A Love Shine Christmas Tale

We would like you to meet this nice gentleman who just purchased this mirror for his wife for x-mas. Such a cute story!

His wife noticed it last year AND much to our surprise as well - we still had it on our walls for sale this year.

Sooo she came in the day before him to do some x-mas shopping and once again noticed the mirror. He came in the next day and got it for her! So great to be a part of the Holidays memories for some longtime East Village neighbors. Thanks for your support and Happy Holidays!
