It's Monday and the day could use some improvement!

There's always room for improvement! If you've noticed my website looks a little different and not in a way that I want it to look. There was a little problem when I did a hosting upgrade and things got all re-arranged. I'm waiting for tech. support to help me clear things up. You can still go to "http://www.underthesunfurnishingsasburypark.com" but it won't look the same. It WILL get cleared up whether tech. support helps me or if I have to do it myself.
Cookman Ave. was quiet today. It was a good day to get other work done. Next weekend is 1st Saturday in Asbury Park. That is when all the stores stay open late and the street turns into a party. There will be a live band in our building, The Shoppes at the Arcade. We always have a great time. It seems that our customers do as well...could it be all the free flowing wine, the free snacks, or is it the great shopping experience all together? Who knows....it's just great fun!

Got the website going

So to put it all in a nutshell ....after being in my storefront for a bit over a year ..I've decided it was time to do a website. Well...it's up and functioning. Just as I do in my store at 658 Cookman Ave., store 17, Asbury Park, NJ, I sell a bit of everything for you and your home. The actual store features more of an organic urban flare with some one of a kind and vintage retro items. The website will offer a different variety of items and the items in my brick and mortar store will also be available on the site by special request. Please check out the site at "http://www.underthesunfurnishingasburypark.com. "
Thanks!
