Shop update 3/28

We are spent! 

We have just been overwhelmed and we can't take anymore orders. We are currently at least two weeks behind due to the large volume of linen orders we've received post market. My daughter is coming this weekend to help process as many orders as possible as we will reasses on Monday. We humbly thank you for supporting our small business. This is the first time our shop has closed since it's opening and we hope you will understand this is to prevent frustration to our customers and because we need a light at the end of the tunnel. We appreciate your understanding. You can always reach us via email by using the contact form.
