Vacation time!
Posted by Stacy Pomerleau on

The shop will be closed from October 8th until the 26th! Any orders placed during this period will be shipped on October 27. As the saying goes, "time flies when you're having fun." And boy, are we going to have a blast during our vacation! This vacation is long overdue and was orginally planned to happen back in 2020, but the world had other ideas! We'll be exploring new cultures, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. But don't worry, we'll be back on October 27th, ready to bring you some exciting changes in November! Stay tuned for the updates!
