Hey friends 💟
It’s been a minute, and I’ve truly missed you all.
After closing the storefront, I had to take some time to work on things mentally. I want to be really transparent with you—2024 was hands down my hardest year owning a storefront. By the time 2025 rolled around, I was completely burnt out and just couldn’t keep going the way I was.
I honestly thought I’d close the store and jump right back into online sales… but that didn’t happen. And looking back now, I can see why. God had a plan when I closed the doors—even when I couldn’t see it. I felt like a failure for a long time and was really hard on myself, but God knew Ellyanna was going to need me, and that she needed to be my first priority in this season of life.
I’ve spent a lot of time praying and thinking about what’s next. Do I shut it all down? Stay on pause? Or slowly step back into selling? The boutique industry has changed so much over the last 11 years, and I’ve been doing a lot of research these past few weeks.
I truly love this community and what we’ve built together, and I would love to sell online again. One idea I’m considering is starting back up with preorder sales(maybe even so kids and tween). This would allow me to offer better pricing that I can pass directly on to you. Orders could be picked up in Florence or shipped—whatever works best for you.
I would really love your honest feedback. You’ve supported me for years, and your opinions truly matter to me. Thank you for sticking with me, loving my family, and giving me so much grace through every season. This isn’t goodbye—just a new chapter 🤍
