I have been considering my future for some time
now. Personal health and family are my
priorities in this life. After the past
few amazing and successful years I have decided to close this chapter. I will never regret the lessons I have
learned and those friendships and connections made. Antiques are my passion and obsession, it’s
been fun learning that so many of you share my enthusiasm. I have had three successful summers; and as
my business kept expanding I came to a fork in the road.
I had a humbling experience in 2013 as I was
diagnosed with Lupus. This never stopped
me from pursuing my passion, but it taught me to focus on what matters most
while not stretching myself too thin. Odds
and Ends continues to need of my daily efforts and attention, without I will not be able to
keep up with our growth. I love this
company and have put blood, sweat, and tears into my passion for antiques. But, I also have found myself this year and realized I want
to further my education and have a family.
I am not giving up, I am not quitting. I am stepping back to see what I have
accomplished and close the door on a successful chapter of my life. This is a new beginning for me. I look ahead excited, for when one door
closes another opens. In the end I hope
you all understand. I appreciate every
opportunity I have been given and all the memories I have made. I had the opportunity to work with countless
creative, hardworking individuals and companies. To you I am grateful.
When I wrap up an event, I always wish my clients a
happy life ahead. I never want to leave
without saying goodbye and letting them know I appreciate their business. So here is to all of you I have had the
opportunity to work with: brides, mothers, photographers, decorators, and everyone
in between. I wish you the best in all
your future endeavors, as I hope you would do the same for me. Odds and Ends is closing its doors on a fulfilled
and accomplished note. It has been an
honor to start up my own company and see it grow. Thank you to all. I look forward to my new beginning and what
lies ahead.
Yours Truly One More Time… -J
