I'm so glad that Grandpa came along, I was getting so nervous. (4:10) I'd love to see someone else reuse the wood. Even if it's not in the best condition you'd be amazed with what modern tools can do to recover wood.
why are you guys in such beautiful dresses for demo-day?? okay girlboss!
It’s our modus operandi at this point 💅🏼💕
You ladies are living my bookshop dreams - so delighted for you and the progress you’ve made and all of your fantastic innovative ideas to build your business ❤ I would LOVE to see a little updated tour of what the shop looks like now (I missed the bit where the check out counter moved to the side) - I understand it’s not finished yet, but I’m in Ireland and likely won’t see it in person anytime soon, so an updated tour would be amazing!!! 🎉
Thank you so much for such a sweet, thoughtful comment! We can and will totally do an updated tour! ❤️❤️
I always love your videos! Y’all are so cute in your dresses and still working hard! Love it ❤ can’t wait for more videos!😊
Aww we appreciate you, you’re too kind! 😊
Yay! I have been missing these uploads!
We missed you too! 🥰
I love the way you wear dresses on demo and remodel days.
It would feel weird to wear pants on demo days at this point 🤣
Love how you used your sunglasses as safety goggles hahaha and the shop is looking better every day!!
Haha thank you so much, you’d think we’d have actual safety goggles by now 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Your DIY skills are both impressive and terrifying to watch for your safety
Thank you, fellow TH-camr 🙏🏼❤️
Awesome to see you again, and my goodness, the work just continues, doesn't it. I hope to visit your bookshop sometime in early 2025 as I'm planning my winter getaway to the Central Coast (Morro Bay, Monterey Bay), and Paso Robles is on the way there. Can hardly wait to shop at your lovely shop!
We love Morro Bay and Monterey Bay so much! What a fun trip! We can't wait to see you in 2025! ❤️
Hi 🙂 Every video, your wonderful book store looks even better. The two of you are having so much fun as you are demolishing the shelves. You both put so much into the store. I love to seeing how much things have moved in each new video. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you.
Thank you so much, Alan! We appreciate you watching and commenting!! Happy holidays! ☺️
Oh my god - you totally gave me a major tb with the „Dragonology“!! Me and my brother loved that book and I had completely forgotten about it..🥹
Aww love that so much! Dragonology was (and still is) seriously the best 😄🐉💚
Why not use the wood for more shelving
The wood from the shelves we demolished was mostly warped, filled with nail/screw holes, or simply too small, not to mention a different type of wood than what we use now for our shelves. But what could be saved, we set outside for people to grab for free haha only the pretty unusable stuff got put in the dumpster!
I loved this so much! 😂❤
Thank you!! ❤️
Love to see the hands-on determination! Lots of work & love goes into the shop
Thank you, friends! ❤️
Missed you all. Great work! The shop is looking so good! 💚🖤
We're so glad to be back, thanks for watching! 💕
Oooh live streams of packing blind book dates would be so fun!
You two are crazy!😊
It’s true 🫨🤣
Yall doing demo in pretty dresses is peak girlhood 💖😂
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do 🤷🏻♀️🤣💕
Received so much serotonin watching you girls go all Wreck It Ralph on the bookshelves, lol! 💪🔨💗
Lolol love this, thank you for watching!
Yayyyy so happy to see you back on my feed!!! I love “patchwork quilt” vlogs like these 😉💜
Oh yay, thank you so much! 💕💕
Missed you girls! Keep the videos coming! ❤❤❤📚📚📚
Thank you! We’re glad to be back and making more videos! 🩵

I am LIVING for this video xD 6 minutes in and I LOVE IT HERE <3
Ahh that makes us so happy, thank you! ❤️
LOL love you girls & what you’re trying to do hahaha… long time viewer first comment I think? The way y’all are getting stuff done! And in your dresses! Girl power ❤I wish y’all the best of luck! Loving all the little details!!
Thank you! We’re trying our best, we appreciate you being here for the ride! 💕
Congrats!
Thank you so much!
Love crushing my workouts from home on the exercise bike, and Yesoul's gear has really stepped up my game. Super steady performance plus super engaging classes make it a total win!
Totally loving my Yesoul exercise bike! It seriously makes home workouts a breeze, plus the classes are super fun & keep me pumped up. If you're aiming to boost your fitness, this bike is a definite must-try!
Your shop looks heavenly. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
Thank you so much! 🩵
😯 omg !
OMGGG LADIES!!! Missed you both, what a great video as always!! The dancing in the book store had me rolling!! ❤
You are too kind, thank you! We’re glad to be back!
Oh heck yeah! I’m in California and will be writing these bookstores down! There’s a bookstore in Modesto,CA that just opened about a year ago called Bookish and it’s super cute!
Oh how cool, we’ll definitely be checking it out! Thank you for the recommendation! :)
Can't wait to see the next vlog
I loved you are supporting other book sellers and you traveled to their shop. Hope to see more in the future. I'm living vicariously through you guys!
Oh, I was waiting to be asked to be maid of honour. I guess Carla makes sense too
...I forget the name of this is still the one I picked at 14. Oh well, I'll remain a man of mystery
Pretty sure I know who this is, bruv 🤣
@@bookshopbesties Dang it!
omg YAAAAY I discovered yall's channel in may and subsequently binge watched all your videos and was eagerly looking forward to your next upload. I am living vicariously through you guys hahaha <3
Aww this is so sweet! Thank you 🥹 we’re happy to be back and hopefully a little more consistent now!
you guys are just so cute, and i'm so jealous of your friendship!
I’ve been with you from getting the book shop and WOW what a transformation. Well done girls from the uk 🇬🇧
Thank you, this is so kind! Can’t wait to someday travel to see the UK bookshops, we hear they’re magical there! We appreciate your support so so much! ❤️
@@bookshopbesties I hope you get to visit soon, you’ll love it here. It’s so green and lush
🩵💓
Looking forward to your travels. I'm craving that sunshine. I've been living in Europe the past six years. Traveling to neighboring countries is so quick and affordable here. I'm in Scotland and the bookstores in the UK are divine. I may be returning to the states next year, so I'm quite interested in your touring. I'm a book lover and currently working out the logistics of transferring my own book business abroad in the future. ❤ 📚 🧳
Loved the travel style video and you guys exploring other stores!😊 Love it! Both books at the end sound great too!
The music is very distracting, especially while you're talking, so I could do without! But glad you girls had a fun trip!
There was an issue with it when exporting, the music was meant to be much lower but iMovie messed it up. Thank you for your feedback though, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Oooh I love witch books❤❤❤
OMG I love this song. So cool to hear it played in 2024.
Congratulations on the sponsorship. Well done!
I admire your restraint, Clio and Carla. If it were me, I'd be hiding in a corner somewhere in the shop, reading a book, while my partner did all the work! I'm guessing there may be time for that once everything is the way you want it and business is BOOMING. Please keep in mind that a small minority of your customers may be afraid of doggies, as I'm in that small minority. Your doggos are just adorable and very well trained (kudos to you), but please be ready to run interference as needed, just in case. I know you're aware of this but I just wanted to put it in writing. Luv you both so much!
Those adorable cat bookends at 8:17. I have those in my bedroom! They're holding up my Folio Society collection. I smile every time I see them. I had to laugh when you mentioned "The dreaded back of the shop..." I think we all have parts of our cupboards/drawers/basements/garages/sheds, etc. that we dread, so this is very relatable. I happen to know from later vlogs that it will all get sorted. 😉
"Jake in his natural habitat" will never not be funny. I need a Jake in my life. 🙂 My dears, your problem solving skills, your can-do attitudes, and your strong work ethics are to be commended. This is all so fascinating to me, although my heart does stop momentarily when you talk about removing support beams and when I see all of those exposed nails and you in your tennis shoes. Are you up to date on your tetanus shots? (wink) Still loving this so very much.
It was so neat to see your whole family/families working together. Loved that. I love seeing your amazing progress. Not enough room? Get rid of some of the Romance and all of those almanacs (or move those to the back). It does look KIND of organized, but it will be great when you get each different genre on adjacent shelves. You're a very brave young woman, and I'm living vicariously through you. Hugs from a friend in California. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off in the end. 📖 📚
OMGGG i love this so muchhh you guys nailed it!!
This is great, are the wooden bookselves attached to pegboard walls or just on that 1 corner shelf? I want to open a bookstore but am trying to figure out how I can get the best prices for lots of shelving like this without being carpentry skilled if you have any suggestions..thank you!!
