Thanks to some after-hours magic, OUR A/C IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN for now. 🥳 We are re-opening today (Friday) at noon, and will be open for FULL HOURS this Saturday & Sunday if all goes well! 🤩📚

Thank you for all your support, concern, online orders and good energy! It's rough for a small business to close down for multiple days, so our community showing up to support us means so much.

We can't wait to see you back in the shop!! ❤️
