Grindstone Clothing Co – Taking it easy this summer!
Happy Spring Cottagers! Well, sort of. Hopefully we’ve seen the last of the snow! We’d like to offer a huge thanks again for your continued support of our fun little side project at the lake. We love seeing so many people sporting their Sweaters, T-shirts and Hats around the lake, and in the city! As many of you know, we have a Mini-Grindstoner named Scarlett who fills our day with so much joy and loves spending time at the cottage. She’s almost three, and is ready to actively participate in Grindstone Days. With that being said, Taylor and I feel as though we need to take a brief hiatus from Grindstone Clothing, so that we can enjoy our long weekends, and especially Grindstone Days with our daughter. We’ll be having a flash sale in late spring/early summer, so keep your eyes peeled to our Facebook and Instagram Pages.
We may have small drops from time to time (like baseball hats, toques or specialty sweaters), so fear not, we will most definitely be back! Thank you again for all of the support over the year. See you at the lake!
