Dolores, Paulette and I want to take a few minutes of your time to say Thank You to each and every one of our many loyal customers. Thank You , to each of the many wonderful and talented vendors who came and went throughout the years, and Thank You more than you know to the ones who came and stayed. The emotional support that your loyalty provided was invaluable. We truly cannot thank all of you enough.
We wanted to wait until we had spoken personally to each of the current vendors before we made any official announcements on the blog or in public. It is with some sadness that we tell the world that Creative Kharma will be closing its doors at 4 pm, December 31st, 2011.
We want to say that this closing is not a business failure in any way. We are leaving feeling quite a sense of accomplishment - in fact. We took an empty space with white walls and a very sterile feel and turned it into a place that is cozy and inviting. We've kept the doors open through crushing economic times. That's a success, no matter how you cut it. But, realistically, things change. In our lives, in our businesses, and in the community. The uncertainty is the primary reason we decided to close now, on our own terms, rather than wait til it got to a point where we had no other choice.
All is not lost when the doors close however. Crows Nest will still be hosting events, and we have a few other things up our sleeves. AND, We are going out with a bang, not a whimper!
This Holiday Season will be exciting, with the recent addition of new rubber stamps, handmade papers, scrapbooking supplies/embellishments, and artists tools and books galore to our ART SUPPLIES!! And, tons of new art from Helen Knaupp and Stephanie Petershagen - I've just gotten 30 new pieces of art jewelry completed (and poured 6 dozen Holiday Scent candles) - Dee is bringing in more of her wonderful flaxseed heatwraps - the shop has been re-set & re-vitalized, with Christmas trees galore to be loaded with vintage and art ornaments. We're jazzed and ready for the hustle and bustle to begin!
Don't miss the Art Exhibit, to be held November 26th (Small Business Saturday). Come meet Helen Knaupp, have some spiced cider and check out how great the shop looks!
