Due to a fire, Stampeaz is closed.
The entire store has been donated to an intrepid group of people who showed up to haul everything away – soot and all. My hope is that they will share the wealth with other creative people and Stampeaz in its current iteration will go down in a proverbial blaze of glory. While it hurt to see years of work go up in smoke, I’m delighted that everything was saved from a landfill.
Who knows, perhaps when this ordeal is over a puffin may rise from the ashes like the fabled phoenix. We shall see! In the meantime, I will miss packing orders, finding out what everyone enjoys working with and hope that we can still keep in touch.
