Big news.

Well folks, some of you may already know this, but most of you don't. At the end of December, we will be closing the doors to Rhymes with Orange for good. Our lease is up at the end of November, and we have chosen not to renew it. The past three years have been a total roller-coaster, and it's time to take things in a new direction! It's bitter sweet to think about closing the doors seeing as how it's been way more successful than we ever could have imagined. At first it was hard for us not to think about closing as a failure, but it's really not. We had an incredible run, it's just time to move forward!

On the plus side, things are going to be changing drastically around these parts in the upcoming months. We are finally going to put our studio to good use. We feel like in the last year we've lost that spark to really enjoy what it is that we are doing. It's time to buckle down and get creative again; to start making, meeting, collaborating and truly be passionate about what we do once again.
We will be doing pop up shops upstairs as well as lots of other fun events that are in the works. So please keep an eye out. We will be doing a major blog overhaul, launching a new online shop, and much much more!

We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of you that have supported us over the last three years, and will hopefully continue to do so in our next chapter!

Obviously we have a lot of stuff we need to get rid of before we close, so we're having sales until then, so come on by! 

xo, Erin & Stef
