🪴 dear friends, family, customers and colleagues:
after months of hard conversations with myself & long chats with family/friends, i’ve recently made the tough decision to permanently close Southern Window Plants at the beginning of February.
2021 was an incredibly difficult year for myself and my family. we experienced a huge loss of two important people and are still dealing with those impacts on a daily basis. the accident also brought into focus how special each and every day is to spend with those you love. after our foster kiddo arrived, i feel like have missed out on so much with him as he’s grown. working day-in-and-day-out, 7 days a week for almost 2.5 years, has been a huge toll on both my physical and mental health. i am 100% depleted and drained.
i’d convinced myself that just pushing though all that was normal and necessary. and truly, it can be….so, so, so much time, energy, money, sweat, blood and tears go into operating a small biz. it’s hard to walk away from that, but i’ve realized i’m at a very different point in my personal life compared to when i started Southern Window. my family has grown and with that, my responsibilities and duties.
it’s an odd feeling to decide to shutter the shop after we have had nothing but growing sales numbers since opening. but even that couldn’t supersede what is most important to me. my now husband and baby. i need my weekends back. i need a steady income. i need to be able to truly relax and unwind. i need to see my friends and family regularly.
all that being said, i can’t begin to express how truly thankful i am to every single person who has EVER stopped by. whether you bought a plant, a pot, a watering can or nothing at all, just your presence and interest has kept me going for as long as i have. i’ll miss seeing my regulars and new customers alike. but i’m ready for a change. thank you for everything.
