Chapter ONE Boutique

19/03/2023

This is a hard post to write.. but I’m sure many saw it coming!

This past year has been the hardest year of my life. With many downfalls. Many challenges both in business and my personal life. After almost a year of taking care of our Dad, and then losing him, It’s been hard to get back into the grove of things. I haven’t been back in the shop properly in months. In the mean time, we still have overheads, staff etc to pay. It’s been more stress than anything. I have found it super hard to put any love into Chapter One Boutique in recent months. I have not had the mental capacity at all. Every Sunday I’ve thought, this is the week and then anxiety hits and I can’t even drag my butt into the shop. I’ve avoided all my social media accounts. I’ve been lucky enough to have my sister in-law to hold the doors open, but there’s only so much she can do as well.

So I have come to the conclusion to close our doors. I have not yet decided if this will be temporary or for good. But we will be moving out of our premises in the mean time. It breaks my heart! But it’s what is best for me and my little family and this business for right now 🥺

As of today, the shop is CLOSED. I will put up an online SALE once everything is home and accounted for and we are settled in again.

Thank you to everyone for all of your support over the last 4 years. It means the most! I have loved meeting you all and gaining regular customers who have become friends!

All my love, Jacinda ♥️

Good morning x

It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here. And since our shop was open x

Last week after a fierce battle with leukaemia, we lost our Dad/Koro 🕊️

It’s been the hardest week, month, year of my/our life. We are currently trying to get back into routine with our new normal. Its going to take a little bit while we navigate through grief.

The shop will be open tomorrow for the first time in two weeks. 9:30am-3:30pm 🤍

Thank you, have a good day!

It’s been so long since I’ve been able to spend a full day in our space - I’ve missed it so much! 🤍

Someone very close to me is battling the Big C. Thats been above everything. We’ve attended 4 tangi for whānau in the last two months. I’ve spent almost a week in court recently for historical stuff (I was the good guy, promise lol) We’ve become a household of 11 🫣 as well as everything in between for everyday life! It’s been a year! 🫠

As we start to move past everything though, My feet are firmly in the ground of Chapter One. Let’s get this show on the road again! 🌱

Grateful for my small team holding me up and pushing me through 😘

We’re ready for 2023 🤌🏼
