Falling into place!

Today I tackled one of the bigger projects on my to do list, the window boxes. I have always done the window boxes myself. I come up with what goes in them, gather everything up, remove the old plants, plant the new plants, water them, and then immediately start thinking of ideas for the next season. It's never ending and it takes some effort on my part to come up with different ideas 4 times a year. The new place has 3 more windows, so now I have to do a total of 5 window boxes. It's been a little daunting to me. They can be all the same, so it's not like I have to come up with 5 different ideas, but it's still more than double the work and expense of having only 2. The picture above is of the 2 windows on the new part of my space.
And here is what you all know as the entrance to pepperberry's.

AND, this is the cute little window on the side of my building (facing Rebecca's). This year, I enlisted the help of my sister and mother to gather and compose the window boxes. We loved this idea in the window box above with the topiary...and had I only had 2 window boxes to do, I could have pulled this off, but being there are 5, I had to settle for just doing 1. There was just no coming up with enough of the elements to make 5, so we decided to make this one little window be the lucky one and be the piece de resistance! My only fear is that when you all start using the new main entrace, and park in the new parking lot to the right of my building, you may not even see it! You'll have to peek your head around the corner of the new entry!
Here are some other pretty exciting things that are happening! Tomorrow the window treatments are being installed, the phone company is coming to run the lines in the new space, and I am meeting with someone from Tri County Industries (potentially my new bff depending on how this goes) and hopefully will be closer to getting a dumpster!
Yep, things are falling into place! Movers come in exactly one week!
