The end of this chapter
Dear Tiny Friends,
After many months, hard conversations, analyzations and reflections I have made the very tough decision to close my store. I am heartbroken but also at peace with my decision. When I started this business 6 years ago I was online only and only had one child…..Fast forward to opening my storefront 4 years ago, my children were 1 and 4 and we were in a much different phase of life than we are now. I had way more time and much less stress. Being a small business owner requires so much attention, tenacity, grit, ingenuity, passion and time. I am in a phase of life where all of these qualities in me need to be dedicated to my family and my family only. I am simply spread too thin and need to make a change. The store is no longer working for me in this season of life. I want more time to focus on my children. As you know, I am an autism mom, this adds many many layers to this journey of parenthood. I am intuitive and reflective enough to know when I need to change something. I have adored meeting all of my customers. Many have turned into cherished friends. The connections I have made have been the best part. My “tiny crew” aka my girls who help at the shop mean the absolute world to me. I have experienced so much joy bringing a need to our community. It has been truly so much fun. I have loved helping you guys pick out that perfect baby shower gift, first birthday present or just because item. It really is so joyful. I am proud that I built a space that brings joy to others. I have been told this time and time again and it just means so much to hear those words. I have also loved bringing my little slice of happy to Jamestown. I adore Jamestown. I am sad but confident in my choice. Please stay tuned for details on close out sales, which will start immediately, and reach out to me with any questions. We will close August 1st.
All my love,
Dena Vann
