It was very lucky that Isabeau could get such a cheap price for a shop located in a very nice area of Alliria. It had great bones but needed some work, which Isabeau had hired some help for the door's that nearly seemed to come off, as well as, holes in which mice had taken refuge. Isabeau was thankful for the help, and it wasn't that expensive to get this little shop up and running.
It was a fitting name for her shop The Diamond in the Rough, after all not everything was what it was in this life. It had become a neat little treasure with Issy's help. It was a two store shop, with a nice open space front room filled with shelves of neat little ointments, solves, liquids upon shelves, a counter to help customers, behind the counter a wooden door opens into a large backroom for storing stock and making of herbal remedies.
In the back outside a small chunk of earth that hadn't been created into a bit of road, was now a small garden with a fence around it. The second floor of the store was Issy's home and stairs led up from the back garden into her apartment above. It was always locked, after all one must be careful.
The expression of satisfaction appeared on Isabeau's face, as she gently handed over a bottle of liquid to a customer.
"Yes, it will help with your insomnia, just make sure two teaspoons thirty minutes before you go to bed." Replied Isa her accent was thick enough to be understood. The woman who looked more like she had through a war then not able to sleep due to her husbands snoring appeared relieved paying Isabeau the money she hurried out of the shop. Isabeau's Equine friend Gabby was still at her side making sure her owner was alright, a snort or shake of her head, let Issy know Gabby was still beside her.
The word of the new shop was all that some could talk about in some places of the city , it was very new with interesting knew herb's and things to help those in need, but it also had unique items that was very rare to find in some places, Also the shop keeper was not only a blind woman, but she had a small miniature horse as a pet, it was very unusual but not to uncommon perhaps.
Isabeau continued to work all through the morning and into the evening, counting her steps from register to the selves of solves and back, she would keep track so that she knew exactly where everything was and what needed to be restocked. She hoped that this was going to the beginning of a wonderful life for her and her little companion Gabby.
