Well, the time has come. I am in the final pages of this chapter of my life; closing The Koze Pantry. Over the years I usually thank "my family and friends", but I want to single out those people personally, and let them know just what they mean to me ๐ซถ
Matt and Nathan, you two are the most important people to me. You have loved me, and supported my business this entire time, even when things got hard. I'm so happy to start a new chapter together.
Katie, you have been the best part of this journey. You helped in every way possible, and never asked for anything in return.
Sarah and Samii & David, you were my earliest customers. You supported me in ways I could never imagine, and you were always ready to listen and help.
Rachel, I couldn't ask for a better person to help me on this journey. I never felt like I was meant to have a business, and your guidance was invaluable. I would not have continued without you!
Cassie, you have the biggest heart! I had so many ideas, and most were probably crazy ramblings, but you ALWAYS knew just what I needed.
Allie, you, along with Nancy, have become a staple at my events over the last year. I appreciate the two of you consistently showing up for my business.
Megan, you are my sweetest friend, quite literally. Having a friend that lives across the street and loves baking as much as me is a dream come true!
I am wrapping things up behind the scenes, but as of right now someone is buying all remaining products. If things change I will update this post. This page will disappear as soon as all remaining items have been sold.
Lastly, to those STILL asking or suggesting. I AM NOT RETURNING. I'm sorry, but I'm tired of that question or suggestion. I'm not taking a break. I'm not waiting for "things to get better". This business went on longer than it needed to, all because of one comment made about me. Finally I get to do what I want, and not what others expect of me. My husband and I are happy with our life, just the way it is โ๏ธ
