😊 Still pinching myself…
What began as a dream and a lot of hard work has turned into something so much bigger…
…a community, a passion, and a space that feels like home.
📖 Reading this article reminded me just how many ups, downs, and lessons have shaped this journey. Every late night, every challenge, every customer who’s supported us.🫶🏻
Thank you, Northwest Quarterly Magazine (Old Northwest Territory Edition) for sharing our story in the latest issue, truly honored…
…and to everyone who continues to believe in Proper. Your love and support mean everything. 🙏🏻🥰
