Hello, Ladies! I hope this post finds you well. Today was a big day for Sally Fabulous, but not in the way of progress. Many of you know that I have been waffling about my next move and all signs were pointing to my making the decision to officially put it to rest. SO many reasons. Insanely marked up wholesale costs since the pandemic, poor quality from previous SF favorite lines, bottom line profits (not much, hard to move product in a couple days), and while I went into this adventure honoring Mom Mary, I feel that at this time I just don't have the fire in me (since the pandemic). I was able to move all my inventory with the sale I had last summer. I have been watching my business checking account drop with fees for non-activity and Square charges for a service I haven't used, and found myself at the bank this rainy day closing the account. As I type this the tears are flowing, both happy and sad. It has been an absolutely lovely and gratifying journey. Many of you have become not just clients, but friends. So many connections due to Mom Mary🦋. Shared losses 💔and stories that I will hold in my heart forever. I am forever grateful. I have many beautiful memories to share, but one is standing out. My dear friend Cam passed away just over a month ago. Her daughter Maddie reminded me of one of the pop ups where I was selling the F CANCER rings. Cam was deep into her cancer battle and the joy that filled my heart when she came through the gate holding her grand daughter Ellie's hand all ready to shop Sally Fabulous will be with me forever. The funniest part was little Ellie loading up her fingers with the F Cancer rings!!! Those moments...wow. Will I have a change of heart? Will I look to do something else with the Sally Fabulous brand? Not anytime soon. More tears flowing...thank you to all of the amazing women who supported and loved me through it all. Too many to name. I hope you know who you are... Love all of you. Sally ❤️😘🦋
