🚨🚨We have some big changes happening at BFW, please take a moment to read ⬇️🚨🚨
With heavy hearts we are sad to announce that we will be closing at the end of the year.
Before I go any further, we ARE COMPLETING ALL ORDERS PREVIOUSLY PLACED. It’s just taking more time than expected here’s why….
We have poured every single part of ourselves into this business. We did everything possible to adapt and accommodate our customers through the pandemic, while experiencing 300% increase in lumber costs and shipping nightmares. We pushed through hoping it would balance out but unfortunately my body had other plans.
Earlier this year we were terrified my cancer had returned. Luckily I am still cancer free but I was diagnosed with Lupus. I am not able to safely continue working in the shop at the same level without risking my health. Heather has been incredible helping keep BFW going, there were months she was running it all by herself.
Life handed us another curveball when Heather’s father was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. With that comes not only the desire to focus on family but also balancing her time between here and there as she helps with food and doctors appointments. It has become physically impossible for us to keep up with orders and we have to focus on our family.
To allow us to complete our backlogged orders we have stopped taking orders on our website and page for several months now (why we haven’t posted either). We will continue to complete those orders and have everything delivered/shipped by the end of the year. I understand those who placed orders expected them within an 8 week time-frame and we apologize for the delay and inconvenience it has caused. Please know we truly are working as diligently as possible and we appreciate your patience with us.
Those who have rallied for us, purchased from us, and supported us through the most incredible journey ever, THANK YOU. It is humbling to look back from where we started. I don’t think either one of us expected BFW to blossom and grow like this. For years we have advocated for hope and finding beauty in the dark and scary moments. Thank you to those who shared their stories and their journeys with us. I will continue to lean on those stories as a source for hope, so thank you.
I could go on for days but Heather says I need to stop rambling! So thank you for an incredible 7 years, we will deeply miss y’all.
