A Heartfelt Announcement

After much thought and many long nights, I’ve made the difficult decision to close both of the remaining store locations.

This isn’t a decision that came easily. For nearly five years, i’ve poured my heart and soul into building something special from multiple stores and markets to our beloved pop-up shops at Christmas. It’s been an incredible journey and I’ve had the joy of meeting so many amazing people along the way.

Unfortunately, this past year has been extremely challenging. Despite every effort, sales just haven’t been enough to keep things going. While we work through the process of closing, I’ll continue selling fixtures and supplies and doing everything I can to tie things up as smoothly and respectfully as possible.

I want to thank each and every one of you who has supported us - our loyal customers, dedicated staff, and wonderful vendors. Your encouragement, friendship, and love over the years have meant more to me than words can say.

It’s hard to say goodbye, but I’m deeply proud of what we built together and of the community that grew around these stores. This is not the “Happy ending” that I wished for, but it is time to say goodbye.

With all my gratitude,

Kathy

𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧

After 4 wonderful years at St. Laurent Shopping Mall, we have closed the doors of our original flagship store this week. This location holds a special place in our hearts as it’s where our journey began.

Since then, we’ve grown to 3 additional locations, and we are thrilled to continue serving you at:

* 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗹
* 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗗’𝗢𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗹
* 𝗕𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗹

We want to take a moment to thank our loyal customers who have supported us since the very beginning. Your choice to shop small and local has been vital to our growth and success, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support.

Though we’re saying goodbye to our first home, we’re excited to keep bringing you the quality and service you’ve come to expect at our other stores. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Check out our new sign at our St Laurent location! We are hiding behind a big 'mall wall' and we only have a very small door, so our visibility was pretty small.

What do you think??

Hopefully hard to miss! If you're looking for us, just come in at entrance #2 and we're right across from Starbucks.

See you soon!
