At 4:00, we locked the front door, said “that’s a wrap”, gave a high five, and kissed. I thought I was going to cry, and although I did get teary eyed, no tears fell.
It was/is definitely a bitter sweet thing. To close the doors to the public, is certainly not something we had ever planned to do, but felt led that this was the path we needed to take.
It’s bitter because we will miss the daily interaction with you fine folks of vermilion (and beyond). We have met many great people, and for that we will be forever grateful.
It’s sweet because we will no longer be stressed with some of the financial burden that comes with having a retail store. Sweet, because we will not be obligated to hours and sweet because we will be able to put 100% of our time and effort into our online business.
We would like to take this time to thank our family and friends. You guys are the best. Your support, help, and prayers have meant the world.
Thank you to our faithful customers. We loved meeting you, hearing your stories, and seeing your pictures of the beautiful lights you created with our parts and supplies. It certainly has been fun!
We look forward to this next phase of our business. We will be working solely as a family -Tim,Nathan, Kylie, and I— 😬🤷🏼♀️Lol (I hope we don’t get too sick of each other!)😂 Concentrating on filling our online orders and designing and custom making really cool lighting.
If you ever want a custom built light, just call us and set up an appointment. We are still very much open for business in that way!!
