Note from shop owner To Our Incredible Customers,

After over a decade of pouring our hearts into this shop, it is with great sadness that we announce we are closing shop. This decision did not come lightly and has been one of the hardest we’ve had to make.

As our family has grown, so too have the demands at home. After the birth of our second child, balancing the needs of family and work became increasingly difficult. This past year brought unexpected challenges—our eldest started kindergarten, and with it came a cycle of illnesses, including COVID, the flu, and two bouts of pneumonia that nearly hospitalized our youngest. Amid these struggles, we faced the sudden loss of my dad, which shattered our world, followed by my mom's health declining as she grieved. Navigating these crises has been all-consuming, leaving little room to keep up with the demands of running this shop.

Delays in production became unavoidable, and despite my best efforts, I fell behind on updates to our customers. The overwhelming negativity and lack of understanding I encountered in response was deeply hurtful, especially as I was already grappling with grief and mental health challenges. It has been an incredibly difficult year, and continuing in this space has taken a toll I can no longer bear.

Despite these hardships, I am immensely grateful for the wonderful customers who have supported us over the years. Your kindness, patience, and encouragement have meant the world. While we will no longer be taking custom orders, there is a possibility we may reopen in the coming months with ready-to-ship items only.

Saying goodbye is bittersweet, but it is clear that stepping away, even temporarily, is what’s best for our family and my well-being. For now, we are closing this chapter and focusing on healing and brighter days ahead. Who knows—perhaps we’ll cross paths again in the future. Until then, as we always sign off, love & light.

With gratitude
Laura & Becca

    Laura

    Owner

    I left my career as a professional chef when one of my other hobbies (jewelry making) began taking over my world. Cooking will always be a passion, but creating jewelry and accessories is where my heart is!

    I studied Fashion in college, and am a self taught Graphic designer. Like my sister, I have always been drawn to art and design.

Production partners

  • Cushion Manufacturer

    The printing service we use has been in business since 1998 and produce everything in the USA. All of their tattoos are made with skin safe, FDA approved ingredients. We have been extremely pleased with the high quality products they provide!
