I used to live one block away from the la boulange in Hays! I miss it there so much. Have a great trip, Grace!

Thanks so much for the mention of our wooden apple boxes, Grace! We’ll be at Renegade this weekend with a new batch of apple boxes & wonderful wooden eggs. Swing by the Miss Natalie booth to check them out, and score some sweet treats. Can’t wait for the RD show tonight!
