Closure Notice

I have some important news to share. As of September 23rd, Polka Dot Teapot will no longer be selling physical products, which means that side of the business is closing. I know this may come as a disappointment to many of you, and this wasn’t an easy decision for me to make. However, there’s a positive reason behind it—I’ve been offered an exciting opportunity with a fantastic local company, and I’ve decided to accept the job.

I thought long and hard about trying to do both, but with the time constraints, I don’t think I’d be able to keep up with physical orders in my free time. One thing I will never do is devalue my work by rushing it. I’m incredibly proud of what I create and would never want to send out rushed products to my fantastic customers. Plus, I need to consider my own well-being; burning the candle at both ends wouldn’t be good for me either.

I might occasionally release limited runs of popular products, but I’m not sure yet 😊. As for digital downloads, I’m still deciding whether to continue with them. If I do, new content will likely be very limited, but I’ll keep you posted.

The page and social media accounts will remain open. I love our little community here, and I know you’d all miss Aries, so I’ll be keeping the page and group active. I’m considering turning it into a blog with gardening tips, learning content, and maybe even some guest posts from other small businesses like mine. I love this community and want to continue supporting other businesses in this way.

The website will also stay open so you can access blog posts and more.

I have very mixed emotions today. I’m so excited about my new job, but it’s hard to let go of something I’ve poured my heart and soul into for the past four years. I started this business at the beginning of the pandemic, and its growth has been beyond my wildest dreams. It’s all thanks to you. I’ve been so fortunate to have such an amazing group of customers and friends supporting me through every product change and new launch. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it past 2020, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am.

If there’s anything you’ve had your eye on, now is the time to get it. I’ve added a 25% discount code (GOODBYE25) which is one use per customer and has no minimum spend. 

Thank you all for your incredible support. I love you all.

Thank you all for supporting my mum’s business for all these years- without all of you I wouldn’t have a cosy home or a full belly and a family who loves me.

Love and woofs

Aries
