Small Business Saturday, all week!

I’ve just returned from Walgreens, where I got my flu shot in one arm, and my COVID shot in the other. I’m prone to fever and chills after a COVID booster, so before that happens, I’m hopping on here really quickly to tell you about my Small Business Saturday sale for 2024.

The coupon is good until next Friday, but since I tend to make things in very small batches of one or two, you shouldn’t wait too long if you see something you like. It might not be there tomorrow!
