✨ A Heartfelt Update ✨
I want to take a moment to share something very personal with all of you who have supported me and my little business. Recently, my family received some heartbreaking news—a parent of mine has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. As many of you would understand, this has turned our world upside down, and I have now stepped into the role of their carer. It has been one of the most overwhelming and emotional experiences of my life, balancing the demands of caring for a loved one while also trying to keep my small business running.💛
Because of this, my turnaround times for orders have slowed down (currently around 1–3 weeks). I’ve felt a lot of guilt about not being able to work at the same pace as before, especially knowing how much I value each and every one of you who places an order with me. But I want to reassure you—every single order is still being made and packed with the same amount of love, detail, and care that it always has been🩷. It just may take me a little longer right now as I find my footing in this new chapter. If you ever need an update on your order, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll always do my best to respond, even if a little slower than usual.
In times like these, I’ve come to appreciate more than ever the kindness and patience of others—it has helped more than you know🩵. I know that many people are feeling the weight of the world financially and emotionally at the moment, and it makes your support of my small business even more meaningful. Every purchase, every message of encouragement, and every bit of understanding you’ve shown helps me keep going—not only as a small business owner but as a daughter/sibling/family member doing my best to stay strong for the person I love.
Although this is one of the hardest journeys my family has faced, I’m holding onto hope, love, and the incredible support around me to guide us through.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for walking alongside me through this. Your compassion and support mean more than I could ever put into words. 💕
With love and gratitude,
