And that’s a wrap 🌿 who knew idyll was just a room the whole time? 🥰😂 all jokes aside, these past two weeks have felt like moving through honey. 🍯 thank you for taking time out of your busy lives to eat oysters, and fill your homes with plants and art, and stop by to share what idyll has meant to you.

Retail is a tough business. It isn’t just what’s in the shop, it’s also signing on to be present for the full experience of living. Finding the right gift or plant is part of it, but for me, the more rewarding part was being there for the whole gamet of being human.

I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing many of you fall in love, I’ve cried with you during breakups and shared my poetry, I’ve hugged some of you the day of a cancer diagnosis and I’ve sent your friends off with gifts to comfort you for loss of many kinds. It has been a heart achingly beautiful experience and I am so grateful that you all trusted idyll and I to hold these moments.

I believe wholeheartedly in the in person experience. The mundane is where the magic is. And I am looking forward to giving my art and my writing the same chance I was able to for many other artists. Thank you all for letting me be me through this. It is overwhelming to feel the reflection of so much goodness and love from all of you and I can’t wait to watch this space transform into its next rendition.

In the mean time, I’ve updated my website with all of my favorite places to eat and visit in sb, as well as a running list of all of the artists whose work we carried in the shop so you can buy directly from them or even better, find a local retailer who carries their work 💚

Big love community. We did it 🍯🌙

FINAL CHAMPAGNE TOAST TOMORROW 3PM! Just me and the queen left in the shop. 🌿🍾 you can name your price on anything that is left, I’ll be taking whatever doesn’t sell to the thrift shop on Monday! ✨

Friends. Community. Thank you for this incredible send off. It fills me with joy to know that there are little plants from our shop in your homes, living and breathing alongside you.

I’m not entirely sure what’s next for me, but I will look back on this time in my life with so much love. Thank you for making it so special.

See you tomorrow at 3PM for our final toast 💚

When I say we tried everything…… wall colors, signage, couches, plants, art, going online, going offline…. I mean EVERYTHING! Idyll has been an ever evolving adventure 💚

Okay now that we are closing, which wall color was your fav?
Dark green? Orange? Pink? Or the light lime wash we have now?

See you this weekend for our final weekend of business 💚

Big hugs for this chapter friends!! Yall kept idyll alive for five years by coming in, showing up, cheering from afar, and loving the heck out of plants!! 🌿🌿

We are passing off the keys to the who we trust to carry the warm, welcoming, loving spirit of idyll forward, in the form of a tasting room where you can linger and share stories with your friends and family.

Come by this weekend to help us clear out shop so we can make room for the next wave of magic to come ✨🍯

This has been the greatest gift of my life and I am so grateful for all of you who believed in me, idyll, and this little world we built here!! Can’t wait to see you soon.

Xx, Han
