Spa Boutique is on Fire!
For real.
On Tuesday January 19th, in the middle of the night, the office next to ours caught fire.The fluorescent lights sparked and lit the ceiling on fire.
We were so very lucky. Theirs was pretty much destroyed. What the fire didn’t get, the sprinklers and water made short work of.
We managed to get away with only smoke damage. I do apologize for any parcels that smell like campfire. Some of the packing material absorbed the smell, but we wanted to get the orders out as soon as possible and the products themselves are completely fine. Just the boxes have a faint scent. Anything that hadn’t been packed yet is having new materials used.
We clearly could not work in the building as the electricity had been cut and it was very hard to breathe. Amazingly enough we had been planning on moving the next week anyway, so we had a new location.
Pulling together as a team, we managed to pack and relocate within a day and a half. Internet and phones were installed the next day.
We are now nice and settled in our most beautiful and biggest space yet.
We do apologize for any inconvenience our two days of catch up may have caused. It put us behind a little bit.
We do want to thank everyone for their patience and support over the last week. It was very, very tiring.
I’ll try and post more pictures as they become available.
This is our stairway with mostly water damage. The inside was much worse but we only had camera phones and it was too dark.
Our new office! We have a cozy little office area and a nice big space for shipping.
We appreciate all of our customers so much, we will be sending out an email shortly with some great Fire Sale! discounts. So if you haven’t signed up for our newsletter, now would be a great time.
