Howdy stranger. . . it's been awhile, hasn't it?!

I have a few things I want to chat with you about.

Summer is a sacred time for me and my family. As my kids get older (they are 15 and 12 now!), I see how fleeting these moments and memories are. With my husband home from teaching in the summers, I cherish the long, lazy, sun-filled days so much. I've been offline a lot this summer - focusing on family and trying my best to be present.

But that's not the only reason I've been absent.

As I've shared with you in the past, I'm struggling with finding quality inventory at AFFORDABLE prices for you. You've seen this shift over the last year as I've focused more on secondhand/vintage items - because I feel so passionately about VALUE and I believe there is great value in quality, secondhand goods. It's good for your budget, good for the earth and makes me feel good.

Wholesale clothing prices are getting ridiculous - which means my retail prices end up being far more than I want to charge.
As I've shared before - I can't justify charging you $35-$50 for a shirt or dress I know you can get for a fraction of the price at a thrift shop or consignment shop.

Personally - as a family, we buy 90% of our clothing items used - at thrift shops. We just did nearly all our back-to-school shopping at thrift shops and paid a fraction of what we would have at the mall or online. Brand names and in great shape - for a FRACTION of the retail price.

Plus the environmental impact of all this NEW, fast fashion stuff weighs on my mind and conscience. It just doesn't align with my values and I struggle with the need to generate income (I still need to work!) and doing it in a way that makes me feel like I'm serving you in a way that doesn't just benefit me, you know?

Now more than ever I think AFFORDABILITY IS A SCARCITY. Whether it's the grocery store, gas station, post office, or clothing boutiques - I know my dollars aren't going as far. What can I do about that?

But with everything in this world, it's a balance - isn't it?
* A balance with family time/work time
* A balance of used/new
* A balance of budgeting
* A balance of priorities

My kids go back to school September 7. I plan to spend September/October sorting out what I want Ramona Rose Co to look like.

Things I'm considering . . .
* Etsy shop for vintage items
* Occasional takeovers of other boutique spaces to offer you new clothing and accessories
* The occasional vintage live - but mostly wall drops and online sales
* Considering carrying secondhand clothing again.
* Focusing 90% my efforts on QueenBeeToday.com where I can find rock-bottom prices on new stuff. On a daily basis I can find shoes, accessories, food, toiletries for a FRACTION of the price I could source them - shipped FREE - from Amazon or other retailers. I make a TINY commission from posting these deals (a fraction of the earnings if I sold them in my own retail shop), but I feel better about recommending something I'd personally buy versus just selling something just to be profitable.

I'll be 42 years old in a couple weeks and the older I get, the more I believe that you must follow your heart and when you can do a job that serves others (while also aligning with your values), it's a true gift. I'm grateful you trust me enough to be that for you. I'm grateful that you're patient with me as I navigate these days of rising costs and the need to find value when it's harder than ever to find.

What would YOU like to see in my shop? Where do you see gaps in the retail boutique world? How can I add value to your life and to this community?

Much love to you and yours. I miss our chats, I miss the community aspect. I hope you are well.

With my utmost gratitude and love,
Heather Bidwell-Clarke
