Article: Thank You Salt Spring
Thank You Salt Spring
To my Salt Spring crew—summer visitors, mariners, and the incredible island community I’ve called home for 30+ years—this one’s for you. With a heart full of mixed emotions, I’m saying ✌️ to our flagship store.
For the past six months, I’ve been quietly reflecting on what life might look like without our Salt Spring shop. My heart, my loyalty, and a younger version of me who dreamed of building the perfect store did not want to let go. But as summer wound down, so did my attachment to the goals I once set for myself. I’ve come to embrace something beautiful: life changes, and that’s the whole point!
SALT has grown. I’ve grown. And now, this brand is ready to evolve in a way that gives me more flexibility and adventure in this next chapter of life. Even my younger self would agree—that’s why I started this journey in the first place.
Has this been the hardest decision I’ve ever made? Yes. But it’s also the best one. Since making the call, I’ve felt more expansive, excited, and ready to focus on what’s next—all while making space for the things that truly matter.
☕️ Time for slow mornings
🦆 Time with my family + friends
🏕 Time for adventure + boating
✨ Time to grow SALT in new ways—ideas I’ve had for years but never the space to bring to life.
To my local customers: thank you. Your love and support over the years mean the world to me. If you can make it in before January to say goodbye and share memories, we'd love that so much - but if not, I’d love to see you at our Victoria office and showroom—or online. I have so much love for this island, this community, and the people who’ve been a part of my journey. I’ll be back often, just to enjoy it. 🤗
Here’s to more adventure and so much growth in 2025.
