Breaking News: Lani Closes Her Store

Lani Silver just announced on her Facebook page she is closing her physical store the end of June 2020.  She will have a sale in the shop over the next two weeks only, then move her business to a studio on her property where she'll continue to design and do occasional classes.

I don't know if the sale prices are available for mail order customers but if there is something you love, give Lani a call.
