A MESSAGE FROM MERRY: It has come to my attention that there is a "Merry's Fashion with Passion" account on Facebook. That's NOT me! There are currently no authorized Merry's accounts on Facebook, nor any other social networking services. If we ever make an account, it will be announced on this page (merrys.biz) and you'll be the first to know! I'm very sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Keep shining,
Merry
