Happy New Year & Au Revoir!
Hey there, friends! I hope that you’ve all been enjoying an amazing Holiday season and I thought I’d better check in before 2014 bites the dust. I’ve been putting this post off for quite sometime but I don’t imagine, after such a long stretch of radio silence, that you’ll find it as much of a surprise. The time has come for me to say goodbye to this blog and it’s somewhat bitter sweet. Rachel and I started this little web journal over 4 years ago as a creative outlet from our everyday lives as stay-at-home mums and so much has changed since then, most significant being Rachel and her family relocating to Florida to me opening a brick mortar store. I absolutely love writing and sharing inspiration here but my priorities and creative outlets have shifted and there are simply not enough hours in the day. Family comes first, as always, and my passion for design is now channeled into my store, Spruce Collective. Although there are often a lot of not-so-exciting aspects to owning a business, I also get so many chances to feed my creative urges and connect with customers and it’s far more inspiring fulfilling than I could have ever imagined. We’ve got big dreams and plans for the future but as I step forward, I want you to know how incredibly blessed I feel for all of the opportunities this little blog has brought my way. From the dear friendships grown to the markets we would eventually organize (markets where I came to meet my now-partners) and connections made both online and in person, I’m so very thankful for each and every reader that’s taken the time to pop in, read and comment throughout the years. I’m not disappearing off of the Internet or social media, you can find me over at our shop blog as well as on my personal and business Instagram accounts, but without further adieu, Happy New Year, Au Revoir & Thank You for sharing this space called Birch Bird with me <3
