It is not completely over—and I am sure I will hear a few "I told you so's" or that I gave up too quickly—but this weekend, I will be gathering things in the shop and adding them to destashing groups.
Really, no one knows just how much time and heart I have put into this business. While I have only had the physical shop for a few months, the business itself has been around for much longer.
To be completely transparent, I have been feeling quite discouraged these last few weeks. I have worked incredibly hard to build what I have, but lately, things just aren't going the way I had hoped and planned. I get that times are rough for everyone right now, but I have to think about myself and my kiddos' long-term future, too. Right now, I am sinking more money into this than I am turning around. In the end, it’s causing me to feel the need to work constantly, which completely defeats the goal of why I started this to begin with.
I always said I wouldn’t give up, and I am trying my hardest not to, but I think it is time for me to start thinking a bit more realistically about the path forward.
I hope everyone understands this is not an easy choice, and I pray you know just what every little ounce of support has meant to me. It is truly what has kept me going. Thank you all for being here through the highs and the lows.
