ways to support
this small business
My heart broke yesterday as I locked the doors on my little corner of the world for a while. I wrapped all my work tightly and hoped for the best. I am hoping to figure out how to set up a smaller home studio for the time being because using this work as a creative outlet seems more important now than ever. We are all doing our best and hopefully hanging in there but man, this has really been a crazy reminder of how delicate life is. I find my self gripping onto this business I have built with everything in me. In my usual day-to-day work flow, I don’t really take the time to step back and look at how far I’ve come or throughly acknowledge how much this work means to me but in light of all of this, I just cry and cry thinking of the smallest crack forming in any of it. The work I make, the people I interact with through this work, this space, the inspiration I feel from making and sharing work, it ALL MEANS SO MUCH. I knew I was a workaholic but I truly wasn’t prepare for how I’m feeling right now. I feel amazingly blessed to have health, stability and love right now and of course, I am constantly thinking about how different this situation is for every single one of us. These are just my thoughts and feelings now. I am hoping to regroup in my new routine and figure out where to put my energy for the time being. I don’t do well with uncertainty. I like lists, structure, and plans so you can imagine what my brain looks like right now. My heart is with everyone and I’m sending out a virtual hug to you all (social distanced approved). Thank you for the constant support, I didn’t even realize it, but it has truly carried me through the past 4 years.
1
SHOP READY TO SHIP WORK ✨
There is a lot of work available and waiting patiently at the studio for new homes. Your online purchases at this time mean so much but please expect delays in shipments as I am unsure when I will have access to my studio again.
2
SHOP MADE TO ORDER WORK ✨
This is a new option! You can order a very specific piece you’d like and I will make it just for you. I am listing new options daily but if there is a piece you’ve dreamt of having in your life, send me an email and we can make it happen! Made to order work will take me 4-6 weeks to make once I am back in the studio.
3
PURCHASE A GIFT CARD ✨
I am sure you have seen this floating around the small business community but gift cards are a great way to support makers in the short term. If committing to a piece is overwhelming, surprise yourself with something later on down the road. OR send a nice surprise to a friend during these uncertain times.
