We enjoyed our many years operating from the Wedge-Jones building, but when the time came for her to be renovated we had to move. After a long search, we found a suitable location, signed a lease, closed our doors, and began the arduous task of packing and moving multiple levels of fragile items, heavy furniture, and large display units. It was overwhelming and stressful, but we were optimistic about the opportunities the new location offered. Unfortunately we never got the chance to see how successful we could have been in the new location. Reaching out for help on such a sensitive topic was a difficult decision, but we don't have many options; the long wait for minor construction to be completed was financially devastating. With Patti's back injury we are going to have to hire help to pack and move everything all over again. We understand that times are tight and not everyone can contribute monetarily, but even sharing this post or the link is caring and helpful. We would like to be able to at least move all of our merchandise and displays into storage while we look for a new home so it doesn't all end up in the landfill or someone's burn pile. Thank you for your support, and we hope to be back to sharing memories soon.
