    Now Iv'e gone and done it

    Guys, My hands are shaking. I just came back from signing a lease on a new shop.
    Freedom Kilts is moving!!!!!!!!!!!
    As of the first of May we will move out of my wifes' dinning room and into a real shop.
    The location is close enough to home that if I have to, I can crawl home at night. The shop is huge (for the money) and will be a perfect place to set up the machines. 694 sq. ft. with lots of windows, an existing changing room, kitchen/storage area, and electical outlets everywhere. There is a retail area in the front and room for the three sewing machines, layout and ironing tables, and fabric racks in the rear.
    And the location is perfect. Right on the corner of Fernwood Rd. and Gladstone St. In the Fernwood Village of Victoria.
    AND GET THIS---RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE GERORGE AND DRAGON PUB!!!!!!!!
    I've posted a pic in the Freedom Kilts gallery.
    I can finally hire some help and get my jones time down to a reasonable level.
    Wish me luck on this guys. I'm scared to death.

    Good luck to you! I know you will be successful in your new location, and if things do get stressful just pop by the pub next door and enjoy yourself. Cool place for a kilt shop.
