Report
Sarah is such a lovey person, we met at this years Fall Didley at the Boone County Fairgrounds. Her gnome jars are absolutely fun and adorable. My niece accidentally dropped the bag after we were home and I emailed Sarah asking if I could buy a replacement dome, Sarah was wonderful in making that happen. Thanks again, you made my day!
