Y’all, I forgot to put this in my other blog, but this deserves its own little one-and-done, praise-Jesus update. 😂
I have told y’all 1,000,001 times that June, July and August SUCK for me in business. I’m not saying I sell nothing, but these are my get-by months. These are NOT my “let’s go shopping” months. They are definitely not my “let’s go buy a new car” months. 😂
Normally, I prepare for summer because I KNOW it’s coming.
This year?
I prepared for absolutely nothing.
I went to Florida. I went to Vegas. I bought a shit-ton of jewelry inventory. Then I went to Italy for two weeks and apparently decided I was a Rockefeller.
Hermès? Sure.
Dolce & Gabbana? Absolutely.
Gucci? Why the hell not?
If they had a cash register, apparently I felt obligated to visit it.
So that little cushion I normally have tucked away to get me through the summer?
GONE.
And THEN, for reasons I still cannot explain, I just kept buying inventory.
And buying.
And buying.
Something was clearly wrong with me. 😂
But y’all…
TODAY WAS THE DAY.
Things had started picking up a little over the last week, but today?
THE DAMN FLOODGATES OPENED.
The cork popped. The gates opened. The cherry broke. Whatever the hell the saying is — IT HAPPENED. 😂😂😂
PRAISE JESUS. HALLELUJAH. THANK YOU, LORD.
Earlier this week, two of my sweetest customers came over and SHOPPED. Tennis bracelets, earrings, everything. They absolutely blew me away.
And then today came.
Rings. Earrings. Bracelets. And more.
Y’ALL ARE SHOPPING AGAIN.
I think summer is officially OVER. The kids are back in school, everybody has apparently regained their freedom, and my people have come out saying:
“We haven’t shopped in three months, Tammy. WE’RE READY.” 😂
And listen, jokes aside for one second — I am incredibly grateful.
Every single person who has purchased jewelry from me, supported my little business, sent someone my way, or continued shopping with me year after year — THANK YOU.
You truly have no idea how much I appreciate you.
Now excuse me while I go enjoy the fact that the gates of retail hell have FINALLY opened.
MAMA CAN BREATHE AGAIN. 😂🙌💎
Oh, I forgot I sold three of my Hermes’s Coats and one Mink ❤️💋
