Last Chance!

It is almost done.

We have been in the lead for 7 weeks for the ABC/WRTV A-List for Best Arts & Crafts store in the Indy area. There is a pottery store who is trying really hard to beat us this year out of the 26 stores in our category. You can only vote one time per e-mail address. It ends tonight Friday, August 14th at midnight. I will be so happy when it is over! This is the last time I will ask for support this year. If you have an e-mail you have not used and want to vote, please do.

We really appreciate the help and it is a benefit to Stitches & Scones all year long.
