Packed!


The bolts of fabric are packed, and shelves are empty.



Display cases, once full of gifts, are bare.



A wall of notions is no more.

I am sore, with bruises all over.

Now, I get to start unpacking it all!

If you don't hear from me again for awhile, I have crawled inside an empty box and am taking a little nap.

Happy Friday!
Happy Weekend!
Happy April!

  4. Dear Jan:
    I know from personal experience just how hard it is to empty out and leave a place that has held your time, energy and heart for so long. There are days I still regret it, as I'm sure you will, but family and health always come first. You'll have a new beginning and have time to mend and play again. That's more important than anything!
    Sending loving hugs from FL,
    xoxo

  5. Letting go of the past is hard sometimes but keep a positive mind on the lord and he will direct your path. I hope you get some much needed rest before you start unpacking. If you are like me, I have to get it all out of the way then I can relax.

    God Bless your day.

  7. It is sad to see the empty store. I know the last few years have been difficult, but I hope moving it to the house will give you some freedom. Wish I were there to give you some help!

  8. Jan,

    God brings us seasons. Keep in your mind and heart, that He (and us) are with you during this time of transition. There is sadness, but also rebirth. This Easter!

  13. Jan, it is sad to see the hard work and dream make such an abrupt change but I have never seen anyone do it with more grace. Thank you for being there for those of us who love what we do. May the days ahead be filled with a renewed spirit for what is ahead. Hugs.
