THANK YOU

Hello EVERYONE. Most of you know that I will be leaving Mary's Closet in January (and if you don't, this is news)... so this is a last letter, a note of deep gratitude for all the joy this little shop has brought to me and hopefully to you. I don't want to step out without personally acknowledging, in print, all those special people that boosted me along the way (and if I left someone out, call me with a reminder!). I won't forget; and a great big thank you to all the wonderful customers wherever you are, for supporting Mary's Closet, I could not have made it these last four years without you!
Thank you all so much and keep in touch.
All the best, always.
~ Mary
