Today, I thought I would drop by one of the most interesting shops in Moreville. It's a local rock shop owned by a colorful lady named Effie. Her shop has been in business for awhile, and it attracts locals and tourists alike. Looks like business is good...
I'd say Effie's shop did a booming business today. Everyone, including Marianne, got the stones or crystals they wanted. Effie just has to remember to double her order of amethyst crystals since people snatch them up the minute she puts them out. LOL
Here is the shop.
The left side consists of display shelves with various stones and crystals.
The right side consists of a display case which contains the special, more expensive items.
Thanks Effie. We'll come back and visit you again.
This shop was inspired by a real-life rock and crystal shop located in Helen, Georgia, just a few miles up the road from here. It's one of my favorite shops in this area. It always has a colorful collection of all kinds of stones and crystals, from the very large to the very small. A visit to that shop always makes me feel good.
On a personal note: I'm going on a little beach vacation to Tybee Island, Georgia for a few days with my sister Deb. We'll be celebrating her birthday along with a couple of friends. Since there's no wi-fi where we'll be staying, I won't have internet access. So if you leave me a comment here, and I don't respond right away, please know I'm not ignoring you. I promise to respond to all comments when I return next week. Thanks so much again for following my blog. It would be nothing without all of you! :-)
Love the shop!! It came out fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I have you and Marianne to thank for helping me get all the little details together. See you tomorrow! :-)
DeleteHi Cindi, the shop is amazing!
ReplyDeletesure you have quite a collection of lovely rocks and crystal!!!!
Happy vacation
Kisses
Thank you Billa! Most of those stones and crystals are mine, but I borrowed a few from my roommate, Marianne to fill out the shop. That large amethyst on display in the middle of the shop is actually hers. :-)
DeleteHola, que tienda tan fabulosa, me has inspirado, espero sacar tiempo de algo y crear algo tan bello, bonitos dias, descansa y diviertete mucho.
ReplyDeleteHola Lindaivette Montes de Oca!
DeleteEstoy tan contenta de que te gusta la tienda! Me halaga que me he inspirado a crear algo bello por sí mismo. Si usted puede tomar un poco de tiempo cada día para trabajar en su arte, se han creado algo bello por sí mismo en unos pocos días. Gracias por ser una de mis seguidores que usted! Tengo la intención de disfrutar cada día de mis vacaciones de playa. :-)
This was fun! I love the amethyst, it's my birthstone as well :)
ReplyDeleteI used to collect rocks when I was kid. I still have it somewhere... I even took one rock I liked and made it my pet rock when I was like 5?
I love Effie's shop it's lovely!
Thank you Miranda! The local shop that inspired it has a cool mix of all sorts of rocks and crystals. Glad you liked the amethyst! My roommate, Marianne found that when she was hiking years ago in the Colorado mountains. She let me borrow it for Effie's shop. :-)
DeleteLol! I giggled at Effy and Marianne dialogues. Weird and funny! Have fun on your holiday :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sergio!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed it! Marianne knows what she wants and knows how to go about getting it. Effie really didn't want to part with that amethyst, but she couldn't refuse Marianne's offer. I plan on enjoying every minute of my beach holiday! :-)
Love how the shop turned out, Effy should have held out for more $$ LOL I bet if that Marianne wanted it that bad her checkbook would have been opened no matter the price, LOL
ReplyDeleteTwo of my Sisters of my heart away for awhile, gee think of me when watching the sunsets, (Deb can handle the sunrises, LOL)
Glad you like the shop! And thank you for helping me put it all together and letting me borrow that beautiful ameythst for the center display. I agree that Deb can handle the sunrises! LOL And I will be thinking of you while I'm gone! :-)
DeleteEffie has a wonderful shop. She seems like the perfect one to have such a shop. It was great seeing all of the new residents shopping. Hope you are enjoying your vacation!
ReplyDeleteEffie is one of the more colorful Moreville residents. She's been bugging me for awhile about wanting this shop. It just took me awhile to get it all together. I had a wonderful vacation! Tybee Island was great! :-)
DeleteLove Effie's hair and her dress colors - vibrant and warm.
ReplyDeleteI'll never be a good salesperson because the more doll-Marianne pushed for the amethyst, the more I would resist yielding it, lol. Fun seeing the other customers.
Wishing you a great vacation!
The real-life Marianne thought that Effie should've held out for more money! LOL The shop also gave me an opportunity to show a few of the other residents. My vacation was wonderful! A great time was had by all! :-)
DeleteHi, I hope you had a great vacation! This shop is lovely, I would like to wander around in it myself :-).
ReplyDeleteHi Nymphaea!
DeleteI had a wonderful vacation! A good time was had by all. I'm glad you like the shop. The real shop that inspired this diorama and story is fun and charming as well. :-)
