BITTERSWEET ANNOUNCEMENT: What’s Next for Red Letter Craftworks
First and foremost, thank you all for your unwavering support, especially through the many pivots my business has made along the way. Like many small business owners, I’m constantly adapting and learning as I go.
Last year, I took a major leap, introducing a refined collection of handcrafted products that helped clarify my vision for the business. With each ornament, game board, and statement wall art piece, and through custom orders, my excitement grew. However, despite that clarity, several factors, including the current economic challenges, have caused me to reassess my next steps. After much consideration, it’s bittersweet to announce that I will be closing Red Letter Craftworks in its current form.
The product side of my business will now transition into more of a hobby, while I focus on new endeavors, such as designing digital files for fellow makers—helping them create products for themselves and their customers. I will no longer be accepting custom orders or individual product requests, effective today.
If you have an outstanding order with me, rest assured I will be fulfilling it. If that’s you, please know your order is still in queue, and you’ll receive it as planned.
I do plan to keep my retail spots stocked, so you can still shop ready-made handcrafted items at Rusty Mule Antiques, Jina’s Junque, and Silkwood Blooms! I may also consider offering some products locally during the Christmas season, but that’ll be shared at a later time.
I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve received throughout this journey. While I had hoped to stay in business longer, I believe this is the right decision for me at this time. I encourage you to continue supporting small businesses and local makers wherever possible.
To all my awesome customers—THANK YOU! Your support has meant the world to me, and I am deeply appreciative to everyone who has been part of this experience.
