This one is going to be long…so bear with us. As we all know, the impact of COVID has changed the landscape of how business is being done all over the world. Like other businesses that have been closed and at reduced capacity for extended periods of time, the members of NOCO Crop Stop have had to greatly change how we do business. You’ve seen us doing a lot more Facebook Lives, virtual events, Zoom crops, and trying to stay connected with all of you in new and different ways. The good news is, all of us in NOCO have been successful at that in ways that are unique to the structure of our individual businesses. As we have continued down that path, it has become apparent to us that we have each outgrown the amazing co-op that is NOCO Crop Stop in it’s current form. None of us are going away, leaving, or closing. We are just transitioning to new versions that work best for our individual businesses. As such, NOCO Crop Stop will be closing its doors on Sunday, June 13th. We leave NOCO with such pride that we created an amazing co-op of three business owners who truly love and care for each other, and only want the best for each other’s individual businesses. We are also so thankful for the amazing community of crafters that we have had the privilege of hosting in our crop room, at events, and many of whom we have become life-long friends with. Crop-A-Latte, Memories Unlimited, and Free Heart will always be NOCO Crop Stop. And in the future, when it’s safe for everyone to be in a group again, we may be back at it with collaborative events and more!
From now until the June 13th, NOCO Crop Stop's hours will be Friday, Saturday & Sunday 12 noon-5 pm.
Free Heart will be transitioning to an online platform offering product bundles and highlight new products in the mixed media world - please be patient! I'll continue to update our YouTube channel with technique videos and one day offer classes and live online events via Facebook or YouTube. You may see Tanya teaching at crops or in-person events as the world starts to slowly open safely.
Keep an eye out for announcements! I appreciate your support and look forward to new ways of connecting to all of you.
Keep creating art - beause you’re worth it!
Tanya
