So here's the BIG NEWS: We will be closing our Hampden location on
Wednesday, December 31, 2014.
And Dangerously Delicious Pies will open in early January in this space! The owners, Mary and John Wortman, have a thriving Dangerously Delicious in Canton at 2839 O'Donnell Street. So this will be their second location.
While it is the end of an era (a decade!) for breathe books, I am very excited for Mary and John. They love the space, the vibes, the karma we have created over the past 10 years here. The menu, of course will be different, but they do offer some vegan and gluten free pies as well as their famous sweet and savory pies. John and Mary will keep the coffee bar and soups going as well! I'm very happy for them. They are very enthusiastic and happy to have a home in Hampden! I hope you will welcome them!
So with this notice begins our BIG SALE. Beginning on Saturday, *almost everything in the store will be 25% off. Books (new and used), CDs, essential oils, singing bowls, tarot decks, oracle cards, candles, greeting cards, incense, statues, charms, soaps, scarves, salt lamps, sage, stones, - ALL 25% off. Hurry on in because I know everything will go fast.
With the closing of my Hampden shop, I will be able to more fully concentrate on Ayurvedic and vegetarian cooking classes, Ayurvedic consultations and life-style classes, meditation and large author events. I'm sad to see breathe go but also eager to follow the path of my heart and delve deeper into Ayurveda. The cafe has shown me that there definitely is an audience in Baltimore for great vegetarian and vegan food so I know many of you will want to come and learn how to create these fine foods for yourself!
My new businesses, Susan's Kitchen and breathe Ayurveda, will operate out of my home in Reisterstown. We may in the future open a storefront on Main Street, but right now we want to concentrate our efforts on creating a full schedule of classes and workshops. To schedule a consult please email me at [email protected] or call me at 410-979-2096. Stay tuned for the 2015 schedule.
In the meantime classes go on! See our November and a December highlight below.
More to come!!
Much love,
Susan
* Sale does not include Ayurvedic books or products, cafe food or special orders. We are happy to place special orders for you but they will not be discounted. We will continue to take special orders until December 20.
