Both businesses had to close at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, they’re back open thanks to those who have continued to show their support. 
“I started doing a lot of work by phone, FaceTime, extending my hours--making appointments to meet people,” said MaryAnne Connaughton. 
MaryAnne Connaughton tells News 12 both businesses are adapting to the difficult times.
