This all used to be a dream⦠Both of my parents can tell you that as a kid, I have always wanted my own business.
November 5, 2022 I launched my online boutiqueš¤
It took blood, sweat, tears, late nights, hair pulling, stress, anxiety, and everything else in between. It grew so fast!
You all supported me from day one and even followed me all the way to Bowling Green, Ky. You all had so much patience with me and waited days until I could bring home your packages every weekend!
January 19, 2024 I opened my Brick and Mortarš¤
My online boutique grew so fast that all I could think about was growing into a store. All I wanted to do was add a boutique to my small town⦠something for everyone. I was so nervous but so excited!
I have met some of my best friends in this building. I have cried in this building. I have laughed so hard in this building. I have worried myself sick in this building. I have spent countless late nights in this building. I have used this building as my comfort spot. I have grown in this building. I have held secrets in this building. I have connected with so many people in this building. I have had so many people support me in this building and Iāve had some people who havenāt supported me in this building. This building truly holds a special place in my heart.
January 31, 2025 I am closing my Brick and Mortarš¤
The thought of having to write this post, breaks my heart. I tried for weeks on how to put into words just how thankful I am to be able to say āI did itā. A whole year of running a store. I went back and forth on trying to make the right decision. I have so much guilt⦠but know that whatever comes next, will all fall into place for not only me but for my business! I have started a new career that I am crazy passionate about and iām eager to explore more with that!
I have so many people I want to thank over and over again! My parents have been my saving grace and I truly stand by that. My sweet dad has given me countless words of advise, would come in and just watch me thrive at what I do best, helped me with every step of getting my building ready for me to open up to the public⦠I swear he was more excited than I was! My mom has made sure Iām on top of all my important āadultā things, helped me shop, and has ran the store numerous times to just give me a break. Marjorie Bottom has fed me everyday, held my hand every step, encouraged me on my worst days, and has truly become my best friend. Her boys have helped pack orders, watered my plants, and always remembered to fill my vase with flowersš©· Kerry Vowels Tuell has given me some of the best life advice, hugged me when I needed it most, and never let me give up.
There are so many people I could tag and so many people that deserve a recognition! From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Enough of my rambling⦠Poisoned Peppermint will still be ONLINE! Just because our Brick and Mortar is closing, does not mean we are closing it down completely. We will still offer shipping and local pick up. We will still do pre-orders on our VIP page. If you have a gift card, you can still use it! I will post an update on where my new pickup location will be, so be on the lookout for that. Everything will be just like it used to be before we opened the store.
I am praying that in the near future I can have a opportunity to come back and do this again, but for now this is what is bestš¤
Here are some of my favorite pictures throughout the year. You can literally see the growthāØ
