Whoever she was, she was very kind and patient and allowed me to photograph a variety of items so I could text them to my niece as I tried to make some purchasing decisions. I had to exchange one of the items several weeks later and she made it super easy by looking up the transaction since I misplaced the receipt. Now I need to purchase a Wind River wind chime and their site indicates they have the one I want. I'm happy that I get to make another purchase from them. They're the type of local business that I WANT to support. You'll probably feel the same way after your first purchase.
