Meanwhile, later back at the Salon.... (Photo Story)

Right after shooting the video two days ago, my new beauty salon stuff showed up in the mail.  Talk about perfect timing.  Of course, I wasn't expecting to put together a new salon so quickly.  The salon has moved to a new location.  I cleared off a table, brought up some shelving from the basement, and pieced together some walls.  The walls will look much better once I add lots of hair stylist pictures. The table will have magazines, of course.  I also have a lot more accessories to add.  This is just my quick and dirty.  Right below this is where I am building the grocery store.

In this story, it is the end of the day at the salon.  The other stylist has left for the day.  Kara is finally getting around to washing her daughter's hair.  (When I made mention of this in the last video, I had no idea that I would actually be showing it).  Kara's friend Tanisha, has stopped by to shoot the breeze.  The two shampooers are still there, just relaxing.

 

"So are you going to be able to go out tonight?"

"Girl, I keep telling you I have a husband and a child.  I can't just go out with you everytime you get the urge."

"We would go hang out with you tonight, but we both have dates." (Raven)

"Rub it in, why don't you."  (Tanisha)

 

"Mommy, the water's too hot."

"I'm sorry honey.

"We need to help you find a man."
"All the good men in Morristown are taken."

"So what time is Ian coming to pick you up?"
"Not until 9 o'clock." (Raven)
"We should probably get going .  You know it takes you forever to get ready."
"Not all of us have that 'get up and go hair'.  Some of us actually have to use a comb." (Raven)

"Any time you want 'get up and go' hair.  Let me know.  I can definitely hook you up."

"You doing okay, sweetie."
"Yes, but is it almost over?"
"Almost. I'm on the final rinse."

"Ian likes running his fingers through my hair without all the braids getting in the way."

New Projects Coming and New Sofa Listed

We are slowly building up Morristown.  I have started some projects that are in their infancy stage.  The beauty shop, the daycare center, the school room, and the grocery store are all projects that will be in the works the next few months. 

This is the space sleighted for the Beauty shop owned and run by Kara.  This was just a mock up of the room I showed you a couple of months ago.  I want to add wallpaper, flooring, artwork, etc.  The one thing I needed was a hairdryer.  I had put the Gloria furniture beauty shop on my list to buy.  That one has a hair dryer and it would give me another beauty station. 

Well, well, well, as I was searching Ebay for the Gloria set, I came across this beauty (no pun intended).  Actually I came across the one listed below first.  Then saw this one with a "buy it now" for an incredible price and very low shipping.  After hemming and hawwing for about 15 mins, I pushed the button.  It has the hair dryer, the additional beauty station and hair washing station.  AND do you see the massage chair and soaking tub!  This is the MyScene Spa Set.

This is the one I saw first.  I wanted the dolls for the clothes and the man for his body.  This set looks like it has more than the one I bought, aside from the dolls, it really doesn't.  Everything is just positioned differently.  This was a great start price, but no "buy it now" option.  I couldn't take a chance not getting the other one, waiting to see if I could get this one.  There was a third one that was new in the box.  Stilll a great BIN price, but more than mine, and the shipping was more than double.

I have been planning a grocery store.  I have some pieces in my basement.  I wasn't looking for more pieces just yet, but ran across this beauty in my Ebay travels.  It was being sold by a grandma who had bought it for her granddaughter who didn't really play with it.  When compared to the original set, just about all the pieces where there.  I think the table and chairs set she threw in from one of the other sets.  "Buy It Now" price and shipping were incredible! I hesitated as I always do, but as I continued searching I ran across this set again, new in the box for $165.  I couldn't get back to this listing quick enough to push the "Add to Cart" button.  That $30 for this set was looking even better than before.  What do they say?  It's all relative. 

The Etsy Store is practically bare!  So I have to work the next couple of weeks getting some items listed. 

Here is the first one, that I have a feeling won't last long.  The neutrals seem to go fast.

Hmmm.  Maybe Nikki and Kendra didn't go back to work after their lunch at the Japanese restaurant.

Darius can be so tender!  That Nikki is one lucky gal.  Is it me, or is she always in his lap. I'm not hating.  I'm just saying.

There is another set of pillows available with the new sofa, too.
