Mosaic Imports is now open for the year.  We survived another Cache Valley winter.  Our first day of 2010 yesterday was a success.  We'll be open every weekend.

We also now have Frankincense Resin Incense in stock.

And a big shoutout to Geno and Janis for the Opening annoucement they sent out to their Cache Valley Wine Lover's mailling list.
