September. It feels like the beginning of something new.
I always like to have your ideas & comments, and absolutely I want to know if there are ever problems with my website or products, or your orders. This is still an independent owned business (just me with occasional help) which means I can't keep up with all the places you can send my me messages, texts or calls, so lets keep it simple and just use email. Thanks for understanding :-)
