Hey guys... Hailey here. I have some news.
I have closed the storefront to the public, for now.
I think it's most important to first shout out the people who showed TF up for me. Every purchase, compliment, kind word or return visit kept me going. I wish there had been more of you. If there had been, I probably wouldn't be making this post at all.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU so much ❤️
Unfortunately, with all the good, we also need to address the bad and the downright ugly side of owning a public facing business.
I expected sleepless nights, exhaustion and sales lulls. This I can deal with.
What I can't—and shouldn't have to—deal with is theft, being taken advantage of, concerns for my safety, cleaning human s #!t from my entryway, haggling, nasty comments, business advice that I never asked for, and slow days that turn into weeks that turn into months. All while trying to keep up with the rising costs that come along with a brick and mortar store.
I genuinely can't sustain this business model any longer.
The juice needs to be worth the squeeze.
I feel like the Titanic. I see the iceberg. It looks like debt, burnout and complete collapse.
I know that I have two options: full steam ahead, keep doing what I'm doing and hit it head on OR turn that wheel like my livelihood depends on it. I'd be crazy not to take the latter option, right?
Some of you know, I named this business after the thing I love most in life—my daughter. So believe me, there ain't no way I'm letting this ship sink.
The good news is, I'm not going anywhere. This is a pivot, not a goodbye.
Yes, my doors are locked, but you can still shop with me online. I don't know what the future holds just yet. Maybe pop-up sales? Markets? A website of my own? Who knows!
That's the beauty of winging this whole boss lady thing 😂
In the words of David Bowie, “I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.”
If you choose to stick along for the ride, you're a real one ✌️🍋
P.S. If this post made you sad, go out and support a small business!
