it’s so easy to look at people’s tiny squares on Instagram and be envious of what they have. especially running a small biz, it can seem like everyone’s got it all figured out, when that’s so far from the truth! instead of a #fridayintroduction I’m doing #fridayfailure and telling you this lil story 📖🙂
.
at one point I approached a store thinking it would be the perfect place to sell small bouquets. I was over the moon when the shop owner said yes! I got the flowers, arranged them and tied them up cute and excitedly delivered them in the morning before heading to my full time job 😅 .
when I walked into the shop, the owner approached me with a concerned look on her face, “oh, I thought they were going to be all different colors and varieties like you get at the grocery store.” my heart immediately sank knowing she wasn’t pleased, and I explained to her that these were local flowers and that I can’t buy in bulk like big chain stores do. I did my best to set them up and make the table look perfect. as I was leaving, a woman walked up, “ohh those are beautiful!” .... “I can’t believe how realistic they can make fake flowers look these days!” 🤦🏻‍♀️ not a good sign
.
a few days later I emailed the owner to see how the bouquets were selling and if I needed to restock. she emailed back saying “hey Liz, they aren’t selling. not one has sold.” I was crushed, embarrassed, annoyed. I went to the shop to pick up the bouquets like a dog with my tail between my legs.
.
It took me a good night of crying and probably a week before I got over the embarrassment and could see it for what it was: a lesson. I learned what didn’t work. I learned who my clientele WASN’T. I learned that I can ask for opportunities and get them.
.
there are lots more failures where this came from and I’ll share more another time 😁 but let’s celebrate failures for what they are: really good lessons 🎉

looking back at pics from when @theericmally and I took this gate at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial from gorgeous to even ~more~ gorgeous by adding greenery and roses that should 💯 be there all the time ✨ .

at first I absolutely hated all the beige that they painted in EVERY room, but I’m kind of liking the warm, serene, monochromatic vibe in the dining room now ✨ also v happy we didn’t end up painting the wood paneling in the sunroom ☺️

I’ve traded flowering for nesting the past few weeks 🏡 our home was flipped before we bought it, but I’m happy they left a lot of the original pieces like the bathroom tile and sink in this powder room. it’s a little trickier to work with the funky colors and patterns, but much more charming, don’t ya think?
