Having a timeline

Hiii!!! I had to step away for a few days. I needed to gather my thoughts. I spent too much time on my phone, watched a bunch of bad television, baked, stayed up too late, generally practiced escapism through quarantine. I also spent 3 of the last 5 days applying for deferrals, researching loans, waiting on hold, making spreadsheets and trying to get a sense of my current reality. Progress was made. And, the new directive that nothing much will change until the end of April has given me something definitive to work with. A timeline. I can’t change the present. It’s happening to all of us. So, I’ll build a new routine. One sensitive to the over arching uncertainty and inability to plan for the future (read: stress😬). A few hours each day in my shop. Packing orders, making bags, organizing, being alone, reminding myself that I thrive during change and I love dreaming up fantastic futures.

I’ve just reorganized the website so the items we have left IN-STOCK and ready to ship are in one place, that link is in our profile. Tomorrow I’ll open up the rest of the collection for pre-orders. Just know that they will not ship until after I can bring my team back. But, it will mean we all have work to come back to. I’ll leave the LUCKYTHIRTEEN sale code active at the 15% rate. If you want to grab something at that 25% off in stock rate, you can do so through tomorrow with that same code. I’m so full of emotion with the outpouring of love and support you all have shown our small business. You want us to be here after all this is over as much as we do. And, that is the biggest motivator.
Thank you❤️🧡💛🤎🤍🖤💜💚💙 p/s/ I still have a slew of emails to address to all outstanding orders. Keep an eye out in the next few days, and thanks in advance for your patience. Y’all are amazing!
