That's a wrap.
After so much thought, emotion, and reflection, I have made the decision to close our storefront. Our doors will officially close on Saturday, July 25th, or while product lasts.
I usually love writing a long, heartfelt post when something big is happening, but this one has been hard to put into words. Red Brick has been so much more than a store to me.
What started as a little business dream turned into one of the biggest chapters of my life. In November, Red Brick would have celebrated 12 years. Twelve years of creativity, risk, growth, connection, hard work, and community. Twelve years of learning not only how to run a small business, but how to trust myself, stretch myself, how to keep going even when things felt uncertain, and knowing when it's time for it to come to a close.
That time is now.
With the changing retail landscape, the demands of running a brick-and-mortar store, and where I am at in my life, I know in my heart this is the right time to close this chapter and make space for whatever comes next. To every single person who has supported me, shared my posts, cheered me on, attended an event, painted a piece of furniture, or simply walked through the doors and chose to support this little store, thank you.
To all the amazing women who have been part of my team over the years, thank you. Your support, hard work, friendship, and belief in this dream helped make Red Brick shine. We truly built something spectacular together.
To my family, thank you for always lifting me up when I felt discouraged, for cheering me on in my accomplishments, and for giving me the space to forge my own path, including making the difficult decision to close this chapter. Your love and support carried me, and I love you all so darn much!!!
Once again, thank you for being a part of the Red Brick Emporium journey. You helped make this place so much more than a shop. You made it a community, a creative space, and such a meaningful part of my life.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for 12 beautiful years.
