This season of Magpie Curio Co. has been so full of beautiful treasures and littered with undeserved graces and new friendships. But alongside my business’ story ran a story so different - one wrought with heart-breaking circumstances, those bad kind of surprises, and a crowded home that eventually cost me more than I was willing to give. Turns out my heart needs much more than a clear living room and an organized desk…it needs space to teach my kids math, to do that puzzle with my son, to help my husband with our art & design business, to finish walking though the final pieces of my Dad’s estate, and to take better care of myself, too. I have been trying to balance it all, never succeeding, always feeling guilty, and something had to give. Magpie Curio Co. is that thing.
My “work of heart” as one friend so aptly coined it, was truly that. Magpie Curio Co. was my heart laid bare in the sharing of beauty and joy, and in giving it my all, I pray that it brought that beauty and joy to many others. You can argue that I just sold things, but I also think we can agree that what we surround ourselves with can really brighten our lives and make our hearts smile. I will miss being a part of that special work, but as I’m closing this chapter (for now? for forever?), there will be room for the same beauty and joy in my home, in my family, and in my heart.
And this season has not been a waste at all! Quite the opposite. It has been a huge blessing! And for everyone who was even just the tiniest part of it, thank you so much! Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you… ❤️❤️❤️
