Hi everyone!!
It has certainly been a while! But I am happy to be posting again!

Here is a bit of an update: since closing my store (Apothecary on Main) my main focus has been healing & making everything in my life as simple as possible - focusing on myself & Amellia. And we have thankfully done that!

As you can see, I have changed my business name, but I have not stopped creating! Amellia & I will always be making, creating, & growing in our creative & talented ways!

This brings me to our lastest adventure. Amellia will have the amazing opportunity this school year to attend the TK Choir Trip to New York City! We put our heads together & teamed up with Inkwell Archives Bookstore, who were gracious enough to allow us to set up a bookshelf in their store (Thank you again, TJ & Jess!! ) Amellia & I made Bookmarks, as a fundraiser to help Amellia get to New York City!

There are 3 types of fabric bookmarks: Corner, Magnetic, Flat. Along with some digital printed bookmarks with something for everyone! Who doesn't need a bookmark when you are visiting Inkwell to buy some of their fantastic books!!

All money made will go to help Amellia get to New York City!
Please spread the word, share, & stop into Inkwell Archives to see the selections!

Tomorrow will begin the LAST FULL WEEK that my store will be open.
I will be giving 30% Off all products left in the store. I am finished making any new restocks, so what is left is what there is.

ALSO - I will be selling the furniture & displays, of which I have put prices on most of them. If there is something you are wanting to purchase that DOES NOT have a price - please speak to ME (Ann) directly - either as a message through here or come into my store after 3pm & talk to me directly.

THANK YOU for all your love & support for me & my family during this difficult time. I appreciate all your kind words!!

Restocked the LAST of my Magnesium Spray.
I also had some to put in bottles as REFILL!

I have restocked:
- SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER BARS
- SOLID LOTION
- LIP BALM

I still plan to make Magnesium Body Butters, Hand & Body Lotions.

ONCE STOCK IS GONE IT IS GONE!!
Closing July 31st 2025.

It is with great sadness & deep sorrow to have to post this. I will be closing Apothecary on Main at the end of July 2025.

Many of you that know me, this is NOT a decision I am making lightly. My shop is my dream & I am grateful to have had the chance, if only for a moment, to experience a bit of that dream. I am a single mom, that works a full time day job along with being on the Village Council, so with the passing of my dad, it has left me unable to be at my shop enough to keep it open. I have spoke with many people to see if there are any options I have not thought of, but with the economy, the still rising cost of supplies & things that are necessary to run my shop, I am at a loss as to how to work thing out. Of the 3 years my shop was open I never paid myself. All monies went back into the shop to try to grow. But the last couple months have been the worst sales I have ever had. 😩

So, for the month of July - I will be making as many products as I can to use up what I have left of my supplies. Please stop in frequently to see what is available. Once it is gone, it will no longer be available. Towards the end of the month, I will accept offers for all furniture, tables, & display units as well, as I do not have a place to put them once the shop is closed.

THANK YOU, to all of you that made my dream a reality! YOU, wonderful customers, friends, & family, gave me a piece of my dream I never thought was possible! For you I am grateful!

I will be open, but as of now my store hours will vary day to day as I am trying to navigate the best options for my business. Please be patient with me as I am deciding the best thing to do for Amellia & I.
The possibility of closing the store is one of my options if I am unable to figure out a way to keep it open. This is not something I am taking lightly but I also have to consider Amellia's & my health & well being.

So for the time being, look for my neon open sign in the window to know if my store is open or not.

Thank you for your grace & understanding!
Love, Ann
