Closing one Chapter, Opening Another

Well, it is with great sadness that I say I will be closing the Lilcottageshoppe, last year pretty much wiped me out, and there are no funds left for inventory, but 2008 brings new beginnings, and my new business, Retroboutiques.com is now in full swing. I will be adding all new designs in the next week, and have 5 sites in progress as we speak...so, if you are in need of a site, please visit my new blog at .. http://retroboutiques.blogspot.com/ (which by the way, still has Christmas decorations up :), and stop by my site at www.retroboutiques.com.

Another another sad note, our friend Mary, from Isabella's closet is ill and in financial need. This woman, who has given so much of herself to everyone else, is too proud to ask for help.
Since I have absolutely no money to help, I wondered what I could do...well, I can auction off a website design, with the proceeds going to Mary to pay for meds. So go to my my blog at
http://retroboutiques.blogspot.com, read the details, and bid on a site for Mary...payment will be paypaled directly to her at the auction end!
Come on, we need to pull together to help our precious Mary!
