If you're local, you've probably got a pretty good idea why we've made the decision to relocate our shop.

This wasn't an impulsive decision. It's one we've thought through carefully, sought wise counsel, and discussed endlessly. Ultimately, we believe it's the best path forward for our family, our customers, and the future of what we're building.

Our goal has always been bigger than simply keeping the doors open. We're committed to growth, nourishment and building community, all while keeping our priorities in the right order. Sometimes that means being willing to make difficult changes in pursuit of something better.

We're sorry for the short notice and understand that many of you will have questions. For now, we're asking for a little patience as we work through the details and prepare for what's next. What we do know is this: we're moving forward with optimism and a tremendous amount of gratitude.

To everyone who stopped by on Friday to wish us well, thank you. The hugs, tears, kind words, prayers, and encouragement meant so much to our family. We are carrying those moments with us and holding them close in this season.

To so many of our regulars, we're especially sorry that we didn't get the opportunity to share this news in person the way we would have liked. One of the greatest gifts of this journey has been the relationships we've built around cups of coffee, conversations, celebrations, and ordinary days.

To our artists, makers, musicians, workshop hosts, and other vendors whose events we've had to postpone or reschedule, thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding. We know this change has affected your plans too. We remain committed to finding opportunities and a space to showcase your beautiful work, talents, and businesses, and we're looking forward to continuing those partnerships in this next chapter.

To the City of Collinsville Texas including the EDC, Chamber, Police & Fire thank you for allowing us to the opportunity to host community events, celebrations, and gatherings that brought people together.

This chapter is closing, but the story isn't over.

Tomorrow is the last day to experience our featured artist's watercolor bird collection in our coffee shop gallery.

Her artwork has brought so much beauty and conversation into the space over the past few weeks, and we’re grateful to have shared it with our community.

Several original pieces and limited edition prints are still available — so if you’ve been considering taking home a one-of-a-kind original, don’t miss your chance.

In honor of Tabby's love of the outdoors, we’ll also be offering 30% off select outdoor essentials during the final day of the showcase — including:
🌿 Pur03 botanical insect repellent

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a pause to honor lives laid down, families forever changed, and a sacrifice none of us could ever fully repay.

To the parents who lost children, the widows, the orphaned, and every family carrying the weight of that loss—we see you. Our hearts are with you today.

Live with gratitude.
Remember with humility.
Never lose sight of what this day truly means.
