Huge congratulations to the team at on the launch of their new website! We're so grateful for you and your work, and love being connected to smart, amazing women entrepreneurs like you. 🙏🏻
Posted • It is on this Aries Full Moon Day that we announce the launch of our new website! ⁣
⁣
We have been on a posting pause. Diligently focused on doing everything we can to bring you the best representation of our work online.
⁣⁣
Our previous website was experiencing issues beyond repair and with lockdown and having the shop closed to walk-in customers, we had to take matters into our own hands. We are all about DIY so why not our website???!!⁣ It took us 8 months but here is the day.
⁣
We are so GRATEFUL for your UNDERSTANDING and PATIENCE with the issues you were experiencing placing online orders. Thank you for your caring phone calls, emails, encouragement and support. ⁣
⁣
So now, you are now the first to know. ⁣
⁣
Note: We are still working in the background on edits and will be continually adding more products and special services, so this is a work in progress. But after all these months, it is ready to share. ⁣
⁣
Happy Full Moon.⁣
We love and appreciate you. ⁣
Please let us know what you think.⁣ 🌙
