Fall Sale!

Welcome!

We know we've been out of circulation for a little while but WE'RE BACK!!!! We have both had pretty busy summers but are excited to have our open house with lots and lots of new fall merchandise. We also have a little twist this time, we're going to have our Fall Extravanza on Jocie's porch in Sioux Falls. We know everyone is just as busy as we are with back-to-school, football and soccer practice and last minute vacations!! We thought by saving the drive to the country, it would give everyone a chance to stop by!!

This month's sale will be at 6001 S. Mustang. We're right off of 69th street between Minnesota Avenue and Western Avenue. We hope to have plenty of signage to help lead you right to us!!
