Hello and happy Saturday! You know, \u00a0when I started my business, I ran it more like someone who was in love with creating pretty things for myself that I couldn’t find and then in turn, created them for you! I didn’t approach it necessarily as a “businessperson” and got very very<\/em> sidetracked with creating all kinds of things. From silver to gift wrap, porcelain to melamine, linens to wicker and pretty much everything in between. Yes, there were times it was sensation overload in the best possible way (still often is)<\/p>\n

But fast forward a few years, \u00a0and we are bursting at the seams in our warehouse of almost 15,000 sq feet and finally I was sat down and had to learn that I can’t have it all:) It was the recommendation of someone who knows the biz that I have been consulting with, \u00a0that I scale back on categories and go more “narrow and deep” as its\u00a0 known in this business. In other words focus on the categories that landed us on the map, like porcelains, chin tole, tabletop and wicker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And to \u00a0regretfully (and tearfully for me) phase out of all the “fluff” in between. Linens and then silver were the first casualties. We had aisles and aisles of silver and now are down to one single aisle (though we may bring back a small curated collection for fall\/winter of our best sellers) and as of yesterday all silver is now 40% off (details on bottom) As far as the linens- \u00a0we had dozens of shelves of beautiful linens and its now reduced to one small shelf of what little is left. It was\/is \u00a0like saying goodbye to a great friend, but I know these are the right decisions. When you create from the heart, it makes it a little harder to say goodbye:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And now, one more casualty is on the way out, my beloved giftwrap. I created the gift wrap because I love<\/em> wrapping gifts and was often so underwhelmed by the gift wrap options out there. I wanted beautiful papers, chinoiserie, blue and white, flowers,…etc…and that’s what I created! It was a big hit.<\/p>\n

Over the years however, giftware fell to the wayside as we \u00a0focused more on the crux of our business (porcelain, chinoiserie, wicker, etc…) and gift wrap was somewhat put in the corner. \u00a0Those who bought it were almost always repeat customers as its that good<\/em> but many don’t even know we have gift wrap! And truth is I know that the gift wrap wold have been wildly popular had that been our only business<\/em> but its gotten lost in a sea of many other categories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So its with great sadness that we are discontinuing our gift wrap. Not to say it will never come back again in some shape or form but for the foreseeable future, we are not going to continue on with the gift wrap. When we order \u00a0a pattern, we have to order over 3,o00 rolls of EACH PATTERN. That’s a lot of gift wrap! \u00a0The minimums are HUGE.<\/p>\n

So, we have a good selection left of our every day papers as well as some incredible holiday patterns. Many are reversible which makes these unique and I always said as pretty to open as they are to receive! These are super high quality and truly the prettiest papers I have seen out there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let’s go down memory lane and take a look at some of our beautifully wrapped gifts…….<\/p>\n
