    I just sent you an email but want to again congratulate you on your new shop. This is such exciting news and I am so happy for you! By looking at your jewelry, I know that you have impeccable style and so will your shop. I can’t wait to see and hear more about your shop owner adventures. Cheers to you! ~Kelli

    Congratulations, Sean!

    I hope you can be up and running by the holiday shopping season. It would be good not only for the shoppers, but for yourself as well.

    Good luck!

    hey emily and sean,
    thanks again so much for hosting my little show in february. you folks sure do know how to treat an artist well. i was amazed at how many folks came out, especially those who i had never met before. sounds like you did some great advertising on my behalf. thanks also for the amazing spread you provided. my friends were totally excited to be fed, and to be offered delicious beverages- great punch and beer!
    it is an honor to sell my work through you. thanks for supporting your local artists with a fare place to sell their wares.
    best regards,
    Lauren

    Hello Emily~
    Just wanted to let you know that I’m making 10 frames for your shop this week. I hope to get them to you by next week. Thanks for your patience to me in waiting for me. I finally had the little one I was pregnant with when we met. He came 4 weeks ago.
    Hoping all is well~
