love your fiery coloured frames
i. loved an orange reddish frame. And since I live in Toronto Canada, where my optometrist and medical plan work best, I bought the frame impulsively - never having seen anything like it in Toronto. Your staff were a bit surprised with my impulsiveness and were absolutely delightful. thanks.
