Happy September !!

 Can you believe it’s almost fall already?  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some pumpkin flavored chai tea!

 

If you have been in the shop lately, I’m sure you have noticed the new flooring!  It is really beautiful, especially the entryway!  I love the checkered look!  Now all we need is the bathroom floor to be covered and it’s like a brand new shop!  

Please take note of my new hours coming up soon...
