My reading glasses have gone missing!

On Sunday 26th Sept around 1:30pm...someone in my shop picked up my readers from the display case top and took them with them. If you have them could you please ship them to:

Celtic Story
PO Box 1011
Seaside, Or   97138

I purchased these in Scotland last year...and really like them.

Cheers,
Linda
