Hello hello👋,
So we have some BIG NEWS here, some of you already know but I’m afraid to say we are CLOSING our Chapel street shop for good. We are still very much in business but we will be moving the shop entirely online for the time being. This is not actually covid related although it has undoubtedly had an impact on our decision. Our lease is up at the end of January, we have had 5 happy years here but alas it feels like time to move on. Now we are a family of 3 we have outgrown the 1 bedroom accommodation above the shop, our bookshop neighbour Newlyn Books wants to retire and the current pandemic situation makes it feel like a good time to regroup.
This lockdown means no proper good byes and no time for a mega sale which feels very strange! We will of course miss seeing our lovely and supportive customers most of all and thank you so so much for all your kindness and custom over these years.
We will also be so sad to leave chapel street, the most beautiful road full of super cool independents at a time when it is really starting to thrive. We’ve had premises on the street for 7 years now and Newlyn Books closer to 20 years so it will be hard to say goodbye!
It’s not a proper goodbye though, we really
hope you will stay with us as we embark on establishing the shop online, we have lots of ideas and it feels exciting to start afresh. We also strongly suspect we may well pop up again somewhere some time when the time and place is right. So watch this space!
Much love and thanks. ❤️
