Owning and running a small business is not for the weak at heart! Often times, I've wondered: "What the hell have I done?" and within 10 minutes, Ya'll show up and remind me why I do it! It's YOU...
I would like to take a special moment and thank my husband: Chris. You've listened to me cry, worry, laugh, complain, be so tired I can't even speak a clear sentence or think 'straight' yet never said a word to me for online shopping to 'unwind'. Plus you've watched me give it my all yet still encouraged and stood behind me and let me shine! You're My First, My Last, My Everything! - by Barry White (Our Wedding song!)
Thank you to my friend: Donna Farrow for her mentorship and continuous support of my dream shop. She has always made time for me to call her and cry, curse, and scream plus listen to shouts of happiness! She's always said to me: "It's YOUR shop, You can do whatever you want". She's always tells me how proud she is of me and encourages me when I am down and my anxiety is off the charts! She is truly a gem of a Friend! I am thankful for you Donna!
