I love it! Sounds like the kind of business my family needs and will support with our modest income. Finally a business that will help make my life easier for the simple exchange of currency. This will help me boost my dowery so I can match my lowly daughters with an appropriate suitor. They aren't very pretty.
When will the old, stupid grocery store on Smith be replaced with boutiques?
Cute stuff!
