Shop Update Tonight

imageHello all!  There will be a shop update tonight at 9pm eastern.  I have a larger than usual quantity of these small wedges and will offer a Priority Mail upgrade option for anyone looking for last minute gifts.

This will be the last update of what has been an amazing year.  I have never had a better job, or more joy at the thought of a new professional year.

Thank you so much for being a part of something that has become more than I dared hope!

Much love,
AB
