Welp y’all, we made it a year! Signing the lease on this shop felt like the biggest risk, and I’m so glad we took it.
We truly wouldn’t be here without all of you. Every purchase, class, Google review, tag, repost, shout out, and compliment helped make this possible. We appreciate you more than you know.
A week before our grand opening, I found out I was pregnant, so this first year has been a wild ride from start to finish. Thankfully, we’ve had so much support from friends and family along the way.
Huge thank you to my husband for building so much of this shop by hand, from the front counter to driving thousands of miles to hand-pick our taxidermy.
To for being the first to believe in and sell my artwork — you both mean so much to me. Please go visit their beautiful shop if you haven’t already.
To my mom and dad for helping with decor, window displays, demo work, and encouraging me when I needed it most. And yes, if you know my mom, you’ve probably received a butterfly from me and she’s always she refused to take one for free.
and for giving me the space to host my very first classes.
Thank you to all the incredible artists who consign with me: .by.loretta .nyc .curiosities
And to the wholesalers who keep this place stocked with rad things — especially and .
To all my friends who helped in a million different ways:
And finally, thank you to the entire downtown square and all the amazing local businesses who welcomed us into this community. That’s exactly why I started all of this.
If I forgot anyone, blame the mom brain. We love y’all so much.
I’ll post our one year specials shortly ✨
