It's been a while since I posted.  Things have been pretty busy with the move, upkeep of my old house, and the semester at school coming to a close.  Stress!!

The new house is great, even though I won't have things in their appropriate place for a long while yet.  I found an old mirror in the basement that is still in good shape -- it just needs a good cleaning and then it will be a nice addition to the store.  Also in the basement is a built in unit of some kind.  A workman that I had at the house thinks it might have been an early clothes dryer.  I'm not sure of that, but it is so large that it had to have been built into the house in 1894.  That is going to take some research.

The man that was the first owner of the house was Henry Miller of Miller-Parrott Baking Company in Terre Haute.  I'm going to write up some of that history as I learn more so that I will be able to display that information for my future customers, along with a black and white photo of the original house.  I truly think that part of the allure of my business will be the house itself (and it's history).  Yes, location IS very important to the success of a business!
