store so keep it

crafty

uh I also

just I just wanted to thank each and

every one of you for being here you know

crafting to me is more than just an

enjoyable hobby it's a uh it's a way of

life a calling and you know my mother

used to always say that being creative

allows us to live life more fully and we

become a part of something larger each

one of us is a a little square on the

quilt of the global crafting Community I

know my mom could never work on a craft

without a smile on her face which I'm

sure you can all relate to I know I do

so thank

you I agree that was very well said you

know crafting is just as much about

building something outside of ourselves

as it is becoming our whole selves

you're

Crafters creators being artists

it's it's in our blood and by crafting

you are improving yourself while making

the world a prettier place

so what have you crafted lately what do

you mean like you know making something

what have you made lately oh uh well I

was recently inspired by a game of catch

I have it with my nephew Blake I don't

see him as often as I'd like cuz I

travel a lot for business but I use this

portable machine that can print digital

photos on just about anything including

Fabric and then I I hot glued photos of

us hanging out together onto a football

to create a unique craft that even he

could

enjoy oh

wow that's that's um really creative

thanks uh okay everyone well it is

almost time to get started so I'm going

to introduce to you our resident wreath

expert Allison

Garland thanks for having me Nicole hi

everybody um I have some crafty tricks

up my sleeve to make your re the Envy of

your neighbors but first I want to see

what you do so let's get

Crafting woohoo

[Applause]

y uh

hey I just wanted to apologize uh in

there I I didn't mean to insinuate that

you don't have any crafting ability or

that you didn't know what you're talking

about just a lot of people talk about

things that they don't actually practice

so anyway I'm sorry I oh it's okay

really

[Music]

um I'm Nicole I'm Matthew it's nice to

meet you

[Music]

Nicole your speech in there was

moving I appreciate that I I also really

enjoyed your well thought out comments I

have to be honest though you don't

exactly look like the crafting type fair

enough I uh actually just came from work

oh well what do you do I oh sorry um you

kind of meeting someone

tonight oh well of course I'm I would

cards and um you know if you're ever

back in the area you should um stop by

I'd like that me

[Music]

what did you think about that guy that

was in here talking oh I don't know he

was smart funny handsome well spoken

inspirational welld dressed confident

tall already said handsome right you did

and I agree then you better go ask him

out on a

DAT I think I kind of already did what

really yeah but he was going to meet

somebody else later tonight so we'll see

but I gave him my card and I guess we'll

just wait and see if he calls if he

knows what's good for

him it be nice to finally be with a man

who appreciates art with a man who

appreciates

you ladies who do you think of this one

that Debbie's

made I think we have this one's

[Applause]

winner yeah being on the road definitely

has its drawbacks but one of the upsides

is all the artists that I get to

discover around the country it's these

little boutiques they're like a home

away from home for me just never know

when you're going to discover a hidden

talent mhm

[Music]

this is an interesting piece the golden

backdrop actually reminds me of a Gustaf

Kims

what just one of my favorite artists

oh it's fascinating the way she's

leaning against the

chello maybe she's bored if she's

waiting on her turn in

Orchestra she's definitely lost in her

own thoughts though sad about something

maybe what do you

think I'm sure it's worth a lot of

money how do you do it do what walk and

type on such a small device it's a

talent thank

you you know it's also a talent to spend

an entire evening with someone while

completely ignoring him the entire

[Music]

time oh I'm sorry I just don't get any

of this art stuff like I'm more of a

dinner in a movie type of girl there's

this new film playing at the theater in

the mall I've heard it's really great

could still catch the 10:00

[Music]

show

um sure

[Music]

cool

[Music]

man those are going to S really great at

the

[Music]

store

[Music]

hey Luke hey Matt chip yeah thanks what

are we doing oh I'm just refinishing

this you know you're supposed to be

overseeing the renovation not doing it

yourself relax contractor went to lunch

I enjoy doing things like this and kind

of keeps me occupied I don't doubt it

but uh what about the lay out oh

okay over here I'm going to have the

registers and then we have three main

shelving units over here for pillows

throws clothing candle candle making

supplies ribbon bows bees I can keep

going I got all this Meed out in my head

I'm telling you 4 weeks from now when we

open the doors for the first time you're

not going to know this store ever

started looking like this good work Luke

thanks oh I got one more thing okay take

a look at this oh huh huh yeah uh what

is this for oh you know to one up the

competition I I noticed that craft shop

around the corner they do this every

single month and your dad asked me to

come up with ideas to you know help get

rid of them right uh you know I I love

the initiative but I think you got

enough on your plate just getting the

store

ready I I think we're going to have

plenty of time later to strategize

events to upstage the competition so I

think let's just shove the crop for now

oh okay you're the boss but you know

your father said it was very important

for us to make a strong statement to the

community right up front not to worry we

will okay good to see you hey same

[Music]

here you know it feels good to be back

in town for a while even if it is just

for business how did the date go ah um

little gallery near the new location had

a window exhibit featuring local artists

so we checked that out huh she has an

interest in art no which is why I won't

be seeing her again ah well I guess

you'll find the right woman

eventually and what about the crafty

companion I met the owner local girl

Nicole something she was hosting this

small crafting competition yesterday

she's cute too oh good use that to your

advantage get close to her convince her

to sell her shop is a thing of the past

Mitchell's arts and crafts is the

future wow that is cold dad she's a

sweet woman I don't want to ruin her I

need you to get this done son I mean get

her to close or I'll find someone who

can yes sir good Justine

[Music]

oh those new Flyers yeah I'm making a

few custom ones for next month's pumpkin

cut and craft crop oh I love it I mean

cute I love the little pumpkin faces

what did you use to make it I used canva

helps even someone like me appear to be

talented oh stop it you are talented do

you remember that amazing Christmas

garland you made and I had it hanging

huh the guy what oh Mr so it is

okay hi hey can I help you yeah my uh my

friend just had a baby girl and I was

wondering what she could do to

immortalize her adorable daughter's

Footprints well you could press her feet

into some safe non-toxic plaster and

create a holiday keepsi ornament might

be just a a tad obvious don't you think

well um you could use some organic ink

and use the baby's feet like Stampers on

ank in pad and uh press those little

tootsies right down on some aged

parchment or if you want to add a bit of

Whimsy you could transform those toes

into an animal of your choice will you

go out with

me I thought you had a date last night I

did but it was a first and a last date

she wasn't my type oh well what if I'm

not your type well my type tends to be

of the cute clever and crafty nature one

they can name three different ways of

getting a baby's feet dirty in the name

of art without breaking his sweat

doesn't sound like anyone I

know

I tell you what if it's not you then we

don't have to go out

again okay but a warning I don't break

out the sequence on the first date okay

then I will leave my rhin down tuxedo at

home and I'll pick you up at 8

okay

okay

[Music]

oh

hey what do you

think you know the way it's painted it

reminds me a lot of uh gusta Clint yeah

because of the golden backdrop yeah

exactly that's what I was thinking yeah

I love it though the way her hand is

just resting on the cello there with her

head I know I want to know what she's

thinking is she bored with her music

lesson

no now she seems sad about something

but really beautiful piece of art

work what do you think I agree

completely yeah it's it's

beautiful

[Music]

so uh do you travel a lot for work yeah

I have to I oversee operations around

the country

so my job bounces me between cities

constantly flying new city every week

that sort of thing are you you on the

road now no no I live here well sort of

I mean I have an apartment in the city

but it's kind of hard to call it home

cuz I'm always on the

road not let get old not having a place

to really feel settled

yeah but I meet a lot of great people on

the

road what they say on those embroidery

pillows long as where the heart is it's

very

true something

wrong no uh I was just thinking that

there's this new ice cream parlor that

just opened up a couple blocks down the

street do you feel like

dessert you read my

mind would it be too soon n to see you

again second date sounds

lovely

[Music]

good so we have nearly twice the square

footage of the crafting companion plus a

lot more room for storage of extra stock

so we're going to have a lot more

product to offer really never run out

anything pretty much guaranteeing this

store is going to be a success look we

don't need a guarantee we haven't had a

Mitchell's location fail in over 20

years yeah yeah but the last one that

failed failed in this town and I failed

because of crafty

companion really I I didn't actually

know that are you sure yeah nobody

thought that quaint little shop could

pose a threat to a business of our size

so they ignored it that was a

mistake and that is why my father is so

intent on closing down her business her

Let's uh let's get back on point

something bothering you

Boss Matt Matt I've worked for your dad

for nearly two decades and I've known

you since we were kids so I know you

well enough to know that you've been

distracted since you walked in

here talk to me boss I met a

woman you must really like her yeah who

is she the owner of the crafty

companion oh all right so she's the she

she's she's the she okay all right and

what does she think of Mitchell's

opening up store right around the corner

from

hers she doesn't know no listen I I

wanted to tell her and I almost did a

few days ago when I first met her but I

just I really want her to get to know

the real me

first okay right but I I take it you've

uh not told her the real 's last name

yet she can't know okay not yet oh where

serious what she look like she's a

masterpiece don't give me that look

do you see it's a redheaded

woodpecker a crafty as woodworker what I

got to get a photo I love woodpeckers oh

nice see it maybe zoom in a little bit

no I think he flew away oh no we

him let me try

this you did that on purpose maybe all

right well here let's do this oh okay

all right we going to get real close and

say cheese

[Music]

cheese y let's see how it turned out yes

yeah of

course it's actually really cute oh I

love it that's a great picture

yeah

this been really nice yeah it was you'll

uh have to send me that picture yes

yeah so I've been uh meaning to ask you

how did you become the owner of the

crafty

companion well uh my parents were both

art lovers and they open the store when

I was about 10: I remember going there

every day after school and staying till

it closed and your parents they worked

together in the store all day long they

did they did and yeah they were very

happy never got sick of each other where

are they now uh well my parents actually

passed away a few years ago both of them

so yeah Eric and I inherited the store

and uh you know he is in law enforcement

so I pretty much run the day-to-day of

things well Sarah helps me of course

she's practically family too sorry to

hear about your parents but that's it's

going to be kind of nice to get to spend

so much time with your best friend and

your brother it is yeah but uh so get a

little lonely

[Music]

[Music]

sometimes

[Music]

personalized mint tins as wedding

fers I'm going to have to make you start

wearing a bell isn't looking for

weddingcraft ideas after one date a bit

premature first of all it is my business

to stay up on the world of crafting and

technically yesterday made it two dates

so then I'm guessing went pretty

well well exactly I want details where

did you go well we went down to the art

gallery but it was closed so we stood

outside and just looked at the window

display and he had the best comments

about the art so what does he do

obviously he's connected to the art

world having blurted out all that stuff

at the crop well actually he's in

business what

business you know we didn't really talk

about that but we did talk about art and

family and nature oh we went to the park

yesterday I know it was such a beautiful

day but it was kind of sad you know when

he asked me to go for a walk in the park

I didn't know what he meant mean the

idea of walking without a destination

just seemed so foreign to

me you need to take some time off yeah

well one does not just take time off

when running a business especially when

our sales are low and our lease isn't

even renewed I think you need to

schedule a third date I did lunch

today oh right now in fact sorry to skip

a lot of math to look forward to wait do

craft Biz Plus to manage our sales and

inventory systems

W crafting companion is still a little

old school paper logs and ledgers hm

with Matthew

Mitchell as in Mitchell's arts and

crafts

Matthew Mitchell yeah they are opening

up around the corner

wait what when what corner the building

must have been under renovation on

Russell Street they're set to open in 3

weeks this will ruin us Nicole has no

idea does

she

none look I've got to get back to patrol

but what do you think about grabbing

dinner tonight to talk about all of

this sure sounds great good I'll text

you when I finish sounds good oh and uh

don't say anything to Nicole yet why not

I just think we need to uh come up with

a plan to break the news without hurting

her

okay thanks

[Music]

okay hey hey

[Music]

that was a long Lune must have been good

oh it was it was it's lovely uh I also

had some time to stop by the office

supply store and pick up the software oh

no what hey Nicole oh hey you right on

time thanks so much for coming by today

to give me the accounting lesson I

really appreciate it you are welcome and

these are beautiful I glad they make me

smile and this is my friend Sarah hi

Matthew purpose friend the person who

cares for her like nobody else in the

entire

world wow you sound like a

good friend yeah borderline crazy friend

but a good

one so what brings you around Matthew

he's going to teach me craft Biz Plus

really you're helping her oh yeah I am

the guy that's going to upgrade your

software to the 21st century mhm I been

trying to get you to use that software

for years well yeah but you don't even

know it yourself and Matthew does so

he's just going to walk me through it

when I'm done with her inventory will be

as easy as an origami

Goose you're welcome to learn it with me

if you want I don't think I see the

point uh well the point is to track

inventory and manage our sales

better can I talk to you alone for a

minute

no sure

[Music]

okay what do you think you're doing I'm

helping Nicole learn important small

business offw I know who you are Matthew

Mitchell I want her to get to know the

real me before before you destroy her

family's

work you need to go in there and tell

her the truth I am going to just not yet

tell her I will no I can't okay I just

need a little bit more time I I promise

I'm going to tell her I'm going to come

clean I just I really want her to get to

know the real me before before you put

her out of

business The Crafty companion is all

that Nicole and Eric have left of their

parents I just need a little bit more

time to figure out how to work this all

out please figure it

out

so uh what was that all about oh uh we

were um just in a round of the age old

debate between the difference of Art and

crafting and I maintain they both

provide the same results and that is

oh bringing people

together so what do you think should we

get started yeah yeah you know what I'm

going to leave you to it I actually have

dinner planned later tonight so I'm uh

just going to

go okay I will see you tomorrow I

guess so yeah uh well craft his plus yes

cfic is plus

okay I was an it's wrong Eric and you

know

it he knew who she was from the

beginning he came by a craft CR you saw

him there he's sizing up the competition

he gets to know her figures out her

weaknesses and then he strikes by

teaching her how to use an advanced

inventory in counting

software smth is rather

counterproductive don't you think he's

devious he brings her in close so that

when he strikes he can assure it's a

deadly blow or maybe he likes her and he

really is trying to help look I've been

thinking a lot about this this needs to

come from Matthew he needs to be the one

to tell it the

truth so if he really does like her if

his feelings for her are truly

genuine then what happens when she finds

out the

truth she'll be

devastating okay so here's my plan I

tell her I'm her best friend it's my

okay sir

stop we're having dinner

together like two Pals having

dinner sure like two Pals for

now some bread for you folks yes please

thank you my

pleasure maybe you're right we shouldn't

medle we should just let Matt tell her

when he's ready what is it a at 10:00

hey

guys oh wow I didn't know this is what

you meant by dinner

plans uh Eric this is M Matthew heard

all about you oh you have

oh yeah Sarah's been raving about him

all evening oh

really oh oh I wanted to tell you

Matthew also she'll be this great new

software it's really going to help us at

the store great you know I can't think

of anything stopping the business from

just really picking off him can you

Matthew it's just software it's really

good software so Matthew is there

anything else you want to tell Nicole

about other than T I'm actually star do

you want to have do you two want to uh

join us no rain Che um I was actually

hoping to spend a little bit more

quality time with Nicole they don't want

to hold you two uh Matthew it was a

pleasure likewise good to see you again

Sarah good to see you likewise all see

you later by two

bra well that was not subtle but we

agreed that he had to tell her so I was

just trying to

help

you know you're pretty cute when you're

all fired up

thanks so for now we agree to just let

things play

out if Nicole finds out that we

[Music]

knew but I agree she should find out for

herself what do you say we enjoy the

salad Steven looks pretty good you

should always eat your greens you should

always eat your

[Music]

greens

is that a deal

breaker are we a deal I would like this

could be a

deal just look concerned because every

day I want to see see more of you and

I'm afraid I'm going to be seeing

less

yeah Hey listen there's there's

something I need to tell you and it's

not easy for me but I haven't been

entirely forthcoming with you oh my gosh

you're actually married and you have a

family in another state across the

country wow no that's not it that's

crazy does that happen oh yeah I've read

about it in blogs no um I'm not married

and I don't have a family well I mean I

have a family but not like a family

family listen what I'm trying to say

is Mitchell's Mitch yes Mitchell's arts

and craft the Big Chain trying to buy my

store the enemy we have to follow that

truck wait Nicole

hey hurry up they went this way I'm

coming

coming around the corner I'm coming I'm

[Music]

coming this

I think we lost some I can't believe

this well it's still in town somewhere

though I can smell the stink of

corporatism I don't SM like oh I can do

you they've been trying to get rid of me

for

months anyway what were you going to

tell me before what before we started

running you were about to tell me

something you know what I don't remember

but I guess if I block Sprint we'll do

that to

you okay what do you say Walk You Home

oh well I actually have to go back to

The Crafty companion and finish up

inventory it's so late well that mean

taught me that software it should be a

piece of

cake right okay uh lead the

[Music]

[Music]

way well I um I had a really nice

night yeah me too uh

good night

Nicole yeah uh good

[Music]

night come on pick up pick up pick up

pick

up hey Matt hey Luke yeah I know it's

late sorry thank you for pick up uh we

got to get that truck unloaded and out

of sight tonight what's the rush I don't

have time to explain okay we just got to

get it done so I'm going to head over

there right now to help yeah uh well I

think if we both work at this we could

probably get this truck out of here

around 6:00 a.m. that's the spirit all

right just remember this come Christmas

bonus season all right I we do thank

[Music]

you morning

Dad any updates in a roundabout way

what's the problem now uh latest

shipment of inventory arrived last night

we had the truck unloaded by morning

overtime that was necessary I mean how

much did that cost us Luke and I took

care of it good I don't know what we do

without Luke I will take care of him

yeah what are you not telling

me can we sit

sure

Dad I'm in

love oh that's why you've been so

distracted lately yeah who is

she her hair flows off her shoulders and

floats near like it defies gravity and

her eyes are so big and expressive they

belong on a character in a children's

book that her face is so perfect that da

Vinci would have trouble capturing every

detail and she can she can stare at a

painting for as long as I can and she

understands the fact that craft

makes this messy world a better

place and I just I feel like I know

exactly how she feels at every moment

and it's very strange

but it's also very

wonderful sounds like maybe you found

your own Queen her name is Nicole bordon

and she owns The Crafty companion oh oh

the truth finally comes out let me guess

she she doesn't know who you are and uh

you haven't even discussed the offer yet

she knows who I am even if she doesn't

know exactly what I do and no I'm I'm

sorry I I haven't had a chance to talk

to always with the apologies mad I mean

sorry doesn't pay the bills sorry

doesn't grow the business sorry is

something what

stop all you literally care about is is

work and money I you used to say that

this was a family-owned business but

ever since mom died all you care about

is money

did you not hear a word that I just said

to

you look

for

pull myself out of

it don't ever believe money is worth

more than love I would trade my entire

Empire for one more day with your

mother I missed my

queen oh she sure knew how to keep us in

check didn't she she

did maybe this woman is going to become

your wife

Maddie but how am I going to work this

out Dad we're likely going to put her

out of business either

way

when I met your mom I was

broke scraping by to pay the rent and

and your mom takes me to meet your

grandparents for dinner they were not

exactly impressed that she was dating a

starving artist they did everything they

could to keep us apart

everything but nothing could what

happened I worked two jobs saved up

enough

money to buy this

[Music]

I used to love seeing that on Mom's

finger

yeah I hope you found the love of your

life

[Music]

buddy this girl may be the

one and it's just all so

complicated I'm sure you got to find a

way to do what's right for you

both thanks

dead hey Eric good morning your sister's

not in yet I'm actually not here is here

look this has taken me a long time

but well here it

goes will you go on a date with me

preferably one where we're not talking

about my sister the whole time like a

real thing yeah like a real date just

the two of us I thought You' never asked

ask what do you want to uh check your

schedule and text me sounds like a

plan well then I will see you later okay

all right bye

[Music]

father called yesterday but I stalled

him yeah I told him everything this

morning oh good know how much longer I

could avoid my boss's boss so thank you

ahead and hang the sign the element of

surprise is not effective in

business so you told her I'm going to

tell her today all right I'll hang it

this afternoon okay all right let's get

to work let's do

it

yeah all right I'll call you

[Music]

back I'm looking for a Nicole bordon

yeah um I'm her ah I'm Lloyd worth

Judith's

brother oh uh we were just about to call

her about our lease renewal how is she

she's

gone what do you mean she passed away a

few days

ago oh my

gosh what what happened no she went

peacefully in her sleep no doubt

dreaming of her next big craft project

oh wow um we're really going to miss her

I mean she was always so kind to me and

such a lovely woman do you have the the

funeral Arrangement information I know

we'd probably like to go pay our

respects oh of course but I didn't come

by to tell you of my sister's passing I

came to tell you that I won't be

renewing The Crafty companions lease

what why not why already spoke to the

new owners of a Frosty froo they didn't

Flinch when I quoted them a rent twice

what you're paying there's there's got

to be something that we I'll give you

until the end of the month to get rid of

inventory know you'll probably want to

have a

sale have a nice day um excuse me Lloyd

but my store does a great business okay

and it has for 25

years we promote the Arts the

Arts I'm sorry it's a CFT store not an

art

gallery well art comes in many forms Mr

worth you know Judith told me about you

that you're more concerned with money

than art I take that as a compliment

even though I realize that was not the

intention well we can pay more in rent

if that's

what I don't think so especially with a

you know what moving in in a couple of

weeks no I won't take that chance I'm

actually doing you a favor I'm helping

you you know prevent postponing the

inevitable so you're welcome have a nice

day

again did that really just

happen you know what let's let's close

early um I'm going to go for a walk just

clear my

head

yeah no that's nice and level that's

good

good hey Luke I uh just noticed that the

ceramic pumpkins we ordered aren't going

to be here in time for our grand opening

in 2 weeks I'll make a call

problem

Nicole Matthew uh

Mar Matthew Mitchel no it's not how it

looks okay yeah it is how it looks but I

I tried to tell you the other night and

that the truck rolled by why wouldn't

you tell me sooner I mean when were you

planning on it today I was going to tell

you today a yeah that's convenient I I

know I should have told you sooner I'm

sorry I messed up you lied to me you

lied to me Matthew this entire time it's

been you trying to steal my business I

didn't lie to you I just didn't tell you

the whole truth because I wanted you to

get to know me the the real

[Music]

me well now I know exactly who you are

Matthew so

goodbye

[Music]

here's your

tea although if you ask me this is more

of a chocolate ice cream

situation yeah I don't even think ice

cream could fix this

one you ready to tell me what happened I

don't even know where to

start start by taking a deep

breath

well Matthew

is Matthew Mitchell of Mitchell's arts

and

craft and they were opening a big store

right around the corner from crafty

companion in two

weeks that's what Lloyd was talking

about when he broke our leas I'm so glad

he found

out

well you knew I was going to tell you

except he was helping you with the

inventory and then when I confronted him

outside he promised me he would tell you

I wish you would have told me Sarah I am

so

sorry I thought it was best that he told

you what am I going to

do I can't compete with a big chain like

Mitchell's

and the story was my family's

Legacy and I feel like I'm letting them

down you're not letting them

down but we might want to update our

resumes yeah it's probably a smart idea

cuz

uh I think crafting companion is

finished and once Mitchells finds out

that we don't even have a lease anymore

I mean there's not even going to be a

buyout

offer

I guess we'll start packing up in the

morning how about you go take a long hot

shower and afterwards we can order some

food that's bad for us

okay

yeah

yeah that sounds

nice special delivery special delivery I

don't think we're expecting anything

well considering a guy around the corner

just gave it to me with a pretty big tip

I call it special delivery oh thank you

have a good

day what is

it it's the painting that Matthew and I

looked at on our first

date

as much as I hate to admit

it that's a really beautiful

gift yeah it really

[Music]

is I finally met the perfect woman and I

wanted you to feel the same about me I

knew I had a mountain to climb and I

took a shortcut I'm sorry for not being

up front with you Matthew

he yes I'm not done

climbing okay so the point of sell

system on the floor it's hooked up to

the computer in the office right great

yeah now take a look sorry we're closed

grand openings in 2 weeks so we only

have about 6x3 over it yeah uh map

what oh yeah yeah

yeah hi

[Music]

Nicole I'm

sorry yeah I

know uh look I I came here I've I've got

to be honest with you which is something

that I wish you'd been with me but I

deserve that can I just show you around

first uh

sure

um the cash registers are going to go

right over there oh it's a good place to

start especially since money is more

important than everything

right right uh let's move on shall

we um just off to the right of the the

center aisle there will be pillows

throws and other home decor and then we

have clothing candles and candl making

supplies and then by the time we hit

Gold Leaf we will move into other forms

of metal crafting I do love working with

gold leaf

me

too and then in the the next aisle we

will

have art and Frames oh you know really

surprised though that you don't have any

like handmade crafts from local artiss

you know well we sell mass produced

Decor so right but I mean nothing

motivates the purchase of arts and craft

supplies like seeing the inspiration of

possibilities it's interesting

yeah I mean you know a customer comes in

and buys a completed needle point pillow

that their neighbor made and then you

know they come back and decide they want

to do it themselves from scratch so you

have a local needle point Enthusiast

who's here teaching a tutorial at your

craft crop and then next thing you know

you've got a whole bunch of new needle

pointers that are buying up all your

needle point

kits it's a good tip I will talk to Luke

about it you're

welcome I got to say though I'm a little

envious of all the space you have

here you have you thought about doing

coffee mean like so coffee here in the

store yeah yeah why not I mean I was

dreamed of doing a coffee cart in my

store but you know with those real

pretty ones with all the beautiful gold

fixtures and stuff looks so cute in here

you got the space for it the

neighborhood could use a good coffee

shop no I I guess a coffee cart would

bring in a steady flow customers it's

what all the big bookstores do while

people are waiting for their latte

they're wandering around the store and

they see a display full of handcrafted

local Goods you know boom right away

imples

SP you've thought about this a

lot guilty is charged a bit of a dreamer

you're a

Visionary

maybe

so

anyway I um I just I came here to uh let

you know that the crafty companion is no

longer a threat to

you we lost our lease so I've decided

that I won't be moving to a new

[Music]

location I guess you

[Music]

win

you can't possibly be making a profit at

these bargain prices I mean I feel so

guilty well please don't I'm glad you're

stocking up and besides there's not

really much we can do to save the store

anyway so especially with Mitchell's

grand opening next week oh well good for

them

hey I put aside a big box of fall

decorations and everything we had in

stock for the holidays Nicole wanted me

to give them to you but I think we

should pay I would never rip off my own

story even though this is Bittersweet I

know I feel the

same

hey

hey I'm sorry about the

store I know how much it means to you

how much it meant to Mom and

Dad all of

us yeah well it's okay I'll be all right

you know we always have our memories

besides I I don't know that I was really

cut out to run a business anyway I bet

to differ now you were the only one who

could run this business after mom and

dad passed away and you were cut from

the same cloth as them I

mean just look at this place

ni it's like they never

left spoken like a true big brother

thanks

Eric on that note I've got to get back

to patrol but we will we'll talk later

okay hey Jason just s over here

[Music]

thanks

[Music]

hey what do you think of this sounds

good

okay

[Music]

we had a good

run yeah we did didn't

we 25

years so it's really over

[Music]

May it's for the best you know running

your own business is it's hard work this

way I can just get a regular job and

come home at night put on my slippers

and um I don't know Mac or make a wreath

or something that's what I do it's

pretty great but now I'll have a lot of

time to craft is it possible to have too

much time to craft I guess we'll find

out I hate to leave you but I promised

Eric I'd meet him for dinner do you want

me to stay no no go enjoy your

date

thanks he really does make me happy well

good he's a great guy me take it for me

I've kind of known him his whole life

so see you

later

[Music]

hey Dad Matthew come in are we ready for

the grand opening actually I am

postponing it why the delay because with

this location I'm changing things I'm

expanding the types of things that we

sell Reinventing the wheel Wheel Works

it's round any other shape and you're in

for a bumpy ride don't hear me out okay

imagine a store that sells handmade

crafts made by local Artisans that will

inspire new hobbyists to buy craft

supplies events hosted by local artists

and an espresso cart that'll help

generate new customers are these your

ideas oh

Luke's actually they're

Nicole's the woman you love sounds risky

you took some risks over the

years so I take it your conversation

with her went well no actually it it

didn't but you will be happy to know

that she has decided to close her store

and it it isn't going to cost you a

penny sounds good but I can tell it as

made you

happy come on dad we got to do something

to fix this I mean we just ruined that

woman's

life well how to fix it is now up to

you what do you

mean because I'm officially

retiring the business is

yours enjoy the office and good luck

with your expansion plans I'm sorry I I

don't follow why all the sudden oh it's

been a long time coming

Matt you know it was that conversation

we had the other day it made me realize

there is more to life than

business something I hadn't even

considered before we lost your

[Music]

mom I think that's the first time I've

ever heard you say that I'm proud of you

Dad oh and one more thing I think it's

time you had this Mom's

[Music]

ring are you

sure I know true love when I see it and

you're in love just like I

[Music]

was thank you thank you with all of my

heart thank you you're

welcome

Hey

Dad I love

you I love you too

[Music]

son hey hey look go it what is that ah

this is the curveball you threw my way

you want to take a look yeah

sure

T wow huh here's a beauty yep yep yep

I've never operated a coffee maker this

fancy before so there may be a learning

curve don't worry we're going to hire a

barista oh I was going to suggest that I

just didn't want you to think I wasn't

up for the

task Luke you are always up for the task

thanks which is why I have a new task

for

you what's

that I need a new senior Vice President

of

Operations um where are you going dad is

officially retiring so I'm going to take

over the day-to-day operations and I

need someone to oversee the operations

around the

country uh it's a big pay raise what do

you

think I think I'm your new replacement

yeah yeah thank you hey but now you

really won't be able to do everything

around here yourself delegating will be

your new way of life yeah I can get used

to that to a

degree maybe wait wait who's going to

who's going to run the store then I'm

not sure yet but I have a couple of good

candidates in mind okay all right all

right talk to you soon wow uh thanks

boss you are the boss now I am the boss

now enjoy what can I get you remember

with the twist so we finished up

virtually all of the inventory Nicole is

lucky to have such a good partner friend

to

help and I really appreciate everything

you've done for our family too you're

pretty amazing I think you're pretty

amazing

[Music]

too okay so I got to be

honest I have wanted to ask you out for

the longest time

since we're being completely

honest from the moment Nicole introduced

me to you I was hoping it would I

remember it was my first day of the

crafty companion and all of a sudden

inops her cute brother and what do I do

I you KN over to

flower I can't believe you remember that

of course I remember that I really like

that

Bas and she just happened to hire the

cutest employee

how could I

forget I was so nervous that Nicole was

going to fire me on the spot n she would

never fire you she's lucky to find

someone with such great

values it's a hard quality to

find well look at

you you both lost your parents Nicole

took over the store and you never gave

up your dream of protecting the town you

grew up in yeah the community means so

much to me and

Nico

you and

Nicole mean so much to the

community to The Crafty

companion it's a new

[Music]

beginnings

[Music]

Nel for your thoughts I thought it was a

penny factoring for

inflation it's got you

down I should feel like I'm on top of

the world right now but all I can think

about is the fact that I just ruined

that poor woman's life a woman that I am

absolutely in love with and now likely

wants nothing to do with

me try to put some trust in the

universe huh things have a way of always

working out you think

so it's got me this

far

thanks

Nicole I

uh I honestly didn't think I'd see you

[Music]

again wow so you took me seriously about

the coffee

cart putting a coffee cart in an arts

and craft store that's crazy yeah the uh

the boutique be teaming with connoisseur

sipping lattes and admiring Deco

page you say

so it's because you said

so I'm really glad you're here I I want

to show you something I was thinking

about hanging this behind the coffee

cart what do you

think I think it's

beautiful and I think you are far more

talented than you

realize

you really outed yourself can you ever

forgive

me look

Matthew all I can think about is US

walking through the park arm in- arm and

bird watching

and looking at the window art display

holding hands and discussing the nuances

of scrapbooking and a lifetime of

crafting over carel lattes and I

just the more I think about it the more

I realize that you are a genuine person

who made a mistake and I am I am that

genuine person I am so sorry and if you

just give me another chance to show you

I will never let you

[Music]

down look

Mathew you know crafting is just as much

about building something outside of

ourselves as it is becoming our whole

selves I'm Nicole I'm Matthew it's nice

to meet you Nicole

you're all Crafters creators being

artists it's it's in our

blood it doesn't matter if you're

painting a masterpiece or decaging a

collage or sewing a quilt your art is a

piece of you that reflects back into the

world I haven't been entirely

forthcoming with you it's not how it

looks I know I should have told you

sooner I'm sorry I messed up

[Music]

PS I'm not done climbing

I forgive

[Music]

you so there's a there's a fifth date on

the table well I prefer to think of it

as a second first date clean canvas

yeah uh there's just one problem what's

that well with all the improvements

which I do want to implement in all of

our

locations I had this crazy idea that

maybe it was time to ref refresh the

company name

too how would you feel about a merger

what your family's Legacy could live on

with

Mitchells how does Mitchell's crafty

companion sound to

you I could use a great partner and

together we would make an Unstoppable

team there is one more thing I don't

have a general manager for this store

Sarah would be perfect are you

serious

I

[Applause]

accept hey all

[Music]

right hey I've been uh I mean need to

talk to you about something yeah about

what well Mitchell started off as a

family business and I'd really like it

to stay that way and I know this might

seem sudden but I know in my heart and

soul that we are meant to be together

and I can think of no better time or

place to do this than at the launch of

our new

partnership I want us to craft a life

together oh my is this just really

[Music]
