LOL! Just saw Half's picture! That is a riot. <HP slips C-note in pocket.> If you did dress in that outfit--even for opening day, it sure would attract an audience, Gracie!!! And it would make a big splash in the papers, too. You'd get all your advertising free! Course then you'd have to name it Gracie's Jugs and Mugs.

hey the local BK (yes that's Burger King) has it set up so you have to get a login name and password in order to use their wifi. . . it automatically prints up with the receipt, but i'm sure there are other ways to do it. . . let me think about names a little more. . .I think there might be something with Oasis in it on the tip of my mind. . . .

Thanks for all the pics Julie, that was fun! Perky! Maybe that is what I should call my coffee shop! You have no idea how much coffee I've tasted lately! Learning how is fun and expensive! Yes there will be tea. I'm a tea lover and tea pot collector. The ideas of croissants and cinnamon rolls along with some plain wafer cookies have also been tossed around. As for non-food items I'm not sure yet. They may have to be introduced in the next stage. I like the decor ideas. Oh, and any art on the walls will be mine!

You paint? Take photos, what??? Hey, I like the name Perky!!!! Wonder why? LOL. Oh, good on the tea. I drink only Earl Gray here at home. Love it. I also love teapots but tend to ruin them. So I am always looking for a nice one. If you get a website--hey, a website is something else you need--I will definitely order a teapot from you. This is soooo cool. Gives me one more reason to consider a Texas TVCH get-together, too.

Perky, I'll email you a picture of my mural I did for my son's room. Just coming to see me ought to be incentive enough to come to the Texas gathering Gracie's Jugs and Mugs! I knew I'd get some good ones if I asked! Hey, Half? Wanna lend me your costume? Graceunderfyre, keep thinking. Tabby, there is one in a town nearby called Jo on the Go.

How about having a contest to name the place, advertise it, make a big sign that says 'YOU NAME IT' people will come to enter contest and keep comming back for the product.

Oh my heavens, Gracie! Why aren't you doing murals in people's homes for a living? The one you shared is just beautiful! You have real talent, hon. Real talent! And, as I said in my email, you don't need any help with decor--you have the eye and mind of an artist! Can you somehow copy that pic and show it here to everyone? (I was unable to copy or copy and save.) I think everyone would be astonished. I am so jealous of your talent, Sweetie! No wonder you said all the art would be yours. This whole coffee shop deal is so exciting! I think it's a great, life-altering choice, Gracie!

Ok, here goes. But before I post them I just want to tell you that the pictures do not begin to do justice to the mural. It is truly a work of art and of love.

How did you get the inspiration? To say very impressive is not even close to an understatement.

It was September a year ago when Dra first posted the pics. ETA: My sons were my inspiration.
