Writing this post with the heaviest eyes and the fullest heart in my bed after a whirlwind last day followed immediately by a whirlwind of packing. We move out tomorrow so I will write a longer goodbye-for-now post after that! 😴

For now, I need to say a huge thank you! Today was unreal. The shop was packed with people for almost the full three hours. The energy was bustling and hopeful. It was our biggest sales ever by far. And beyond that, so many of you told me stories of what the place has meant to you or shared the most beautiful encouraging words. You know who you all are - please know I will carry your words with me forever. 💗

Thank you for showing up big time today. I’ll say more soon, but for now I must sleep before we go hard again tomorrow. Grateful for each and everyone of you. 🙏🏻

A reminder about tomorrow!! Please come by (even if you don’t buy anything) to send off this space. 💫

I have to be out by the end of the 5th and I’ve been sick this week so I am hella behind which means I am gonna be extra motivated to mark things down and get things outta here! 😂

Can’t wait for the flurry of tomorrow. I already know I’m gonna remember it forever. 🥰

🌸 End of an era. After being stuck waiting for the last few months, things finally shifted in the last week! I made a deal to break my lease and have to be out by January 5th. (There is no new tenant lined up for those curious!) Which means, I am gonna be packing and moving out real quick.

👋🏻 There will be two last windows to say goodbye and help clear what we have left out! This Saturday and next. From 12pm to 3pm. Everything must go so if you’ve ever eyed our cute little brass unicorns, etc., it’s all for sale!

⭐️ There is zero obligation to buy something if you come by! I would looove all forms of goodbyes and last visits in the space. So please don’t feel like you can’t stop in if you’re not in a place to shop right now.

😮‍💨 After the 5th, everything is paused! I will be resting, going to job interviews, etc. I have been working nonstop without a real break for a very very long time now, way beyond even the start of Willow. In the last decade, I’ve started two businesses, had two babies, gone through a divorce, a pandemic, etc etc. All without much breathing room between. With the closing of the storefront, I am going to disappear for a bit and take a much overdue reset.

🦋 And from the place of rest, Willow will have its new beginning. But more on that when I’m ready.

📦 For now, it’s final push time. If you have outstanding orders or questions or anything, chances are you’re on my list for all the last minute things this week. But please feel free to check in if you’re worried or not sure!

💗 See you tomorrow or next Saturday! Love you and appreciate you all endlessly.
