It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this. We are going to close our store. This Saturday November 20th will be our last day. A lot has changed since Covid. When we had to shut down, I got a part time job in a pharmacy to pay the bills. That part time job turned into a full time position. Working at the pharmacy only allows me to be open on Saturdays which, I know is a busy day for everyone. I have really struggled with this, because while I love having my store and being able to create and to meet you all, I have also grown to love the people I work with. You all have become family, especially to Lainey who has grown up here. I have struggled because I don’t want to miss out on my little ones growing up. It’s happening so fast. My oldest graduated high school this past year and it just showed me how fast time goes. I already knew this, but it really hit home when he tossed that cap in the air. I want to spend as much time with them as possible. I cannot keep spreading myself so thin or I am not good to anyone. When I opened the store my main focus was to offer affordable home decor while doing something that I loved. And to show off my husband’s amazing talent at making furniture or really anything he was shown a picture of. I feel like we did this well. We were growing and it felt good. Then Covid happened and we just cannot keep going. We have tried but we must finally admit defeat. I am crying while I write this. My heart just breaks. There are so many of you who have become family. You will never know how much you all have really meant to me. You have watched my youngest little miss Lainey grow from a 3 month old baby to an almost 4 year old. Liam is now in kindergarten. It’s just crazy. I am not quite sure what is next for us. I don’t feel like this is forever, but a season. This store represents who I am and that’s not gone. I just need to put it on hold for a little while and focus on what’s most important, my family. I love you all and thank you for your support and love you have shown us over these past 4 years. This is not goodbye but a see you soon.
