An old small business mantra is, "A customer will become a friend sooner than a friend will become a customer."

Amy and I attended a memorial service yesterday for Regina Belt-Daniels, a Crystal Lake legend in the theatre world and in our world.

Regina is one of the first customers that I ever remember remembering their name. When she found out that I loved ladybugs, she showered the store with them; including the pillow she hand-made for George's birthday.

I know the CL arts community had her for 30+ years and we only had her for five, but her presence has left a lasting impact on our store and we will never forget her.

Rest in peace, Regina. We will miss you.

AND we collected $279 for the Crystal Lake Food Pantry!!!
