Bloom & Bee Swanky: January 2010

PLEASE PRAY

I don't share too much personal information here, but the Bloom & Bee Swanky family got hit hard twice today and we need your prayers. Debi's two year old gorgeous grand-daughter Shannon was terribly burned today by scalding grease. I don't know much yet, but it was severe enough for her to bee flown to Parkland Burn Center in Dallas. All I can say is Pray!

After working 4 hours on her feet at the shop today Bev and I demanded that Becky go and see a doctor. She was out of breath and just didn't look well. The doctor sent her to the hospital with Congestive Heart Failure. Matt and I are on our way to bee with her now. Please Pray!

I will keep you posted and believe where there are 2 or more are gathered... Please pass this on to everyone you know and we truly appreciate and NEED your prayers tonight!

UPDATE:
God is SO Good! Shannon suffers from second and third degree burns but is going to bee OK! Only a few drops got on her face. Most of the damage was to her ear, shoulder and the top of her foot.

Becky is home and recovering. They both have a long recovery ahead of them and many more treatments. Now I ask that you pray for a painless and complete recovery! I am in awe at the amount of e-mails from all of you concerned and know that they are both doing well do the power of your prayers! Thank-you!

As you know, we rarely offer discounts as our prices offered are very fair and we have so many one-of-a-kind finds that never last long - so these are crazy low prices. If there is something else in the store that you have had your eye on now is the time to ask and I will help you if I can THIS WEEK ONLY through Jan 23rd.

I have tuck loads and pallets full of new products both new and old that will bee trickling in over the next 2 months and everything listed above must go to make room. The girls and I will bee cleaning out the stock room bringing every last item out and completely rearranging the store. Debi and I have big plans including a new color palette, moving our check out area and even an indoor garden area so you will want to stop in often to see what is up our sleeves.

Tunnels Connecting Two of the Buildings at the Atlanta Market connecting never ending hallways of showrooms

I had the pleasure of taking Shop Girl Amy J. with me to Atlanta for a few days. I am so glad I did though she may feel otherwise. The day after we arrived I came down with something terrible. You know that kind of sickness that hits you in the face suddenly out of nowhere leaving you non functioning. It landed me in the hospital during an historic ice storm in downtown and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. As an interior design major she was so looking forward to her first trip to market and even though she didn't get to see much of it she never complained, not once! I have the best staff and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

As Jessica Says, "The Happy End" !
