Our new studio + shop is open in Louisville

Whew! After a crazy few months of renovations and moving out of our old studio in Frankfort and into our new studio in Louisville, we're finally settling in to our sweet new space in Nulu (810 E Market St, come see us!) 

2018 was our biggest year yet, and between Matt and I having two small but growing businesses and what the parenting books have told me is a "spirited" 2 year old (hahaaa!) things felt slightly frantic a lot of the time. I was stretched to my max, realized I needed more help, and had the most wonderful assistant/everything person join the team in Dec. We've had fun setting up the shop, and are looking forward to bringing in the goods of some of our favorite makers as well-- and we're loving our spacious new order fulfillment area and studio in the back of the space. I'm hoping to do a lot more actual designing this year, rather than spending so much of my time working on shipping and logistics issues. It's so funny and has happened to so many creatives I know- you start a business doing what you love, and then don't get to do that thing most of the time because the actual running of the business takes all your time. So it will be a joy to get back to the colors and textures and patterns, and I love that I get to hunker down and base out of this great little neighborhood.

Here's to a calmer and more balanced 2019- and if you're in the Louisville area please stop by and say hi!!

Love, Hallie
