After nearly seven years we were faced with a difficult decision… packing up all these little memories while we tried to figure out…

What color to paint these old walls!
Since we had to close on Tuesday due to our systems going down, we took advantage of the time to start a makeover for our little place along the creek.

Some may call it crazy, but we love it! Pardon our paint! It will take us a few Mondays to finish everything.

We are still waiting for a technician to fix our phone and internet, but WE ARE OPEN and we appreciate your patience. Cash is Queen, but credit cards seem to be working.

We are so grateful for all our lovely customers & all the praise!

THANK YOU FOR SEVEN YEARS!

Don’t miss our TWO upcoming anniversary events. See you soon!!

NO PHONE at the moment, so don’t @ us 😜

Credit card and Apple Pay is working for now, but…
CASH IS QUEEEEN
