Our New Logo!


Only a few more weeks to go, and I am getting so excited! Our wonderful artist, Mrs. Brittani Fordham is touring the shop tomorrow for the first time, I hope that she will be inspired!! We got our logo this week and business cards and hair bow cards are in the process of being printed up. Everything is really falling into place, and I am so thankful! I cannot believe how the Lord is blessing our efforts!!! Let me know if you want to consign anything!!!
