Hello friends, after much contemplation, the time has come to close our doors.
I opened Evolve with heart and hope in 2014 and will be closing this chapter of Evolve’s story with heart and hope.
It has been my great honor and privilege to be a part of Tacoma’s business community. What I dreamed to create came to fruition. I was able to employ a dozen women, support local artists and this city I love with tax revenue.
What I treasure the most from this experience is all of the connections I made with so many wonderful and beautiful people. There was a lot of laughter, even some tears, high fives and hugs, some “you are drop dead gorgeous in that dress” and “you’re going to kill it at your interview” and so many other memories I will carry in my heart for all time.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This dream could not have been realized without the support of people I love. Evolve’s biggest cheerleader has been my husband, Peter. I met him in 2016 through Evolve! He bluetooth’d your vintage radios, helped scour the country for vintage finds, chatted it up with many of you in the shop and was always there to encourage this dream with his time, generosity, his business expertise and his big heart. He’s such a treasure.
A huge thank you and acknowledgment to my three daughters and my bonus kids for all of their help and support over the years…from breaking down boxes to helping at events and much more. I hope and pray they received inspiration and know they can accomplish their own dreams. A big thank you to my Mom, she has always believed in me. Besides making the beautiful jewelry we sold in the shop, she supported Evolve in so many other ways.
Thank you so very much to all of my employees over the years, in particular to Kyla who was with us the longest and was always so very kind with customers.
Thank you for voting us best boutique in the South Sound, twice!
Everything is now 50% off through the 29th of this month. Many display pieces people expressed interest in buying are now available for purchase!
Wherever the journey in this beautiful life takes us next, I will always be nothing but thankful for Evolve and for all of you. ❤️
