YIKES!

The devil is in the details. Signage, certificates, polyurethane, flowers, paper plates, deliveries, follow-up phone calls, visits to City Hall, more phone calls because nobody was home the first time, weather, printer paper, phone calls to confirm the other phone calls, orders, deliveries, inventory.

Somehow it will all get done and somehow it is all fun. The best part is the anticipation, waiting for the first customers to walk through the door and watching their eyes light up.

Come to Aurora on Saturday, January 29. We want to watch YOUR eyes!
