Road Trips are such an Adventure!

Ah the thrill of travel. Being on the road. Getting away from it all. The adventure, the excitement, the challenge. THE ICE! THE SNOW! THE WIND! Rachel and I had quite the exciting trip--our first one in 2012, and about our 12th(or more) together, and just when we think we've seen and done it all...

This is just a peek at what we experienced in Seattle. This is the trailer hitch, the all important trailer hitch that keeps the trailer filled to capacity with our goodies towing nicely behind the suburban. Does ice affect how it tows? hmmmm never experienced that, so we'll see!

side mirrors are another important item to have and use while towing. You know you can't see out of the rearview mirror because there's just a big white box in view, so relying on side mirrors becomes critical. "objects may appear larger in mirror" doesn't even begin to tell the story when its coated with an inch of ice!

Ah, but then there's the beauty of it all. Branches coated with ice, clanking together like chimes when the wind blows...

Somehow being stranded in the hotel room for 3 days sounds fun, except when all of the shops are closed due to weather, and Rachel can't go out and shop and escape from Colette, who's sick for all 3 days...Did I mention road trips are an adventure????

We made a break for it on Friday, and got in line with all of the semis going over the pass, and white knuckled it when the severe winds kicked up and came at us through the canyon. But, we are hardy Montana girls, and wanted to get our load of treasures home, because the trailer really is filled with amazing stuff!!!!!

We are remerchandising the store from jan 23-26, REOPENING JAN. 27, so plan on joining us for DIVA night friday night Jan. 27th, 6-9PM.

And stay tuned here on the blog for photos of our "trailer and trunk" show!!

All the best, and grateful to be home,

Colette and Rachel

We're on the road Again!

Rachel, get the trailer hooked up so we can leave already!
There's miles to be travelled and dozens of places to shop!

Okay, so winter driving isn't the prettiest, but the trailer doesn't mind that its dirty. it just wants to be on the road, and loaded up with tons of goodies!

Just in case anyone flags us down on the highway and wants to peek at our goodies, we make them drive back to Columbia Falls Montana to see our stuff!

And you can all see our "new" arrivals on Friday January 27th at our first DIVA Date night for 2012! Wine and chocolate will be served while you shop our new found treasures!

SAVETHE DATE LADIES! JAN, 27TH 6-9PM!!!!

All the best,

Colette and Rachel

Windy Wyoming!

As you all know every road trip is an adventure! This is what we have learned so far on this trip to Fort Collins Colorado (wish we could add pictures). 1. It's always windy in Wyoming!! 2. When the neon sign over the interstate says the road is closed to light weight trailers due to high winds, you listen and take the alternate route. 3. The alternate route is prettier anyway! 4. Not many rest stops on the alternate route. 5. When Colette comes out of the outhouse rest stop and says "heres what you need to know" you may want to consider holding it awhile longer! 6. Wind swirls up from the hole in an outhouse. Does anyone know if they make hand sanitizer for your nostrils? Rachel really wanted some! 7. Pair of gloves and Colettes left boot may need to be burned after the incident with the Wyoming outhouse! 8. When you lose the camera, look between your feet on the car floor! 9. When you lose the cell phone, look in the parking lot! This is what we have learned so far! Four days to go I'm sure we will have more wisdom to share by the time we are done! All the best!
