Little elves Tivi & Cruz were delighted this past weekend to have Grandma visit from Wisconsin! Here they are on the way to American Dream for pizza. While visiting the workshop - Grandma / Mom / Judy tested out all our new adult boot styles and sandals we have in development for this summer and fall. She gave the new...
