully each day has been so busy I haven't had much time to think about it. The other bonus is having Dan and Kristin working the sale with me.

These are some pieces of furniture and fixtures that we have left to sell. Please call me ASAP if you are interested in any of these fabulous pieces. I am not kidding when I say that people have been a little nutso over wanting to get a particular piece of furniture only to find out that it sold just before they let me know.

Also, this week everything in the store is 50% off! There are still incredible invitations, Christmas and Halloween necessities, napkins and plates, aprons, beautiful glass jars and ribbon left to sell.

#1 Our crystal chandelier which is much more glorious in person! $800 O.B.O. #2 Custom built bookcase would be perfect for a large space. Sorry I forgot to get dimensions on all pieces. $2200 O.B.O.

#3 Black and tan coffee table $225 O.B.O. #4 Farmhouse table with four chairs $300 O.B.O.

#5 Large round table $500 O.B.O. #6 Small round table $300 (I adore these tables! They are seriously well built!)

#7 Antique hand carved table with black glass top $2100 O.B.O.

#8 and #9 Buffet tables. Two green (shown back to back) and one tan left to sell. $400 each

Domestic Bliss keeps bringing in great new stuff for their sale. They just re-stocked on Saturday so come in on Monday and get some great deals!

Memories (part I)

These photos are of the current M & Co. Papery location. This is what the space looked like before we moved in and renovated! Lots of work to be done!

Don't forget 40% off of our entire store right now!

(what is this thing? I think it used to be heater! Scary!)

Whew! It has been a LONG, LONG week! As you know our sale started last Monday and I cannot believe how much has sold over the last week. The furniture has been selling like hot cakes and I am happy to see how many of you have been stocking up on your stationery and invitation supplies. You never know what you might need!

Over the last week the most frequent question I have been getting is what I am going to do next. The unfortunate thing is that I have no idea. I’ll tell you one thing it’s going to be a whole lot of nothing for a long time! I don’t know what life will bring me next but I am sure looking forward to it.

Our sale continues this Monday with 40% off the entire store! There are still a lot of goodies left so come on in and scoop them up. And Domestic Bliss of course has some incredible sale items they keep bringing in. I already have a stock pile of treats I am buying from them.

I asked my husband the other night if it’s possible to be completely depressed AND completely happy at the SAME TIME! That’s how I am feeling right now so if you come in and I seem a little half-brained it’s because I can’t even keep a straight thought in my head for more than 10 seconds. It’s crazy!

I will be posting pics of M & Co. through the years for you see. I am really bummed that I don’t have any pictures of our original tiny spot that we opened in. These are pictures of our last location. Enjoy the memories!
