♥️TODAY’S THE DAY Y’ALL. We’ll be open to the public today, Saturday, June 20, 2026 from 12:00-5:00. I’ll CLOSE our signature pink door for the last time.
While this decision was gut-wrenching, it feels like relief too. Nothing is ever black and white. While I LOVED bringing an idea to reality, I did not enjoy the stress of keeping a brick and mortar operation running. As you may know, I am a Realtor, (I always tell people that’s my “real job”). I found running the shop WAY more stressful than even the toughest real estate transaction I’ve ever handled.
Sure, leaving my space is sad. After all, I remodeled it before I opened, but the part that hurts is saying farewell, (for now), to all of our lovely regular customers. Before opening my shop, I often felt like an outsider as a sensitive person who prefers to talk about plants, gardening and interior design. Meeting so many kindred spirits of all ages, many who I consider friends now, has made me feel seen and accepted.
This video by totally expresses how I feel about the ending of this era. My heart is truly at peace about the end of this season of my life. I am proud of what we built. I view it as a box checked on my long list of dreams.
I’m taking a brief vacation to listen to some ocean waves and soothe my soul. I’m hoping to return home feeling rested, energized and inspired for my next adventure. Please continue following to see where life takes me next, (it will definitely include plants).
If I don’t get to see you before closing my pretty little plant and gift shop today, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING Y’ALL. I LOVE YOU BELOVEDS.
XOXO, Tanya ♥️🍒
