This is a bittersweet message to write… but I’ve been pretty quiet on here for a while as I worked through the decision to wind down BabyBird.
BabyBird was my self care during a really difficult period of transition in my life and gave me a creative outlet that was so incredibly important.
BabyBird also introduced me to and serendipitously now as I sit here as the owner of UIW, I am eternally grateful for the stepping stone that BabyBird and most importantly all of you had afforded me.
Without the support at markets, retail shops, workshops, the friends and fellow artisans I met along the way-- I would not have had this little BabyBird and the joy and confidence that you gave me when I needed it most.
Small business truly is the backbone of this country- what began as a little hobby in my basement, became a little dream and eventually became a reality.
In the craziness of the world today, please remember-where you choose to spend your money matters, it’s your power and your voice. Every dollar you spend with a small business…. It can change the course of someone’s life.
Thank you again for all of your support- and tell your engaged friends to come hang with me at Upstate Indie Weddings ❤️
-Xo
Heather
