Do to unforseen circumstances beyond my control I have had to Close down the Shop.
My sincere apologies, but after much prayer and consideration. This business had to close.
Many blessings
May those who have found rest in these unique resting place rockers.. find deep meaning in the days to come on how to navigate through trying and testing seasons..
