Happy New Year to you and yours. Keep safe and well!
To our Beaufort Friends: My teeny wee shop will not be open this evening for First Friday, but I’m happy to arrange local pickup for anything ordered online through my Etsy shop in the next couple of weeks. If you head downtown tonight, enjoy – and be sure to wear your mask and socially distance! :0) Thanks to The Beaufort Emporium and Thibault Gallery for providing my holiday cards for folks to sign for some of our local military members who are currently deployed. Just write a note, and I’ll do the rest to get them into the hands of service members. Take good care!


It’s open 24-7. (We will decide about December’s First Friday that week. Night on the Town is not happening in Beaufort, but lots of shops WILL be open for First Friday.) Thanks!
If you’re enjoying First Friday in downtown Beaufort tonight – 5 – 8 p.m., stop by and pen a note for a deserving service member who is currently deployed! We’ll take care of the rest.
Also, enjoy visiting shops AND join in a “Find the Pumpkin” Scavenger Hunt for prizes. See you later! (Masks required – Please play safe. Thanks.)

Note: Etsy U workshop participants will receive a “check in” link to provide an email address and the name of their Etsy shop. That’s actually how I’ll get credit for teaching the classes! Etsy states that it will not share personal information with unrelated third parties for marketing purposes.
