If you happen to be driving by, please check out the new front window display, including the addition of a hutch to show off some of our “Home Goods.”  We’ll also be spiffing up the building facade over the next month or so with new paint around the windows and a new, improved, entry gate to the alleyway so keep your eyes peeled.
