Greetings!

Instead of going to the shoppe today, I made an executive decision and stayed home.  As much as I love the shoppe, it is not worth driving in bad weather, especially when it is the first bad day of the season.   So this reminds me to let you folks know that we will do our best to remain open 7 days a week, but if someone is sick or the weather is bad, we may close down.  If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether or not we are open, call us.
