"You gotta know when to hold 'em...
know when to fold 'em...
know when to walk away..."
Randy and I have decided that we will be closing the doors of our brick & mortar in Amery. It has been a two year whirlwind labor of love. We knew it was a gamble, and please know we are not closing because it is a failure, but because we are tired ya'll. We knew it would be a lot of work, and well, it has been. We are fortunate in that in the two years we have been open, it has provided us with an income, the ability to share our love of art and the art of those we enjoy too. During these past two years we have also been fortunate in that our art sales at Galleries and Fine Art Fairs have also done very well. We make each and every piece of art, at home, just us. We are just to the point that we can't do both and stay sane. It's been a wrestle as to what to do, but then the universe recently dropped a giant hint and the decision was made.
We will close our doors at the end of June and pivot back to making art and selling at Fine Art Fairs and in Galleries. So, if you are a fan of our work, don't unlike us! (Please)
We thank our building owners and friends Greg and Catherine of Bowman Leather for everything they have given us these past two years. They are amazing human beings and Amery is so lucky to have them! Just darn good eggs. Our leaving came as a shock to them, as it did honestly to us. They have some final decisions to make, but I am so looking forward to what might be coming for them and for Amery. Please go LIKE their page as they get ready to make that announcement!!!
In the meantime we will be putting things ON SALE! But please note- it will be mostly our vintage and some wholesale accounts that we need to sell the rest of. The art will stay, both ours and our artisans for now. When we are ready, it will just go back to them and our art to our first show in July in Madison.
Thank you to everyone that has genuinely supported us. Thank you to everyone that has walked through the doors and said "Oh my, what a cute shop." Thank you to everyone that has taken classes. Thank you to everyone that has cheered us on from afar. And a big thank you to our artisans and vendors for allowing us to sell your items, for trusting us and for your friendships. We thank you.
Don't be sad for us. Life is always changing and we are happy to have had two years of learning and growth and an experience we can say- we did that! We are proud of what we curated. We leave with happiness and no regrets.
Be well friends. Thank you.
(Stay tuned...)
