5. The dream of a Vac-Mini.
6. A neat stack of thank you cards and letters waiting for the mailbox.
7. Customers (and delivery people!) who still remember me even though I’m not in the shop everyday 🙂
8. Inks and inks and inks coming into the shop as we prepare for our wintry deep freeze.
9. J. Herbin’s Stormy Grey Anniversary Ink coming soon – the end of October, fingers crossed. And…Jon, who has promised I can keep a bottle.

You guys have brought a warmth and friendliness and knowledge to it that made success inevitable.
