Kate's Corner

What a difference a year makes! It's still a little hard to believe that one year ago, Liz was writing her last newsletter blurb while I was preparing to write my first. I owe so much to so many people.

 

As a small token of my appreciation we will be celebrating the weekend of my one year anniversary with a special deal for all of you. Anyone that comes in March 14-16 and wishes us a happy anniversary will receive 20% off their entire purchase. I know we have a number of dedicated followers that don't live in Ohio, so we will extend this offer plus free shipping for people that call and wish us a happy anniversary that weekend as well.

This is the first of a number of new programs and promotions we are excited to be implementing this year. Please stay tuned for more fun developments in the coming months, because we couldn't do it without you.

 

As always, thank you for your support and happy reading!

- Kate
