By Hand Has Moved!

The rumors are true....  By Hand has moved! Our new store is right across the street. We are now located at 1746 Solano Avenue (next door to Pharmaca).  We closed for the last three days of March and reopened today, April 1st.  On time.  A miracle.

It's been an amazing week.  Racks of clothes flew across the street.  Mirrors came down; mirrors went up; mirrors came down; mirrors went up again (Yes, you read that correctly.  Note to self:  next time, think twice and decide once).  The paint, the dust, the chaos, and the confusion. The big, empty space became our new home.

Two storefuls of people packed up clothes, fired up power tools, wielded spackle knives, climbed up ladders, and ran back and forth across Solano Avenue.  If anyone caught a picture of us rolling racks across the street, please let us know.  We roped in our resident photographer into installing doorknobs for the new dressing rooms.  It was truly heartwarming to see so many people come to our aid.  We can't thank you enough.

Come on in and take a peek.  We look forward to seeing you all at our new home!
