Seventeen years ago today, I opened the doors to Hill Country Consignment, LLC
It’s amazing how things come full circle in this crazy thing we call life!
Seventeen years ago, we were also celebrating the birth of my nephew Weston and Mike’s birthday. And today, exactly 17 years later, I officially signed all the paperwork legally required to close Hill Country Consignment, LLC.
Just like that, the chapter is officially closed on a business that became so much more than just a place of business.
But here’s where the timing gets interesting…
Today, I received a text and photo from a local friend, Sheila Strickland Wray, reminding me of the day she purchased a certain sailor lamp. The photo shows the lamp sitting beside one of her dear friends, who apparently looks like the lamp’s doppelgänger! 😂
I can still remember that day!Donna Wyatt and Brandy Woods and I were standing around giggling, wondering who in the world would ever buy that lamp. And then, in walks Sheila Wray, carrying her bag of tacos, wearing that big ol’ smile, announcing, “I HAVE GOT TO HAVE THIS LAMP!”
And she did! 😂
So, on the very day I officially signed away the business certificate and closed this 17-year chapter, Sheila sends me a reminder of one of the many little moments that made Hill Country Consignment what it was.
Her message was about how much she misses HCC and what it meant to her and to our little community of Wimberley, Texas. And that, right there, is what it was always about!
The people, the friendships, the laughter, the memories, and all the unexpected connections along the way.
Who knew a sailor lamp could bring it all full circle on a day like today?
Always remember, God’s timing is always perfect!Sometimes He has a way of reminding us that even when one chapter closes, the memories and blessings remain.
Seventeen years…
Countless memories. More friendships than I could ever count and a whole lot of life lived in between.
Life is good! ❤️
Love and prayers to all,
