I wanted to take a moment to share something that hasn’t been easy to put into words. After a lot of thought and many emotions, I’ve decided to close my booth at the end of this month.
My Prickley Pear booth has been such a huge part of my life for the last seven years. It’s been a place where I poured my heart into creating cozy homes, meaningful gifts, and little moments of comfort. What started as a creative outlet became something so much bigger, connections, friendships, conversations, encouragement, and so much joy. I am beyond grateful for every person who stopped, shopped, shared kind words, and supported this little dream.
This past year has been incredibly heavy. Losing my mum changed me in ways I’m still learning to understand. We had lots of family visiting from Ireland, a cancer scare, the girls starting a new chapter and getting their own place, and then I fell down the stairs and was forced to slow down physically too. It felt like one thing after another, and honestly, it was a year that asked more of me than I had to give at times.
This isn’t a goodbye to Prickley Pear just a pause. A deep breath. A moment to slow down and listen to what my heart and body need right now. I’ve always believed in giving 100% to everything I do, and with working full time and juggling other commitments, I realized I couldn’t keep showing up in the way I want to without burning myself out. This decision comes from a place of honesty and care, not loss of love.
I also want to take a moment to say how important supporting local businesses truly is. This has been a hard year for so many small business owners, and every purchase, every share, and every kind word really matters more than you know.
With that said, everything in my booth is now 25% off. Please come shop, support, and help me not bring everything home. my house (and my heart) are already very full 🤍.
Thank you for walking this journey with me, for showing up over the years, and for loving my Prickley Pear booth so well. Whatever comes next, I’ll carry all of this with me always.
With so much love and gratitude,
Sharon 💛
