Rebuilding our Spring Pages....
Cover Art from the April 1923 Butterick Delineator Magazine
Yep, as you saw over the weekend, we had a little hitch in our giddy-up this month as our website was hacked. We were also briefly an "adult" site (eek.) I bet you din't know Zebras could do THAT!
*ahem*
But we are rebuilding our pages and adding things to our Etsy shop (safer, we have decided, than putting all of our eggs in our own data basket.) this week, and should be ready for a big roll-out by the end of the week. A cupcake occassion, methinks.
*Special for our local readers - yes, the fire in the north Green Lake neighborhood on Sunday WAS just a few hundred feet from our location. Thank you for your expressions of worries and well-wishes. We are all more than fine, but the empty storefront next to Rosita's Mexican Cuisine, used temporarily as a computer lab by Billings Middle School, was completely gutted. Fire officials estimate the loss was $130,000. The good news is no one was in the building, and no firefighters were injured putting out the flames.
You can read more about this incident on my blog, as soon as we get the link restored.
And so - Onward and Upward!
Rebuilding is going well, although we haven't put the reconstructed pages up publicly yet. I lost a couple of product images, and have to rewrite some copy, but...
Rain City Dry Goods Online will be completely back soon with:
