It is with a very heavy heart that I make this announcement. ❤️
After a lot of thought, I have made the decision to close my store.
I have enjoyed every single second of the last 8 years, and I will never be able to fully thank you all for sticking with me through it all. The last 5 years have been a mess in more ways than one, and you have continued to support me, my little business, and all of my crazy ideas through every chapter.
I am not ashamed to admit that I am overwhelmed.
As other chapters of my life have come to a close, I have found myself craving a slower pace. My kids are only little once, and that time is gone in the blink of an eye. Right now, I want to be more present and active in their lives. I want to enjoy the little things instead of constantly feeling like I'm trying to keep up with everything.
So, for now, I am choosing to slow down.
I will be having a few open houses to try to sell the products and inventory I currently have. If you have an order with me, don't worry — I will be completing those orders within the next two weeks.
I may also post some of the things I make as I go through everything, because I have A LOT of blank inventory. 😂 Or I may decide to bundle it all together and sell it that way. Either way, keep watching because there will be plenty of stuff going up for grabs.
This may not be the complete end of Harmlessly Inappropriate Workshop. Maybe someday I'll find my way back to it. But for right now, I have to make the decision that is best for me mentally and for my family.
I am not handling the added stress well, and honestly, in this economy, the stress isn't worth the payout of running a small business right now.
This isn't an easy decision. Eight years is a LONG time. This little shop has been a huge part of my life, and so many of you have been a huge part of that journey.
So from the absolute bottom of my heart...
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ❤️
Thank you for every order. Thank you for every share. Thank you for every like. Thank you for every kind word. Thank you for every laugh. Thank you for believing in me. And thank you for simply being YOU and supporting me in all the ways you have.
I will forever be grateful that I got to build this little dream in my hometown and share it with all of you.
For now, I'm choosing my kids. I'm choosing my peace. I'm choosing to breathe.
And I'm choosing to believe that closing one chapter doesn't mean the story is over. ❤️
Be watching — I'll be posting things as I start cleaning everything out.
