Re-opening soon... but not quite November
Dear all, Hope this newsletter finds you well. A store update as we near the end of November. We are getting close but will not quite be able open the store by the end of November as hoped.

Thank you to those who contacted me with ideas for the store after the last post. I loved hearing from you and
