UPDATE:
On 6th August, Gilbert aka Dad was rushed to hospital with a serious health emergency. He underwent a 15-hour surgery, followed by further lifesaving surgery when complications arose. He has been in ICU ever since, and we have barely left his side.
We’re incredibly relieved to share that he has pulled through the worst of it, though he still has a long road of recovery ahead.
This is why the shop has been closed — we dropped everything to be by his side, and haven’t been able to think about anything except Gilbert fighting for his life. Now that he’s through the worst of it, we’re facing the reality of what comes next — for our family and for the shop. We’re hopeful we’ll be able to reopen soon, and will share updates as soon as we know more.
Thank you all so much for your patience and support. It means more than we can say. xo
