Hello! Finally recovering from Tucson. It seemed like I'd never get home. It was a lot of fun seeing all of my friends and favorite customers (who've become friends!) and shopping. Here are some of the highlights from my shopping excursions. Its weird to be away for two weeks, I felt all out of whack without having my daily rituals to attend to. I really am a hermit. It was fun, but I was looking forward to not standing all day long. I'm glad to be home.

Cynthia! I'm so glad you guys made it home in one piece. I had the best time with you, and I miss you all. I started getting depressed as soon as I got on the shuttle that last day... Thank you so much for bringing me along with you and letting me have that experience.

Brandon says hi to everyone. We'll let you know when we start making our plans to visit Asheville.
