We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy. We, at Paint Away!, miss our customers and the hubbub that would usually be going on right now during Spring Break. It would normally be a busy time. I wake up every morning to Facebook memories of Spring Break pasts. And, oh, how different it is this year during COVID-19 which has temporarily closed our doors.
But we hope you are staying engaged and connected through many virtual means, as well as staying physically active to stay healthy and to lift the spirits up. These are “essentials” these days.
We will, someday, return and continue our services and offerings that bring much needed relief and enrichment to our community. We understand that being able to be creative can be comforting during this time of high anxiety and stress – I would even argue that it is also essential.
We have asked the Governor’s office to allow us to do Pottery-To-Go with No Contact curbside pickup or front door delivery option. They have denied us our request because we are non-essential, and therefore, it is against the Governor’s mandate to do it, otherwise. We are doing our part to flatten the curve, and we hope that other non-essential businesses are doing the same.
Until such time when we can welcome you back in our store or able to offer Pottery-To-Go curbside or delivery, this is just a short note to say hello, we’re thinking of you, and we’re wishing you health and safety.
As a Governor of another state has said - Stay Home. Stop the Spread. And Save Lives.
Love, Peace, and Paint Away!
