It is with the utmost sadness I share the passing of our little baby Coco Chanel. I know she was deeply loved by so many and a neighborhood celebrity. She passed away peacefully at the shop in March surrounded by her family in the place she loved the most. I am so thankful so many people were able to meet her and she will live on forever in our space. If you have any photos of her, please DM us with it or put it on google so her image will live on forever in our reviews. I am sad to be without her and even more sad about the people who will never get a chance to meet her sassy attitude. There will never be another Coco, the goodest dog on Argyle 💕💕

QIDEAS 2025 VISION BOARD

As we reflect on another year and an almost one year anniversary to our renovation. We want to thank you, our community, our friends, and our customers for supporting us in 2024. We want to continue to grow and be transparent about what we are up too! Here are some of our goals for 2025 we want to share.

WEBSITE - We will FINALLY have an official website! We acknowledge how difficult it can be to get into the shop or see what’s available sometimes.

COMMUNITY - We want to have more community events and focus on creating more AAPI events for the community! 2024 was just the beginning! We loved seeing everyone enjoy our new space and connect with others here. So let’s make more room for third spaces!

GROWTH - We want to continue to see Q grow through creating a bigger team and more diverse products.

WORKSHOPS - We will be piloting some bonsai, terrarium, and weaving workshops to name a few for all ages.

COLLABORATION - We want more collaboration with our city and our neighbors.

💕💕 The goal, MORE JOY and MORE PLANTS! 🪴🪴
We want to continue to promise good vibes and most importantly longevity on Argyle Street.
