A FAREWELL MESSAGE
After 15 years of pouring myself into this
beautiful business, I have decided it’s time
to focus my energy on my baby girl Coco, who
is the light of my life. I recently heard the
metaphor that time is like a melting ice cube
and I want to soak up every drop I can with
her. In turn, Bixby & Ball will be closing its
doors at the beginning of June.
While change is inevitable and also integral
to our personal growth and evolution, it’s often
bittersweet and this decision certainly comes
with sadness for everything I’ll miss about
Bixby & Ball — our team, our community, our
special little cottage, the feeling I get when
creating vignettes throughout the shop — all of
it. But there’s also excitement and celebration
for what is to come, for all of us. For me
personally and the joy of motherhood, for my
team and the opportunities that await each of
them, for our community and what comes next
in our place. I remember how excited we were
to get the key to the cottage back in 2010 and
now it will be someone else’s turn to open the
door to their entrepreneurial dream.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude
to our customers, many of whom have been
with us since we first opened our doors, for
welcoming us into your homes and giving us
the opportunity to do what we love each day.
You have become part of our Bixby & Ball family
and we will miss you tremendously. And to my
team, you are truly the best of the best and
I am forever grateful to each of you for giving
of yourselves so generously to help me grow
this business into what it is today. I never
could’ve done it without you and I wouldn’t have wanted to anyway. From the beginning,
my biggest hope was that stepping into Bixby
& Ball would feel less like visiting a store and
more like coming home, and I think we’ve done
that together.
Thank you again for 15 years that have shaped
me in ways I never could have imagined. What
an amazing gift, what an incredible ride.
All my best,
FOUNDER & OWNER
