From linens, wall art, lighting and a top soy candle line, it91裸聊视频檚 not hard to walk out of the store with something special.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e been told I am very good at displaying products,91裸聊视频� says Judy Linford, owner of the home decor shop in Parksville. 91裸聊视频淚n my store I have contemporary, farmhouse, shabby chic and vintage styles that I91裸聊视频檓 able to flow together cohesively. I would definitely say that91裸聊视频檚 my strength.91裸聊视频�

Now celebrating her first year of business, Judy says, 91裸聊视频淢y vision was always to have a small home decor shop. Before opening the store I was painting furniture. I really enjoyed taking old pieces that people were discarding and up-cycling them into something beautiful.91裸聊视频�

Judy took this passion and, with support from her close friends, opened the store in March, 2018. She believes that 91裸聊视频渉ome is where your story begins, and you should love where you live.91裸聊视频�

When it comes to her personal style, Judy says, 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 naturally eclectic in style too, and love to mix it up with more classic pieces. Comfort is really important to me, so I tend to sway towards looser fitting clothing and natural fabrics.91裸聊视频�

Judy91裸聊视频檚 favourite part of her job is meeting and helping new customers, and watching their eyes light up as they look around the store.

91裸聊视频淚 have many people say that they just feel so good when they come into the shop. I take it as a compliment 91裸聊视频� having that connection with the customer feels so great. It validates all the hard work.91裸聊视频�

She adds: 91裸聊视频淚 want people to enjoy the experience of shopping here. I have customers come to the store in the hopes it will make them feel better. By chatting and sharing ideas, we hope to offer a great experience.91裸聊视频�

When Judy isn91裸聊视频檛 pouring her heart out in her store or offering workshops, she can be found outside.

91裸聊视频淚 love to garden, so tending to the grounds around the shop keeps me busy.91裸聊视频�

Going for drives and exploring the island often takes Judy to beaches, where she enjoys relaxing on a blanket, with her picnic basket and a good book. Visits from her sons allow Judy to slow things down and enjoy little things like cooking meals for them and their appreciative appetites.

Throughout her journey, Judy has learned that by staying true to her passion, along with hard work and amazing supportive friends, anything can happen.

91裸聊视频淵ou just have to close one door for another one to open, and make sure to continuously evolve and grow,91裸聊视频� she says.
