Hi friends - it’s no surprise that I’ve been pretty absent both on social media and in the shop for several months. If we jump back to December: we were talking about moving spaces, bringing in some new products & brands, and potentially hiring an employee or two. And while we worked on a few things behind the scenes, I was ignoring the voice inside of my head. When I took a step back from the shop in February, I not only realized how bad I needed the break - but when we opened back up in April, I was hit with the reality that I had fallen out of love with something that once brought me SO. MUCH. JOY.
I tried to tough it out and ride the waves because I didn’t understand how I could go from loving something so much and having SO much passion for it, to tossing the idea around of giving it up in my head.
To add fuel to the already burning fire, and to be completely transparent, this year has been ROUGH. Our economy is ROUGH. There are people struggling to put food on the table for their families, worrying about how their going to pay their rent or mortgage for the month - and the price of everything just keeps going up. It has had a tremendous impact on small businesses everywhere; ours included.
We have made the incredibly difficult decision to close our doors and say goodbye to bemi & co.

We cannot thank every single one of you enough for being a part of this journey with us. From our regulars, to the ones who popped in once, to those who just simply followed our journey on here - we are so, so grateful for you. We’ve had so many amazing moments & memories with y’all, and we’ve made so many connections that we will remember & carry with us forever. Thank you for all of the baby snuggles, the toddler talks, and allowing us to take part in watching your little loves grow - above all, that is hands down what I’ll miss the most. That’s what made this decision so heartbreakingly difficult, even when every other part of me knew it was time to let go.
If you have any questions or concerns, I’m here to chat - send us a message🤎
