I absolutely did not expect the response to my post on Friday asking for your favourite memories of the shop š„¹ā¤ļø
I genuinely thought people might say a favourite window display, a particular thing theyād bought, a workshop, a funny moment⦠I wasnāt prepared for so many incredibly kind comments about me, the shop, the dogs, the chats, the smells, the little details and the way the place made you feel.
Iāve read every single one and, honestly, some of them completely floored me. After 10 and a half years, when youāre standing in the middle of boxes, mess and absolute exhaustion, itās very easy to forget what you actually created. Your comments reminded me that Everlongart was never just a shop. It became a wee part of peopleās lives, and that means more to me than I can properly put into words. ā¤ļø
Thank you so, so much to everyone who took the time to write something. I will treasure those comments forever.
You might also have noticed that Iāve changed the name of this page now that the shop chapter has officially come to an end. Iāve gone a little radio silent since closing because I think the exhaustion has finally caught up with me š Iām still clearing the last bits and pieces and allowing the dust to settle.
But Iāll be back very, very soon with a proper update about what comes next⦠and I also still have some prints that need new homes, so you definitely havenāt seen the last of me yet šā¤ļø
And I also need to say the biggest thank you to everyone who brought in or sent me cards and gifts. I genuinely did not expect any of it and I was completely blown away by peopleās kindness and generosity. Every single card, gift, bunch of flowers and little gesture meant so much to me, and I honestly felt completely overwhelmed in the loveliest possible way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the end of this chapter feel so incredibly special. ā¤ļø
For now, just a massive THANK YOU. For Fridayās beautiful words, for the last 10 and a half years, and for making that wee shop something Iāll never, ever forget. š„¹ā¤ļø
