15 Years is almost upon us. I’ve been trying to put into words how it feels to celebrate 15 years as a small independent retailer—and the truth is, it’s a mix of overwhelming gratitude and immense fear. Gratitude for the incredible support that’s brought us to this day. Immense fear for the future of small businesses like mine, and for the retail industry as a whole. The road ahead feels uncertain, but one thing remains the same: we CELEBRATE. We celebrate the resilience, the community, the creativity, the love, and of course the GRIT that keep small businesses alive.
I urge you to please, please, keep supporting independent small businesses—around your neighborhood, when you travel, and of course online. We need you now more than ever. With deep appreciation and love, Mandy
