We're really just so grateful for everyone who's come and checked out the new shop! We really love it and it's already feeling like that kind of shop you can just hang out for awhile. The conversations and the laughs and the quiet togetherness of flipping records and sipping tea. Our year round locals are the heartbeat of our shop but just as equally our visiting customers who make a point to come back year after year! And there's already so many new customers who have never gone upstairs to discover us before! Anyway, we are taking a deserved evening relaxing & chatting about our shop & the people who share it with us. Thanks for hanging out! - Abbi & Jordan 🎶🌿
