Holiday Job

Jim and his many jobs:)

My dad and Jim bid a job for the city of Redmond

to permanently set up all of the downtown buildings

with Christmas lights.
So, all last week, they got to be Santa's little helpers.

The city provided the lifts and they had traffic blocked

off and everything!

Vests and hard hats are all part of the job
Here's Jim in the lift.....note the one side

of traffic blocked off just for our guys

Oh hey Jim!
Really hard to capture the end result at night

but it looks amazing!

You guys will just have to drive downtown Redmond

because this clearly doesn't do it!

A random bunch of things

Sorry about the lack of posting....no time these days. This will probably seem quite random.

Last Saturday, we kept the shop open later and had a bluegrass band play on our patio. All of our customers sat outside because it was such a beautiful day.

These guys are called Larry and His Flask and they were great! So entertaining. I didn't have my camera at first so I could only capture 4 members of the 8 piece band:)

I recently enjoyed my first day off in 2 weeks and it was wonderful! It felt weird not being at the shop so, of course I had to go down and check the place out/get my caffeine fix for the day.

Turns out, I have a bunch of awesome employees that I don't have to worry about! The shop has been doing so well! Busy every day, which in this kind of economy, is more than we could hope for.

Oh yeah, I bought adult-sized footie pajamas yesterday, which I'll be living in this winter. Jim loves them!!!

WE'RE OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've been waiting a long time to see that OPEN sign!

It was dark so this picture doesn't fully capture it but

you get the idea

Check out the One Street Down Cafe Logo!
If for nothing else, come work for us for the cute shirts!


Our coffee station with homemade muffins
My dad built the awesome bar


Jim built this beautiful shelf for our flavors....so pretty!
He was the solution to so many of our storage issues
We now use every square inch of wall space for something
thanks to Jim


Why is the owner washing dishes?
Because she's amazing!!!

So Jim saved our bacon and is helping us prep cook

this week. We truly wouldn't have been able to do

it without him. Jordan is our chef in the picture and you

all need to come try his amazing food!

This is only one of the numerous bouquets of flowers

we got on our opening day from our loved ones!

JPG" border=0>Right before opening....believe it or not, these tables were full

both today and yesterday...WOOHOO!!!

Did I mention that she also bakes amazing cinnamon rolls!

As you can see, the entire pan is almost gone.

People came in today based on yesterday's cinnamon roll

recommendations

We didn't advertise at all because this week was considered

somewhat of a soft opening so the fact that we were as busy

as we were was amazing. We had people that have been

watching our place daily, waiting for it to open!

We already have regulars...one guy was in yesterday morning

for breakfast, again in the afternoon for lunch and back

again this morning. God has truly blessed this place and

we're so thankful for it.

Now, you all need to come try it out! We hope you love it

as much as we do! More pictures to come soon
