This isn’t a glamorous picture, but I figured you guys needed to see the not-so-glamorous side of this life, too.
We’ve had 3 large shows in 4 weeks, deliveries that haven’t been unpacked, display fixtures that don’t have a home, and overflow from production that has made its way into our shoppable space. Unfortunately, our production area just isn’t big enough for us anymore, and all of that has turned into… well, this chaos.
All of that to say, it’s going to take me through this weekend just to get this space cleaned up and put back together. After that, we’re jumping straight into prepping for Pumpkins & Pages, and then it’s on to Christmas!
So, the ONLY day we’ll be open before Small Town Christmas is October 24th for Pumpkins & Pages.
I’m so sorry. Sometimes I feel like I just can’t get it all done on my own, and honestly, that’s probably true. I’m always learning, growing, and figuring out how to make this little business work better. My hope is that by next fall, we’ll have a better handle on keeping the store stocked while doing these big events. Hopefully my ADHD turns into a little bit of OCD and I can magically keep my chaos more organized by then 🙃
Running this business isn’t always pretty, and as a one woman show, with help of volunteers, some weeks our schedule just doesn’t go quite the way I want it to. Lately, that has been happening a lot more often than I want it to over here.
As always, I love you. I appreciate you. And I am forever thankful for you.
