Thistle 'N Thorn Floral Announces Closing
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Another North Street business has announced their sudden closure.
Thistle 'N Thorn Floral announced on Instagram that its doors will close.
"What many people don't see behind a creative business is how much it grows, shifts, and eventually asks more of you than one person can realistically carry. Between the rising costs of flowers, increasing rent, and the sheer volume of work, the business has become almost too successful for one person to sustain alone."
Owner Ashley Davidson opened the shop at 393 North St. a couple years ago and was selling flowers long before that according to her social media history.
Thistle 'N Thorn sold floral arrangements for events like weddings, funerals, and more. She also sold gifts, bouquets and wreaths according to Downtown Pittsfield Inc. Davidson also hosted events and workshops for those to create their own arrangements.
"While this chapter is closing, I want to be very clear about something. This is not the end for me," Davidson wrote on Instagram.
"I'm incredibly proud of what I built. It took vision, grit, creativity, and a lot of courage. Those things don’t disappear just because a business chapter ends. If anything, they’re the reason I’m confident stepping into whatever comes next."
She also said she will be honoring the weddings and events she has already scheduled and plans to offer more workshops.
