@Kathryn and Ola, thanks for the tweaks and the child theme! I hope that Ola is dumping the code back to Sarah [https://github.com/sarahmonster/pique] or wherever you keep it internally, so that Woo support is at least partially baked in when it's released to the .org side. I'm sure it may be on the theme's internal roadmap, but don't forget to declare WooCommerce support in functions.php when the final version is rolled out.

I particularly liked the careful thought to keep the theme's buttons consistent as well as the change from 3 columns of products instead of 4. The only tweak I might further suggest is the color of the "add to cart", "proceed to checkout", and "pay" buttons (see http://boffosockobooks.com/product/amerikan-krazy/ which I've not restyled presently to highlight the existence) which all appear as purple [#a46497]. (Though the purple helps to highlight them, I wanted to make sure it was a conscious design choice rather than an oversight.) Either way, throwing the CSS code for the changes on these directly into the bundle makes it much easier for less sophisticated users to tweak the code later.

Other than that, I've looked through most portions fairly carefully and everything seems to be working as I'd expect it to without any glaring issues/errors. My thanks to you, Sarah, and Ola for the beautiful work that went into this as well as the after-the-fact adjustments.

@stephenwrks, A few things in the theme that you might consider taking advantage of and using on your current page are increasing the featured image opacity (25, 50, 75, or 100%) of the photos using the theme customizer/theme options/panels 1-8. This will let you "brighten" up your page without making the foreground text difficult to read and highlight the beauty of your photos.

You might also consider creating a secondary menu called "social" in the menu interface with custom items being links to your social media sites and then in the customizer/menu section setting the footer menu to use this menu. Then your social media bugs will appear in the footer of the page rather than into the second widget where it's at now. This will help streamline and balance out your page a bit (See the Custom Menus section at https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/pique/ and https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/social-links-menu/ for more details.)
