This past year at Redeux has seen some remarkable
developments: the introduction of our Redeux chalk-painted Cottage Furniture
line, the addition of more art and accessories to our inventory, the
restoration of more higher-end pieces and the offering of more one-of-a-kind
period pieces. The most remarkable development of all was of a personal nature,
when The Red Head became, Mrs. Red Head.
But, there have been other developments as well. Redeux has
been honored that a very high percentage of visitors to our shop have become
customers and avid fans of what we do. Unfortunately, the number of visitors
to our area (not only our shop) has decreased. When surveyed, quite a few of
our customers have told us that the area does not work for them. The adage, “location, location”,
is true.
After months of weighing our options, we have come to a
decision.
Redeux will be closing at our present location. Our last official day of business will be Sunday, December
30th.
We will be open Friday
and Saturday, December 28th & 29th, from 10:00 A.M.
to 5:00 P.M. and Sunday, December 30th, from 12:00 to 4:00 P.M..
We’ll be having very special pricing on the inventory pieces that are finished
and are up in the shop.
Please stop by to say hello – not goodbye!
Also, I will be working in the shop during the first two
weeks of January, completing work on some special pieces. Please, call the shop
if you’d like to stop by. We'd also appreciate your comments or ideas.
Finally, while we are disappointed in having to make this
decision, we are not sad. We know it is part of a plan, unknown at this time to
us. Just as some changes that took place in our “garage days” led us to opening Redeux,
the Shop, these present changes will lead to something else. Of that I am
confident. Working on the furniture – touching history – has become a very
important part of my life. That will continue. Where and how it will continue
remains to be seen. You will be kept
informed of all developments.
Hoping to see you this weekend.
Bill
