I haven't even allowed myself to look at this page in months because I've been afraid of making the announcement.
Hillside Flowers is officially closed permanently.
This business has always been a "side hustle" .. a place for me to continue creating and a way for me to provide a micro business option in the area for flowers for all occasions. Although it wasn't my only source of income or my only occupation, it was a thing I poured my heart and soul into.
I lost my "real" job a few months ago at the hands of a few individuals who felt local cliques were far more important than my livelihood. As a result, I uprooted my family to find another job. But God is good, and I found the ultimate career in a place I believe is perfect for my family.
Unfortunately that meant that we had to leave Hillside Flowers behind.
I hope one day I'll be able to reopen another similar business where we live now, but it isn't currently part of our plan.
I want to thank everyone who supported me in this little adventure of mine, but this will have to be the end of this story.
My most heartfelt thanks go out to you all, truly.
