Important Update
Have you ever wished you could look into a crystal ball and know exactly what life was going to hand you? Sometimes even if when we are expecting something, it can still knock us down. Or...when an event happens that you are least expecting, it can knock us farther down and it just takes a little longer to get back up.
Losing my dad has knocked me way down. He was made of steel, the most amazing miracle, and by far the best Christmas gift in December of 2022. I know I've mentioned this before, but he was a HUGE asset to Polka Dotted Dresser. Since his passing, even walking through the doors of the store has been painful. I'm constantly looking for him to be crossing the street and checking in with me for the day. Most days it's almost unbearable for me to be behind the checkout. The journey of grief is much harder, and longer than I anticipated.
On the flip side of this...losing a loved one that is very much involved in your life gives you an entirely new perspective of life. Just how precious our short time on earth is. It can teach us to stop taking friendships for granted, appreciate the good, and get rid of the bad. In my case, it has turned my point of focus to my family. My 10 year old (today) daughter that has at least 8 more short year's a home, my precious (almost) 10 month old baby that is an absolute blessing in every way possible, and my husband who puts up with me daily 😬
After months of going back and forth and trying to decide what is best for me at this moment in time, I've decided it's time to close the doors, and simply enjoy life. I have so much to be grateful for. Especially all of you!
A thank you for your support deserves it's own post. ❤️
This doesn't have to be a sad goodbye, but more of a farewell party! 🥳
Stop in tomorrow (Sunday) 8-1 and buy alllll of the things at 60% off. Get a head start on your Christmas shopping!
Due to a last minute change in plans, my exit strategy is a little faster than I had planned. Stay tuned!
