Hi Joe, 

This is Jess, I was wondering if you could post on Good Morning Gloucester about the 10% Off Jewelry Sale we’re having this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (10 am – 5 pm). We hope people will keep us in mind and shop local for Mother’s Day, prom, and graduation jewelry! We’ve got a wide range of styles and eras, from antique Victorian to vintage costume jewelry and modern sterling silver jewelry. I’ve attached two photos that could go with the post, and I apologize for the short notice. Let me know if there’s any further information you need! 

Best, 

Jess
