Molly: My name is Molly and I am one of the co owners of Nochi and it is a really pretty, pretty shop on Main Street Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard.

Sophia: I am Sofya Nadelstein and I am Molly’s partner in the store. Molly takes care of antiques and linens and I take care of fresh flowers and parties.
