My View of Life on the Dock










Hi Joe,
I was hoping you could post about a few things we’re doing! Starting next weekend, we’ll be open to the public on Fridays and Sundays, and by appointment only the rest of the week. We’ll be having a 15% off Valentine’s jewelry sale the first two weeks of February, and will also be offering a 20% discount (excluding jewelry) to event planners this winter. I’ve included some jewelry photos (nothing new, sorry!) as well as David’s favorite store photo to go with the post offering the event planning discount.
If it’s possible to post these, thank you so much!
Best,
Jess

She examines…
