There's very little stock left in the store, only one left of most things, as I've been letting it coast along. But I need things firmly off my list and so I'm giving everything a final push to clear out the shop and close her down. Everything is reduced in price, so... happy shopping!
Finally, I want to thank everybody in the blog world who was supportive of my shop. When I launched, many of you wrote lovely, supportive posts. I'm also very grateful for all the orders I've received and the sweet meetings I've made through the shop, with talented makers and artists, as well as customers.
Some of my personal favourites include:
- Jennifer Graham's three-vessel set
- Kosoy & Bouchard's arabesque vase
- The Roundcross blanket from Welsh mill, Melin Tregwynt
- And, the marble paper handbound Irish notebooks - my favourite thing to write Very Deep Thoughts in!
Visit the shop here.
For some reason this makes me think of You've Got Mail. "Closing is the brave thing to do."
ReplyDelete(I found the premise of that movie ridiculous. No woman of sound mind and body would choose to end up with the man who literally put her out of business. However, Meg Ryan's Marc Jacobs wardrobe was something else.)
Ah - thanks Alice! I actually love that movie (her apartment!)
DeleteI also think of this piece on the upside of quitting. Sometimes dragging these things out makes life unnecessarily complicated!

I'm so glad I had the shop though - it was a fun experience!
I hope my new notebook will encourage Deep Thought Jane!
ReplyDeleteHa! Me too - thank you for the order!!
DeleteI'm quite excited to receive my Coterie order in the mail. And yes, my new notebook will be reserved for deep thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI hope the closing down sale is going wonderfully Jane.
