How has it been?? Hope it’s going well!!:)

Good news - TJ, Kevin & Chrissy sold A LOT of product last Saturday!
Bad news - started packing for Irish Weekend in Wildwood - Friday to Sunday - and realized that we have less product than I had planned. We will sell out of some products. So be sure to stop by our tent early to get first pick of our full stock! We will be setup on olde New Jersey ave between Chestnut and Walnut starting Friday at 9am.
I kind of think this is a "good problem" to have!! Guess we need to get the boys on a product making "meeting"!!
I would like to thank Piece of Our Puzzle for staffing the second shift for us last weekend at Yardley Harvest. Chrissy and her one on one, Sam, did an Amazing job! We are looking forward to having them work for us more in the future!
