It is READY! It is finally ready!
The Spring Collection is here and it is really special. You all have been watching the Butterfly come together now for a very long time! I am so happy with the way it turned out. From the street, it looks like an explosion of vibrant color that is sure to bring a smile to everyones faces!
Long story, Longer…
My wonderful printing partner met me yesterday to deliver the samples and I did a happy dance in the gas station parking lot. We reviewed a few options for each sample and made some final decisions all while Jackson napped in the back seat. A wave of relief washed over me as I took a moment to eat my Chick-fil-a Cobb salad in the quiet calm of patience and perseverance paying off. Delays and set backs caused us to slow down, take a breath, remember what is most important… accept the things we cannot change and move on in the right direction.
My sister shared this quote with me, “Desperation can make a RED flag turn YELLOW.” Often times we want things to happen on a predetermined timeline. The stress and pressure of things not going according to plan can be crippling.
The lesson I learned through this experience is:
My true Cheerleaders will be OK with the delay and happy when the collection is ready.
In general people just want clear communication and honesty.
Setting expectations is important; being flexible with said expectations is key.
And the winner is… MELISSA!
A few weeks ago I asked my cheerleaders to post pictures of their Door Charms, share to Instagram and tag me. Thank you to everyone who took a moment to snap a quick picture! Additional entries were awarded for stories and reels! You all really are the best influencers and I appreciate you sharing so very much!
Congratulations Melissa! You have won the drawing for the Spring Butterfly Door Charm!
