As owners of a note‐ably unique boutique, Express Yourself, we often have conversations with clients that extend beyond our little world of fine stationery, great gifts and clever cards.

Erin is the number‐cruncher, bookkeeper and back‐office realist, while Amy is the designer and artist extraordinaire. Erin loves the color blue, is married and always needs a vacation. She dreams of being a published writer one day, never has enough hours in the day and dislikes kazoos. Amy is the fantasist who is always stylish, wears bright shoes and is often the first one to leave at the end of the day. She appreciates a man who owns a passport, a well‐traveled pair of cowboy boots and a big truck. She dislikes tapered jeans, white condiments and bad hair days.

Now that you know a little about us, stick around and stay awhile. And come back to visit often.
