Goodbye and Thank you!
After incredible 13 years, ( 2 months and 13 days) with a truly heavy heart, I must announce that I am closing my little shop forever. 29th of November will be our last day. This has been one of the hardest decisions of my life — shaped by countless conversations, doubts, tears, sleepless nights, and overwhelming stress. This past year has tested me in every possible way and brought more challenges than I ever expected. And after trying everything I could, I have to do what feels most sensible in this moment.
I once believed the first year would be the hardest — but it wasn’t. It was our best year. The year everything began, the year I met you, got to know you, and when some of you became my friends. I still remember showing my friend the shop for the first time and telling him what I wanted to do. And he said, with a hint of pity, ‘Are you completely crazy? This will never work, not in Forest Hill. Never. This area isn’t ready for a shop like this. There are only off-licenses and nail bars here.’ But it worked! It really worked! For 13 years! And it was such a huge part of my life. This shop was never just a business
- it was a community, a home, and a space filled with laughter, stories, and connections I will treasure forever.
I’ve had the privilege of meeting the most incredible people, many of whom have become friends for life. You’ve shared your lives with me, supported me through every high and low, and made these years unforgettable. For that, I will be always so grateful. To our wonderful customers, supporters, and friends — thank you. Thank you for every visit, every conversation, every smile, and every moment you chose to spend with us. To my amazing employees- thank you for keeping up with me all this years, I know I’m a bit crazy but we had a good run and so much fun along the way. But it wouldn’t be me if I just left quietly! This has to be with a bang! So we invite you to our farewell party on Saturday 29th November from 7 PM until... well, until we can’t go anymore.
