'tis not goodbye"


We have been thinking about it for quite sometime now. This year was exceptionally bad - what with the horrendous housing market crash and ulcer-inducing $4.00/gallon gas. In the battle between economy and inspiration - the ugly former won! So finally, over one weekend, we have decided to call it quits - for now! For practical reasons - surely not lost to everyone - we will need to close our storefront at Seafood City. HOWEVER, we will continue to exist online - the sala-imports.com will live on! Meanwhile, huge closing sale is going on everyday until we close as we hope to get most our stuff out of the door.


Two days ago, I sent the email announcing our closing (end of August this year). Some friends e-mailed right back expressing kind sentiments. We are so touched to say the least. We will definitely missed all the people we met and got to know over the years. We hope that the ties we bind are strong enough to reach us in the cyberspace. WE have not really sat down and think what we will do next - besides keeping the online store. But ideas are starting to grow in our minds that would hopefully keep Sala alive. Stay tuned for the future!
