"HI Franklin!! Just a quick note to say you wont find me at the Common this year. I know, I'm sad too. I love it there.
But I will be in Bellingham at a Stationary location, and I do hope you'll swing by!
I'm still working in Franklin, but now my Summer business is in Bellingham.
Stop by this Summer! New Flavors, New Ideas, New Digs---and much more Flamingos!"
Where in Bellingham? 799 S Main St, Bellingham
