I'm so pleased that by the time this year ends, I will have been able to contribute over $700 to two great causes: Conservation Northwest and Save the Manatee Club. Without the enthusiastic support of my wonderful customers, that would not have been possible. Thank you so much!
Wishing you a New Year filled with peace, hope, happiness and love!
P.S. Taking stock of the year gone by, I honestly think some of the best is still hanging on my racks, and to help bring attention to these neglected beauties, I am offering 25% off of any of these through the end of 2012. See my
Facebook page for further details.
