All good things must come to an end.
It is with immense gratitude and love that I announce after 2+ years, I’ve decided to close the shop at the end of the month.
Due to COVID, the price of goods has increased exponentially. That is causing our brands to have to increase their already high prices to keep up. On top of that, shipping delays are making it increasingly hard to be able to plan when anything will get here. Throw in some anti-maskers who like to berate and harass small business owners, and you get a situation that is less than desirable.
While we’re on the topic of anti-maskers, please stop harassing us, stop spamming our instagrams and google pages, stop calling our businesses incessantly, stop coming into our stores and yelling at us, stop threatening lawsuits, just stop. What you don’t understand is that if we get COVID, we not only have to close our businesses for 10-14 days, but we also have to pay to disinfect our stores and all the other costs that come with COVID. We’re small business owners, that would seriously impact our livlihoods. If you don’t want to wear a mask, you don’t have to come in. It’s that easy.
Anyway, as much as I love curating sustainably and ethically made products for all of you, the business itself is just not sustainable anymore. I have nothing but love and gratitude for all of you and will always look back on this time fondly.
The shop will be closing on Nov. 30th or as soon as everything sells, so come in now for 40% off storewide and/or to say hi!
I look forward to walking around town on weekends in the future and seeing all of you. Also, if you’re hiring look out for my resume! I was a paralegal in the city for 8 years before opening up the shop in 2019 and I have BAs in Government and French. I also have extensive volunteer experience as I have been volunteering all over Ulster and Dutchess counties since I was in middle school, as well as in the city and while in college in PA.
