Tacoma, here we come!

The building we're in is actually family owned and it's been so comforting to start my business in a location that my husband's family ran their own business in so many years ago. I feel connected to the space in Lakewood in many ways, and while it's sentimental and I think I'll have some tears saying goodbye, it feels like it's time to do that uncomfortable, risky thing: GROW.

I've been meaning to share this news, but life's been hectic in that kind of particular, manic way that only summertime gives us. This fall, September 2026, We'll be moving into a beautiful space in the Broadway plaza area, 1130 Broadway to be exact. We're only a few doors down from the new Wooden City location, in the same building as Fujiya, and surrounded by other vibrant, small businesses doing their thing and doing it well. 

This has been months in the making- lots of thoughtful planning and pining have gone into what feels like a monumental decision as a solo small business owner. I cannot tell you how many nights I've stayed up trying to imagine how this change will affect us- and you as well. From parking to ADA accessibility. natural light, security, and the overall vibe, I've done my best to choose a space that feels like a warm hug; a space so alive and comfortable that the $2 parking fee melts away and feels more than worth it.

The point of this move is to bring more value to you, and to our time spent together. I want to grow in a way that feels natural and organic, not rushed or inauthentic.

I can't think of a better corner of Tacoma to be in- with the pretty trees, the abundance of history, theaters, eateries, cafés, and art galleries bringing community and abundance to our diverse and beautiful city. I'm so excited to be a part of the quilt.

I sincerely hope you'll come visit us in our new digs! The long game goal is to host events at least quarterly, to welcome groups to visit and share together in fashion and creativity…and to have some fun!

If you want to drop me a line of encouragement, suggestions for events or ideas, please do! All are welcome and appreciated.

I'll be sharing in real time on Instagram as we get ready to pack up and move forward.

 So much gratitude for each and every one of you that have shown Gold Dust love over the last 7 years, I couldn't be here without you. You helped make this happen!

Cheers to more art, love, connection, and slow growth!
