✨ IMPORTANT UPDATE – SHOP CLOSED TODAY ✨

We’ll be closed today while we put the finishing touches on our brand-new store. Our goal is to officially open at the new address next weekend! 🎉

This evening, I’ll be sharing a full update with all the details—plus some sneak peek photos and a look at what’s coming over the next month.

The past 8 weeks have been full of hard work, late nights, and plenty of emotion, but seeing the new space come together has made it all worthwhile. A few lucky people have already had a preview, and we can’t wait for you all to see it soon.

Thank you so much for your patience and support during this transition—it truly means the world. As always, if you need anything urgently, I’m just a phone call away and will do my best to help.
