Hi, Geralyn and I went to our favorite place in the next town over.  I wish I could take pictures of the windows with out the glare from the other side of the street?  Is there a trick to doing that?  lol  You can’t appreciate how cute her window is with the dress form and all the parasols.

As you walk in the store you see this:
