🌟COME & SUPPORT ME BEING OPEN🌟

Re-opening Tuesday 10am-2pm and only allowed 5 customers in at one time!!

As you all know, I am unsure what my landlord’s final decision will be this coming week due to lack of rent payment from being shutdown during this second lockdown and not receiving my CRA rent subsidy yet.

So with that all said, I plan to open to make as much money as I can to be able to pay overdue bills/rent until I’m notified to do otherwise. This also includes helping our community in hopes that I can continue to do so!

📌Please share and tell your friends/family to make sure to stop in to support a local small business that’s trying really hard not to close down!

P.S yes I’m taking donations but only clothes and small quantity of quality things. We will be choosy so either ask ahead of time or prepare for us to look before accepting. Thank you!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Hope everyone is keeping well☺️

🚨Important Read🚨

As everyone is aware, I’ve been closed again for the second lockdown of this pandemic since Dec. 26th 2020.

Plain and simple without a long rant:
Bills and rent have now become unattainable. My landlord has threatened to lease my space sooner than later. Yes I have applied for subsidy and everything else that I could. I’ve been waiting on the CRA but apparently their process takes longer than my landlord is wanting to wait.

So, with this said, let’s keep our fingers and toes crossed for things to succeed this week. This has placed a big amount of stress on me as you’s all know I’ve worked hard (along with my volunteers) at building my business to help our community through the year and a half of being open.

I apologize that I haven’t been very active on here lately as I’ve been dealing with the side you’s don’t see to keep the business going.

All I have left to say is that I assure everyone that I will not go down without a fight. I’m not giving up. If I’m forced to close and I have to do better in another area of business, I will!

If you are looking for ways to support me, please pm me as I’d greatly appreciate any little bit of help. Suggestions/advice are welcome too!

✨Most importantly, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. If anyone is struggling mentally throughout this crazy time, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Yes I’ve got a lot going on but it wouldn’t ever be too much to take the time to help someone else if need be!

Together we got this! 🙌🏼

🚨Lockdown Alert🚨

First off I just want to take a minute to hope everyone had a good Christmas and enjoys the rest of the holidays☺️🎄!!

As everyone is aware we are now on LOCKDOWN. Which means my store is once again closed.

BUT... This is what I’m going to continue to do during this time:
- Porch pick up for items that are placed online
- Donation drop off by appt. only (We are not accepting a huge lot of donations nor any bigger items such as furniture nor kitchenware. Clothes, jewellery, accessories, and Nicknacks are welcome. Please assure that they are in good condition as we don’t sell items, even to the less fortunate, that we wouldn’t buy ourselves)
- Also, as mentioned before, I am accepting e-transfer donations to help my store get through this 2nd pandemic shut down. (Yes there will be some type of grants I can apply for I’m sure but it’s not full rent relief and there’s also bills to keep up with. Once I’m opened back up, if it’s anything like last lockdown, things didn’t start picking up for a bit so the donations would also be to help towards re-opening. Because I will be as we got this!!!!)

Do not hesitate to get in touch to see if we’ve got anything in the store that may not be posted online. We will message you back once we’ve got a chance. Lockdown unfortunately doesn’t mean less busy!!

✨Thank you to everyone that has supported me and continuously do so. I greatly appreciate it as, without a doubt, the community does too.

Remember we are all in this together. Don’t forget to support all other small businesses while also including anyone/everyone that may be struggling with anything during all of this!

See you’s all again on the other side of this☺️!!

🌟Accepting E-Transfer Donations🌟
(PM for email if interested)

Quite a few people have reached out stating they want to support me but aren’t in any kind of state to want to leave the house or go into a store. This is perfectly okay and understandable that any of you’s feel as such with this pandemic.

So I’ve offered to accept e-transfers. Also just a reminder that I do do porch pick up for items that I’ve got time to take pictures of and place online!

💥A big thank you for all those supporting me and all other small businesses. We need you’s the most right now!!!
