Okay, ladies...
it's that time again.

It gets harder and harder to say goodbye to some of these pieces.
But alas, I must make room for what is to come TOMORROW in our new fall line!!!!

This time I am instituting a NEW AND IMPROVED pricing system for my sweet hostesses.

and the uniqueness behind our products and the stories of our artisans.
Offering you an added discount is just my way of sending a virtual hug.  :)
