February Love Notes • If I Owned A Shop

I have always dreamt of owning a store front- filling it with my own creations, creations of others, artisans, farmers and makers alike.

It would be a cozy and inviting space. A space filled with warmth and welcoming and allow one to get transported to another space in their mind, if only for a moment.

It would also be a space where makers could come and teach, learn, collaborate and grow with each other. A place for community.

I think I’d like love to be a part of the creation of that kind of space.

Monday Magic • growth

Happy Monday! I’ve spent all weekend racking my brain and trying to figure out what I can do to better my business. I have been blessed with so much support and such a loyal customer base; however, sometimes I need to step back and acknowledge things that may not be working. When I started this business I was just a young artist. I didn’t know what the future would look like, I just knew that I wanted to create. Somewhere between unfamiliar and resolute I found myself falling deeper and deeper in love with my craft. I found myself falling more in love with this space, this community and YOU! However, if we are being honest, (which we are because I don’t mind being vulnerable) there are some things that I have been putting off because they absolutely terrify me. I’m not afraid of change, I actually think change is so powerful and necessary. I’m not afraid of making mistakes or having to reconstruct my current systems. I’m afraid of losing you. I am afraid of doing something - or not doing something- and then losing the people who have constantly been there for me. 


 If you have met me you know that I am rather upbeat and I LOVE to drink bubbles and chat about everything under the sun. At the end of the day I am human and I have days when my anxiety gets the best of me. I worry about how I am showing up for my clients and my business, how I can hit my deadlines, how I can source new items, etc. You name it and my mind is going a million miles a minute trying to process it. For the last four years I have been running my business all alone and I haven’t really adjusted the systems because … well, I didn’t know what that would look like. I’m here to tell you that I have decided to change up some things behind the scenes because I want to give YOU the best experience possible. I want to provide you with the kind of experience that feels like receiving the biggest hug possible. I want to show you how grateful I am for your support and be extremely intentional about our interaction. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me so far— but it’s time for me to return the favor. This next season I will be working with a team to enhance my customer service and truly provide something real, authentic and quality. From the bottom of my heart, you are so loved by me.
