Dearest friends,

Two years ago today, we embarked on a new journey of having our own storefront. The memories have been incredible. We have loved baking for you, enjoying a cup of tea with you, and building relationships with each of you. The support we have received from you – some of you from our first Saturday at the farmer’s market - has meant the world to us.

Recently, as some of you already know, I have been faced with some health issues. I know I need to focus on these issues, however, owning a business has put that on hold. Lately, through several conversations with my husband, my family, and my doctors, we’ve had to make a difficult decision. Wednesday will be our last day with a storefront at Jefferson Pointe.
