From yesterday’s warm reception at the door, to the surprising while-you-wait repair. My longtime favourite frames seemed beyond hope, as they barely hung on my nose as I drive. But I couldn’t part with them. You took care of the rusty hinge spring, realigned the arms, replaced the stripped screw, and got them sparkling like new again. Your store’s styling made the wait a breeze; akin to visits we’ve had to the beautiful chic shops in old European cities. The level of restoration-repair craftsmanship seemed to have been sourced from the same. I do look forward to my next visits with you. The frames you bring in are truly tantalizing:)
