Today marks eight years of Hearth & Sage. For this anniversary post, I wanted to share a thread from our story—about a dog named Mazzy and a guy named Jeromy.
We adopted our pup, Mazzy, in 2016, just before leaving LA for the mountains. She had severe separation anxiety, so in early 2017, while we were building out the shop, she was right there with us—stepping in paint trays and freaking out at sudden noises. On ribbon-cutting day, I’d been holding her as people arrived, and when it came time for the photo op, I looked around—somewhat anxiously—for someone I could hand her to, and then I saw Jeromy. He was a kind new friend and one of the few people Mazzy had taken to outside of us.
Eight years later, Jeromy is not only a dear friend—he’s now managing so much of the day-to-day at the shop. He’s someone I’ve always trusted with what matters most, and we’re lucky to have him helping us take Hearth & Sage into this next chapter, bringing decades of experience in retail and beauty with him.
This shop has brought the most incredible people into our lives—makers, customers, and so many friends—and truly rooted us in this community. We’re so grateful for your support. Thank you for shopping small and being part of our story. Here’s to eight years!
Also—Mazzy is doing so much better these days. The serenity of the mountains has been good for her. Well, for all of us. 🖤
