Unbearable truth time.
We all age.
Me. You. The kids. Cherished lovers and sworn nemeses. Silver streaks in our hair, wrinkles on our faces, and these ridiculous weird little red dots that just appear without warning on our skin. Ick.
That's the price for successfully surviving another day strolling around this pretty marble of a planet in a well-designed meat suit.
Yay!
But other things age as well, inanimate things like cars, favorite squishy blankets, and my shoppe at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Paint was peeling, the colors had lost their vivid hues, and it was positively shabby.

Life is not about being dull and faded, or accepting being smaller and dim, or just letting it go because we done got old.
Nope.
I have... two days to make the magic happen before opening. Those last photos are what they look like this morning.
..
I got this.
