We ended up today in the Bottoms and found Bottoms Up -- what a GREAT place -- did come home with one small (very small) pillow -- but there were so many really neat things! Met Steve and his booth was fantastic!
Happy 4th of July surrounded by all of those great guys. Mary
Wonderful!!
Happy 4th to you Patricia!
