I’m so very sad to see this little shop go. 😢

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18bQSbKndK/?mibextid=wwXI

It’s with a sad heart that I announce we will be closing the thrift shop at the end of March. We will continue to accept clothing, shoes and accessory donations until February 28th and then we will no longer be accepting any donations.

I put a lot of my heart and time into this space and it brings me a lot of sadness to let it go.

With rising costs of overhead and a huge decrease in sales the last year it’s become more difficult and stressful to keep the doors open. I have pushed on month to month with hope that things would get better but the reality is things are just getting worse, more stressful and the financial worry is daunting.

I’m not sure what the next chapter looks like for me but I’m so very thankful for you, my customers and for all of the support I have received. The shop has felt like a second home to me these past two years and has seen me through some tough times. For that I am so grateful. I will surely miss opening the door and seeing all of your faces and the sound of little feet running back to the toy section.

Come see us soon,

Skylee
