Hi friends, it’s been awhile! Six months to the day, to be exact. I really didn’t plan to step away for this long, but once I made the announcement to close our shop for awhile, the winds of change blew in hard and we were swept away by the bittersweet work of farewells and home sales and packing up our lives to start over in a new state. Nothing can quite prepare you for turning your life upside down this way.
The good news is that we are here, in Wisconsin! We arrived just before the end of summer, welcomed by family eager to have us back within arms reach. What a lovely feeling. We made it!
Now that the dust is settling, it’s time for me to face a difficult reality. Baby JackByrd, this little shop I’ve loved and tended to for the past seven years, doesn’t quite fit the same way in my life as it once did. I’m ready to get back out into the working world outside the walls of my home; meet new faces, explore new passions. You might even say that my happiness depends on it.
And so, it’s bittersweet when I tell you that I am closing my online shop. I’ll miss the work, I’ll miss sharing with all of you here in this space, but mostly I’ll miss my customers. This shop, my customers—you, have been an anchor for me through the wild years of raising littles. Thank you for the past seven years. Much love to you all. 💛
