This isn't goodbye. It's see you later. But- in the meantime- enjoy the slideshow over the past year and 1.5ish!
Today I closed the doors on The Copper Garden, and I don't quite know how to put into words what this little shop has meant to me. So I'm just going to try.
Chris, Pris, and Lisa, this shop does not exist without you three. You are the reason we opened in less than three months, and you were the creative brains behind so much of what this place became. You will forever be the inspiration here.
Michelle and Tabitha, you helped get this thing off the ground when it was just an idea and a lot of hope.
Cynthia, you stayed on board with Big Red Brand even when you thought I was crazy. You were probably right, and I'm so glad you stayed anyway.
Nicole, you came in when we needed you most and learned floral from the ground up, one thing at a time. You will forever be one of the most loyal and hardworking people I will ever know.
Sunny, you have been the rock that keeps everything running, mostly from behind the scenes where nobody sees it but me. Thank you.
Lindsey, you came in for marketing at exactly the moment we needed you for both companies, and then you picked up the slack on the store floor too, every time we needed it. You did more than your job title ever said.
To our interns, y'all have been amazing and we are so proud of the part you've had in all of this. We are so excited for this program to continue to grow.
To my kids, thank you for crafting with me. I'm so excited to have more time with you.
To my mom, you have been an inspiration in a way you will just never fully know. I can't say how much I loved the memories we were able to share with Dad down here. Plus- you truly make the best cookies ever.
To Garen, thank you for not divorcing me. Just kidding (mostly). Thank you for sticking with me through this whole crazy idea.
To this community, we love you and we are so excited for what's next.
The Copper Garden is not saying goodbye. We are saying see you soon. The future looks different, but it looks beautifully bright.
Hugs- Liz
