Happy Tuesday Night... I had a very busy day doing a whole lotta stuff!
..but i wont go into all of those details cause this girl is tired.

But, I cant let you all hanging.... so stay tuned 🤪

4, 3, 2, 1.....
...Hot Off the Press News as Mel with Mel’s Treats will be setting up at The Schoolhouse now woth her mobile coffee cart on Saturdays from 11-2pm serving up her varieties of iced coffees, crafted sodas, and lemonades. Plus she will have her amazing baked goods as well.
...which if u look at the pictures, i had to find more man muscles and we got the Grab n Go Baked Good Cooler upstairs now.... whew 🤣

She will be setup at The Schoolhouse on Saturdays 11-2 and at The Mercantile Sundays 12-3.

The Ice Cream Parlor got another good flipping and flopping today and I hit the floors running as soon as I got there and was hustling all day that I didnt even get to work on more paperwork emails.

Tomorrow i will ground myself again and stay focused on replying to the last few I must get back to.

Most understand this crazy lady loves to keep busy acting on her thoughts and keep plugging along pushing herself to keep this all going.

People come in and ask if I am Jenny Lyn like I am a celebrity and some say I must be doing well.....
...well let me tell you this...
..I need to keep swimming and in order to keep my dreams alive, I have to keep hustling, keep thinking outside the box, and keep going no matter what....
...so yes , to most it looks like i am the richest shop in the world but truly I am still broke, got a lot to payback, and not even close to anything comparable to being well off.

But....
... I am living my best life though and my vehicle is dying real fast now but it is still trying to get me from shop to shop and I cant part with my beast yet of many many many years and she has been with me thru all of my moves and continues to be my main telaporter...
..she has a full load tonight and headed to The Mercantile tomorrow and I must fluff that all into that shop so there will be a few posts on that page tomorrow so if you are not following along with this crazy lady at that shop, you need to follow now by clicking here >>> Jenny Lyns at The Mercantile ....
..believe me, you dont want to miss out

I know it takes a whole lotta money to start something new from the trenches, it takes a whole lotta time until you see any results, and it requires a whole lot of determination, grit, hustle, and a hard headed lady to believe in herself when most thought I cant keep it going ....
... but I am because I cant quit, I cant turn back, and I cant fall so I will keep flying by the seat of my pants and I cant fake it to make it but I can keep putting that smile on my face and sparkle in my eye when I feel like some days, I cant....
..but I do and will get thru these slower summer months knowing the last 5 months of the year is my time, my creators time, and we will keep growing and doing this shop thing together cause we all got dreams to reach and love what we do....

Check out the pictures... lots and lots of pictures

I received a text on Saturday if I wanted 3 more tables from the local VFW who is remodeling and where I got the others....
...of course I will take them!

So today after working on more paperwork and answering more emails and got to a good stopping point and stayed working past 5 to keep on responding....
...then about 630pm, I needed a break and finally got to work on what I wanted to do all day.

I started flipping, flopping, and fluffing upstairs.... then in the basemest... then in this room and that room...
...waiting on my new tables to get delivered and when they did, I went to more work.

Come Look Around with me.... we definitely have lots of tables and seating for all.

I dont know where this is all going yet but ice cream is in the freezer and popsicles as well and will be adding in more soon...
...just need to take time to go popsicle shopping.

Just when I think it cant get any better, it does.

I have more shelves to take to the lower level and get them settled in there new area but tomorrow is another day...
...I will post more pictures tomorrow

Plus where I got the tables, they asked if I wanted to buy their little glass ice cream sundae jars...
...of course, they look so cute cause they are just a small size....
..for now they are just part of the parlor as display pieces....but one day, they may come out after a good washing and use them....
..if we ever go the next step and serve soft ice cream or hand dipped ice cream.
...it could all be added in time and will see what happens.
...u gotta start and it has started. We are going places and the ice cream parlor in the Schoolhouse is becoming a super chill area to eat ice cream and play some video games or watch tv... or listen to the radio.

Come out and chill witg us!
