Rearranging Life Well, spring has finally arrived and with it we decided to freshen up a bit. Soooo....we have rearranged a few things (again!). Come visit and tell us what you think!
   We've opened up the front of the shop so you can see what's new as soon as you walk in. There's also more space when you're ready to check out.
  We moved the bed out into the shop to display our beautiful quilts for sale.
