We’re Moving Late 2024 / Early 2025!
We’re excited to share that we are moving into our very own brick-and-mortar in late 2024. Our new place is just two miles down the road from our current location and will offer up the same East Austin charm as our longtime home. And did we mention it’s an old church?! It’ll be business as usual at Rosewood until then. We can’t wait to share the new space with you!
