☔️🌧UPDATE> it's raining today, Sat April 5th 2025. I will still be there, ( prob only 12- 2 ) cleaning out my office and the rest of the store.
I do have some indoor work to help with... but the remainder of the outdoor work will need to be done on a better day. Hopefully April 12 or 19 are better weather days!! 🌞🌞🌞
🔥🔥🔥🔥P.S. I have an awesome rolling workshop bench for sale.... today would be a great day to come and buy it!! See pictures & price in the comments! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
💚🍀💚 It's been quite some time since y'all have had an update on things over here....and I'm afraid it ain't good. 🥺
💔 I'm sorry to say that Sunshine's Yard Supply will not be opening in 2025. I have ceased operations at 5523 Rogers, as my health has declined & I can't commit the energy and time it takes to run a business properly...even with help.
Unfortunately, it's just time to pull the plug. I gave it my all, through 3 years of fighting cancer, fighting to keep the business open, fighting to find the perfect partner... and now, it's time to give 💯 % to ME.
I can't burn both ends any longer.
I'm selfishly keeping the rest of my energy, light and love for life, to myself. In reality, I probably should have done this 2 years ago, but I'm a stubborn dummy. So now this will be my own personal Second Chance.
It was all I could do to get that place where it's at today. It ain't beautiful, and it sure never ended up what I had planned in my head.... all my ideas and hard work never finished. Some things just downright caved in on my head and still, I never gave up....but now I can walk away knowing I gave it everything I have..literally..... 🩸💪😭 + way more 💲💲💲💲 than any reasonable human should have invested.
🙌 I believed in what I was doing there. I really did and so did a lot of you. I felt the love and support. It was definitely my purpose and now I'll struggle to find a new one, but life will take me where it wants me I suppose. I may be broke, sick and disappointed... but I have FAITH, and I know that the Universe will redirect me to someplace awesome again. I've learned plenty of lessons throughout this chapter, that's for sure. You have all made me a better person.
For now, I'll be looking forward to someday soon feeling better... and having myself the 1st carefree summer since I was 15 years old. 🌅
A sincere thank you, to all of you who gave Sunshines a chance....the love... and heartfelt spirit it deserved. We had a great thing going for a bit... please remember it fondly 🫶🫶🫶🫶I know I will. 💚🍀💚

😑 Things with Plants for a Purpose are up in the air right now. My health needs to come 1st. When I figure that out... then I'll figure out PFAP. It shall be in limbo until then. I suggest if you'd like to volunteer somewhere... try The Conor Long Foundation. They do great things over there. Check out their FB page💛
🌼I will be spending the month of April clearing out the store and grounds, and having crazy liquidation sales at the store... feel free to stop by if you see my red truck there, or message me if there's anything you'd like to purchase.
There's lots of plants, succulents, perennials and plenty of random "things"! Fridge...raised garden beds... & other wonderful surprises....
⚠️ I definitely will not be there every single day. I don't have the energy for that. I will try to be there every Sat in April, except the 26th ⚠️
⛅️ I'll be looking for helpers on Sat April 5, 12, 19
(from noon - 3pm)
And maybe a few Saturdays in May.
💘 Thanks everybody. 💘
