Crafty Capers is Moving!!


Crafty Capers is moving! We are open in our Lantzville store until July 24. We are closed July 25-27 moving products new and old into the new location at 2137C Bowen Rd (near the Northfield exit and Pipers Meats and Tailor to Go). Since I am not cardmaking due to my surgery I will blog the renovations at the new store. As you can see the previous tenents left the space very PINK! We're correcting that!

The floors were also very nasty with mystery stained carpets and laminate floors held down with duct tape!

The space is broken up into 3 rooms so we took out a door and made the opening bigger (thanks Phil and Dad!) We ripped up all the flooring today and removed a bunch of chair rail. We also make fun of the bathroom and wondered why on earth people in the '60s had such ugly medicine cabinets and then were horrified when we discovered a bunch of used lipsticks and rusted screws in said medicine cabinet!!

We loaded up Phil's truck with the nasty carpet, a chair rail, mystery cords, and duct taped laminate floor! We also moved in a bunch of slat wall in preparation for painting. Lots going on! Thanks to today's helpers: Kim, Lynn (Mom), Bill (Dad), Phil, Colin, Kathy and Hayley.

I'll post more photos as we progress. Tomorrow the new floor is being laid.
