Hi Everyone!!
It’s with a heavy heart that I’ve decided to close Little Things. After almost 4 years of amazing memories, events, the BEST customers, and the BEST artists in Portland. It has been a hard decision, one that I have been mulling about for months. Lots of tears, sleepless nights, gray hairs. It’s hard to give up my first “baby”, but my real first baby, Penelope, is where my heart is obviously. It has been an amazing journey, and I am so so so happy to have worked with all of you. You all mean so much to me. It’s actually been so hard to close this chapter in my life because of all the friendships I’ve created.
Good news though, the Little Things space and back space (the original garage) will be available October 1st. So crazy, but these spaces are retail ready. I wanted to reach out to you guys… I know it’s a very last minute, but you could be up and going before the holidays for those who are ready to go for it. They are both month to month right now I am paying 560 for the front retail space and 440 for the back garage/office space I’ve been sub leasing. My vision was always retail upfront, and crafting in the back, but I just couldn't quite swing it. The spaces are separate and like I said ready to go, just a little easy ActivSpace paper work, Firsts and deposit.
Are you wondering what I’ll be doing instead? Another reason I am closing up shop is to work on making Travelust, my own jewelry line, available for more wholesale accounts, taking another business to the next level.It’s something I love doing and I’m so excited to have the chance to work from home. I can’t express the gratitude I have for all of you, especially this last year. There has been some ups and downs. I am sad that I have to close on such short notice, but all things even the Little Things must come to an end. Thank you all so much and please feel free to email me directly at [email protected] for any questions
Again thank you all for the amazing memories and friendships that I hope that will continue on. I really wanted a last shin dig, but it's been a rush to get things done as it is.
Much love to everyone!!
