We will be staying open as long as we are able with modified hours. We are happy to run an order out to your car, or may be able to arrange a drop-off at your home if you are nearby. We are happy to make care packages for anyone you may know that needs a little cheer (or yourself)! It can be a surprise, or we can curate it together. Send me an email or message Carianne on Instagram or Facebook with a budget and we will make up something fun! Additionally, all online orders will be discounted 10% and qualify for free shipping within Canada & the US for the rest of the month of March. No codes needed....
