Please know after 45 beautiful years, our amazing staff and our Queen □ and gem/start of it all, someone I am lucky to call my beautiful grandmother, Lois Cataldo, WILL be gracefully closing our doors before spring time of this year. It was just a lot and we wanted to move slowly with it all, which we hope you understand! □□ We didn't want to confuse anyone in regards to our last post-we were just trying to find the words last week and we knew "retirement" didn't explain much. As one says, it's never a true goodbye, we have the Brass Lantern lingering through our homes and any light we see breezing through the air. We owe so much to her and her business that she cultivated into a magic realm throughout all of these years. My grandmother, Lois Cataldo is sad, she is hurting but she knows it was time. Thank you Metuchen for loving us as well as surrounding communities. I am an elementary music teacher and opera singer and a lot of my artistry has come from the store. Thank you for putting up with my crazy posts lol and being patient since I hadn't worked at the Brass in a few years and didn't know a lot of the pricing etc.haha. My grandmother is the proud owner of the Brass and I have been lucky and humbled to have grown up with this treasure for 31 years. I'd also like to introduce myself-my name is Taylor and I have run the social media for the Brass for some time now. I'd like to shout out Lorraine, Lydia, Jill, Pat and Carol for their help in closing the store. We also had AMAZING workers throughout our time. Although, knowing we have had the love and support of our wonderful customers takes a lot of pain away. There were tears, laughter, anxiousness, you name it, it was there. Last night at 9:10pm we set the last alarm and closed our beautiful store, the 2nd store to be exact after 45 plus gorgeous years that we know will leave a legacy beyond its measures.
