to simplify . . . and closing my space at Embellish . . .

to simplify . . .

I so like this idea . . . to keep things simple . . .

 

 

but anyone who knows me . . . 

knows that this is extremely hard for me to do . . . 

as I like to layer . . . :)

My mind races around with all sorts of ideas . . .

from fabric . . . to art,  to vintage,  to color,  to fashion . . . etc . . .

yes . . . we do have dinner as a family

at the table every night . . . right next to some new project 

piled high at the other end . . . 

but sometimes when you mix family with one of the above

you hit a home run . . . memories that you never expected . . .

like the time we had this past summer as a family

at the Barn House . . .

quite simply - the best memory of the summer!!

 

but . . . sometimes one can have too much on their plate 

and life is not at all simple!!

I discovered this was the case this last Summer as it flew past 

and the kids started school again!

I decided to make a few changes . . . to my blog . . . 

to the number of vintage shows for next year . . . 

to my retail space at Embellish . . . 

so . . . 

although it is extremely clear to me that this is the right thing to do . . .

it is also extremely hard for me to let you know that . . .

I have decided to close my space at Embellish. 

(this was not an easy decision to make - as I absolutely LOVE being there!!!) 

Katrina, and the girls have all been so amazing and I have truly felt blessed 

each and every day that I have been part of her wonderful and very special store 

here on Bainbridge Island!!!

my last day is tomorrow - Sunday - Oct. 3rd.

I am going there today to mark things way, way, way down 

as I am hoping not to have to store them!!) 

I will sooooo miss being there . . . 

but I do know that it is the right decision for myself and my family at this time

(Katrina did say that I can come back . . . so you just never know!!!)  :) 

If you haven't been to Embellish lately . . . you should really stop in . . .

as Katrina has been bringing in lots of great new merchandise into the store!!!

and soon . . . she is going to have a new blog - I personally can't wait!! (and yes . . . we are waiting on those wedding pictures!!)

Katrina . . . "Thank you" my dear friend . . . from the bottom of my heart!!
