Hi all! Long time no see! I apologize for being a little MIA lately. Between COVID exposure, delayed adoption hearing, quarantine, and virtual school my house has been a little bit of a circus lately. This leads to a couple announcements...
First: In a bittersweet turn of events I will be closing down my shop operations for the foreseeable future AFTER I have launched and sold through my Holiday Candle Line.
It has been increasingly difficult to obtain supplies in a timely and cost-effective manner since the pandemic hit. The uncertainty of inconsistent supplies and stress over whether I will be able to fulfill orders has been a difficult change and simply not how I want to run a business.
In addition to this, I have a new and exciting job opportunity putting my other skills to use while maintaining flexibility and home-based work. With this transition, it is clear that my time and availability will look very different.
Lastly, and possibly most obvious, we are still in the grips of a worldwide pandemic. Life has changed and new challenges are altering how we do things, and for a work-from-home mom to two boys, my day-to-day plans and routines can and have been changing with abrupt severity. This break from my candle business is simply acknowledging the fact that I have limits, and it's ok to take a step back and simplify our home right now.
I truly believe one day soon we will be able to open operations back up! I love what I do, I love that you love what we have put out into the world. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the last year! This is not goodbye, not even close! Just a "see ya soon"!
Second: Holiday Candle Line will launch Wednesday of this week at noon, supplies are VERY limited! Once it's gone, it's gone.
I will post scent profiles and product info tomorrow morning so stay tuned!
One last hoorah! (for now...)
Lots of love!
Kayla
