It's Closet Cleanout Time!

It's Closet Cleanout Time!

In my last blog post, I was still struggling with the transition from Summer to Fall. Now it's the end of September and I'm finally ready for you, Fall! Thank you for making a last-minute appearance in the nick of time. The season of bright leaves, pumpkins and clear blue skies is sweet but oh-so-brief. Before we know it, it will be winter.

Yippee, We're Going On Vacation!

One sign that the world is slowly but surely returning to normal: Intrigue will be closed for vacation the first 2 weeks of July, as we have been every year for the past 10 years-- except last year. (We did not close last year because, well, we had literally just re-opened in June). This time off for us is so important, this year maybe more so than ever. We've been working nonstop since the start of the pandemic, pivoting to create additional ways of doing business; now we need some time to rest and recharge our batteries. When we return on...
