Down in the dumps.

<div style="text-align: center;">Hey guys, whoa sorry for the complete radio silence over here! It always feels like just as things are starting to settle down, something crazy happens. It's been that kind of week. We're sorry to abandon ship, our heads are too full to bust out a blog post. It would be easy to post some random post just for the sake of it, but our hearts wouldn't really be in it, and you wonderful readers deserve more than that. <span style="text-align: start;">Not to worry though, we are going on our trip to Thailand next week and are going to relax and regroup. We're excited to share photos and updates with you guys, and then once we return, things are going to change around here. Until then, we're probably going to be a little M.I.A, but please bear with us!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAsqJpl7rf5cd4E04ZZMAzoK6tyl7BpnE7D2ESAZWzab_EPs4Z6nFo0YpfYu0QNTOro5UNRhBWdm2JyKB-H9-uWK7LqiyLBenFpm1Y2Usm07K21VHDQloFXTUfhm5UZSZAqkgq_faRdE/s1600/packing_for_thailand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAsqJpl7rf5cd4E04ZZMAzoK6tyl7BpnE7D2ESAZWzab_EPs4Z6nFo0YpfYu0QNTOro5UNRhBWdm2JyKB-H9-uWK7LqiyLBenFpm1Y2Usm07K21VHDQloFXTUfhm5UZSZAqkgq_faRdE/s1600/packing_for_thailand.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Normally I'm fully packed approximately 3 weeks before I leave, but I've left things a little to the last minute this time around.

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!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">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.</div><div style="text-align: center;">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!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">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!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">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! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xo, Erin & Stef</div>
