We had a fantastic Friday sharing our most creatively disguised potatoes! Book orders went home today. Enjoy shopping over the weekend. In order to ensure that the items are delivered before break, all orders will be submitted on Monday. IF you would like for me to keep something for you as a holiday gift, just let me know, and I can store it away for you. Have a great weekend!
