The Lenten Season has begun and it's a great time to show appreciation to the folks who have stuck with us through thick and thin.

It's the first day of the Lenten Season before Easter Sunday and we would like to take a moment each day to show our appreciation to the many people who have helped us grow and prosper over the years.

Om this Ash Wednesday we just finished restocking our inventory at Little Miss Muffin on Harrison Avenue in Lakeview!

Stop by Little Miss Muffin and say hello to Monique and Oliver and Gaye. We are so fond of Monique Sobrino and everyone else at Little Miss Muffin. LMM is the first store where we began offering our hand-painted medals for retail sale.

The store is full of great finds for any occasion. Monique never stops discovering fun and exciting gifts. It's no surprise her store seems to be the "Go To" place for folks who need a last minute surprise, beautifully wrapped and presentable for every occasion imaginable.

Thanks to everyone at Little Miss Muffin, especially Monique, who gave us a chance, decades ago. We are fortunate to be one the early retailers at LMM. Our confidence grew and over the years we have sold our hand-painted designs at the National Basililca of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC, Loopy Mango and Selima Optique in New York City, Pursue Good Stuff in Kansas City, The Grotto in Portland, Katsu Tenaka's Bear Pond Espresso in Tokyo, the Silver Street Gallery in Natchez, Mississippi, and many other fine retailers,

too numerous to mention.
