The owner Jude, (an absolutely fabulous woman with a contagious spirit) would always greet us by name and show us the new items she had that she thought might interest us. I loved how well she knew us as customers (and humans), what we loved, our preferred style, and how she always had something fresh even though we had just been there the week prior.
