Congratulations are in order for a couple of shops that are celebrating anniversaries today:
- Wirestone is officially nine years old today.
- Mitchell + Palmer marks one year in business today.
Congratulations to both.

UPDATE – The Broken Barker Benefit
I just got word from the Wirestone folks that the Broken Barker Benefit has been postponed, and will not be happening this Friday, as originally planned. It seems that there was a setback in his recovery, so they’ve decided to push it back.
At this point, I know that a decision will be made later this week, and as soon as I have more, you’ll know as well.
