Happy Fall y’all!! Shoppe Gal Kathleen here! I’m the newest Shoppe Gal at The Doodling Bug in Downtown Apex, North Carolina and I couldn’t be more excited!
Later that week, after dropping my youngest kiddo off at school, I decided it was time to explore Downtown Apex. Most of the shops were closed since it was early in the morning, but I took some great photos, which I have posted here for you to see. I felt happy to be here.
I walked down Salem Street peering into windows, admiring the sky, the buildings and taking in the sweetness of it all. One of the windows that I peeked into was of this cute little shop called, The Doodling Bug. I just couldn’t wait to get back there when it was open. I ended my morning at Common Grounds, making my first Downtown Apex friends.
The rest is history. The Doodling Bug became my favorite go-to shop. It was the place that I purchased gifts for friends to send back to California and pretty clothes for myself. I would also send my Husband there anytime he felt the need to do a little shopping. Wink! Wink! It was a place to always find a smiling face and a warm hello. The Shoppe Gals were always there for a welcoming conversation, making me feel like I was making a new friend. That especially felt good with being a newcomer. How could I not want to go back!
I tend to find a favorite local shop to buy all of my favorite things in every place I've lived. The Doodling Bug is my favorite here in Apex. Hands down. And guess what? I now get to work here! How lucky am I!
I feel very fortunate to be able to get up and go to work for a business that I really enjoy. I am encouraged to get to know customers, which is something I love! I also get to create displays, work the floor, walk outside and wave to a passerby, write this blog and the list goes on and on. All of it, it makes me happy. I am thankful.
I hope that you will stop into the shoppe to see me from time-to-time. Follow us at @TheShoppeGals on Instagram and Facebook too. We are always up to something fun. Most importantly, we are always waiting to meet a new friend that walks through The Doodling Bug's door. I hope that next one will be you! :)
