SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT

We want to thank you for the past 9 years of business and friendship. It has meant the world to us. Unfortunately, this business has grown larger than us. We love doing custom art. But the demands of it is taking a toll on my personal health. We've always been upfront with our long ship times. Up to 90 days. We know that is a long wait to ask. But it is policy.
Over the past year, I've received more mean messages and threatening messages about wait time than I have over the course of 9 years. Most people are cut out for handling that kind of aggression. I am not. My stomach has been in severe pain for 8 months. My clinical anxiety is at an all time high. I've lost all joy in creating. Which, is not fair to anyone wanting a pair of painted shoes. I cannot create something nice if my heart isn't in it. I look at my paints and want to cry.
So for now, it is good bye. I will leave our Instagram and page open for now in case any regulars would like to reach out for shoes. But I'll be shutting down our shops over the course of this weekend.
Thank you all again for the past wonderful years. We have loved creating shoes for you. - Rowan

Hello!
Sorry it's been a bit. Due to some personal issues, some things ran behind. I am deeply sorry. Today I'm making a huge post office run. By Wednesday I plan to have every open order out.

Thank you to everyone for your extended patience.

Shop update: (it may get lengthy, I'm a wordy woman)

So, we have been at this shoe painting stuff coming up on 9 years. We have enjoyed nearly every minute of it.

But, we are finding ourselves too big for what 2 people can do. We are keeping our shop shut down until August. We've got orders to catch up on, and a summer to enjoy with our kiddos.

I've been considering shutting down for good. But I'm afraid I will miss the art, and all of you. Instead, we are going to limit the number of custom spots. It's the only way we can continue on and not get burnt out. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may cause. When we reopen and I have a solid plan, I will lay that out.

All that being said, please remember, we have a 4-8 week turnaround time. I know it's a big gap in time, but we have to keep it this way. Much like everything, we get burnt out. If there's a night I don't feel like painting, I'm not going to force it. Your shoes will reflect that. It's just a little reminder for us, and for all small shops. We are doing our very best. Trust me. We are not in this for the money. None of us small shops charge enough to cover the time and effort on our products. We are here to create and bring joy. Constant messages and anger will not move along the progress. We are trying to be efficient as possible. But, we do not work at Amazon speed. When you shop handmade, it takes time. There's a lot of love going in there.

Thank you for all your support these past 9 years. Thank you for supporting small business. We are beyond thankful. I'll see you all in August with updates!

Excuse the sideways photo. Tech sometimes... Anyway, I'm finishing these all up tonight. Headed to the mail tomorrow.
