Its heart-warming the amount of support, prayers, and condolences we have received from family and friends both personal and business. With everything happening at once it's been overwhelming, but I will be putting together a celebration of her life very soon. Love, thanks, and appreciation to all.

Julie Marie Ackley-Bogdanski, 54, passed away peacefully March 11, 2024 following a rapid illness. Born May 18, 1969 to Lawrence and Delores Ackley,

I've been keeping a bit of a secret.. (kind of, I have shared this with a few of you)

You know that us entrepreneurs are well known as dreamers and we are completely fine with that. While some folks say we have our head in the clouds, some of our dreams have led many of us to start businesses that exceeded even our own expectations. Myself included 😊

I recently heard another small business owner say that we dream big and cast wide nets. This statement resonates with me so much more than you know. Even with 11 years in business we're still dreaming of bigger things to come.

Folks, I have so many ideas and plans for growth for the new year and I could really use all of the positive thoughts, vibes and prayers for things to pan out. I am so grateful for all of you and believe in positive thoughts bringing positive results. So if you wouldn't mind sending all of the positive energy for now, we would greatly appreciate it 💜

We are shooting for the stars in 2024 and one of our goals is to open a storefront. I have talked with so many people-vendors, people at the MEDC, Macomb County Planning & Economic Development, and more. I have a five subject notebook that i have filled with notes.

My plan is to move my embroidery business out of our home and into the store. I also have a plan to bring in very specific vendors who offer items that are not available in our area. We'll discuss this more as we get closer to opening but I am certain that you will like everything that I've been planning 😊

I am going to thank you all in advance. It is because of you that I am here and I couldn't be more grateful for you 😘

Well, it looks like our first market of the season won't be until May, the day before Mother's day to be exact. We're going to skip March and April while I work on getting back to 100% with my health (or at least as close as I can get, anyway)

Right now we are signed up for these 6 markets. As the summer gets closer, I'm sure we'll add a few others to the mix.

We cannot wait to get back out there and see you all! I'm so ready to create some new items for this year, it's going to be a great one, i can feel it 🥰

Y'all know how much I love doing the Cubbies and Elephants for you.

I was looking through my photos for an example for a new customer and thought why not put together a little sideshow of some of my favorites. 💜💜💜

So, now that we're back in the swing of things I have a few things to fill y'all in on.

We decided late last year to pause doing customer supplied items due to the issues with my health and my inability to meet up with folks. Well, we have decided to continue this policy for the foreseeable future. There are actually quite a few reasons behind this decision, besides my ongoing health issues. At this time it just makes sense for us.

Also, we will have to have set meet up dates for one day a week. More than likely, this will be Saturday afternoons after 2pm and the location will depend on where you'll be coming from. I typically meet at the shopping complex at 23 & Gratiot for those of you north of me, the complex at 13 & Harper for those to the south and the complex at 16 & Van D**e, where Home Depot is, for those to the west. Since the hubs will need to get me there, we have to work with his schedule. If this doesn't work for you, we can always ship your order to you I have an account with PirateShip which gives me great rates for UPS & USPS. I have an agreement with my insurance company that I do not have customers to my home so pick up here is not an option.

I really appreciate your understanding regarding this. You guys have been great, especially through these last 3 months and I can't express my appreciation for you enough. If there was a best customers in the world award it would go to all of you!! 💜🥰😘🤩💜 Thank you so much 😊
