If you are like me, you know exactly who said that, who he said it to and you know where they were standing. I have watched You've Got Mail so many times that I could probably recite it line by line. It's a movie we always watch every time we flip the channel and see that it's own. I guess that's why most of my family can recite it too!

Too many times to count when one of them knows I am about to cry over something, that's what I always hear... "don't cry shop girl".

Never in a million years did I ever think that I would be exactly that - a shop girl!

I know it won't be a permanent position, but for the time being shop girl it is.

Wellspring has officially moved into the Reidville Circle Center, right down the side walk from Ice Cream and Coffee Beans. How great is that? I hadn't been there two hours today when I made my way for my first gallon of strawberry tea! We will be right next door to B & D Family Jewelers, in the old Emblad's Hallmark Store. Right now the sign over our door is from the most recent business, Palmetto Style Salon. We'll take care of that in the very near future.


The name of the store will be Wellspring Treasures. That's representative of the women that will come through the doors of the Wellspring Home. They've been tossed aside and some think they have lost their worth. But thanks be to God, through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ on the cross... they are indeed His treasure. Just like you and me!

The pics above are the before pics. It's really cute in a lot of ways. But it doesn't have that Wellspring feel yet. But is will... soon! We had a sweet friend donate the paint today. We also have some volunteer painters ready to get started.

Maybe you have some time, some muscle, or a highly creative gene that you'd like to share!

Or - maybe you have been needing to do that long over-due spring cleaning. We will be accepting donations in a few weeks.

We would love to have you join the hands on fun. Call me, or if you have already gotten in touch, I will be back in touch with you in the next few days. If you're out and about and want to stop in, call to see if we're in. You can call 809-7457.

It is an exciting time, and it is so very sweet. But we all know that this will pale in comparison to opening the Wellspring Home and loving on that first woman as she walks through the door. To steal another line from another movie... a diamond in the rough!

Remember that one from Aladdin?

So for now... no tears for this shop girl!
