Store Closing

STORE CLOSING

Yes, the rumors are true. 

Many of you have been coming in the last few days with sad faces, having heard the news from friends or family. Or you have heard me talking with someone and heard the "Nooooooooooooo" come from our discrete corner. 

I do think it is sad and upsetting news for those of you who love my Barn as much as I do. It was a hard decision for me to make .... last year.... it took me over a year to let go. To not say "mine, mine, mine....this is mine"....this is created by me.... and on and on. I can now let go, and I can actually say....out loud even....that I feel good about my decision. 

  

AS you all know, Beside running my fabulous Barn, I have continued to work my full-time job as a Cardiac Nurse Clinician. I work with two fabulous Cardiac Surgeons... I operate with them, I do rounds in the ICU and step down units, pre-op teaching, post-op teaching and discharges, see patients in clinic and help manage the office.

 Yes !! Busy!! 

I have done this position with them for many years and I will continue to do this. 

I also have a greeting card line and create canvas art and other signage as Lori Miller Vintage Design. I will continue to work on expanding this as a side business.

In addition, I have a family and home and gardens and friends that need me to be present.  Last, but Never Least - I have me....and I need some quality "ME Time" every once in a while.

Owning and being apart of the Round Barn has been a Grand time and I have personally met all of my goals.

My first goal was to have the courage to start a business in the first place... I am a nurse for God's sake...what did I know about running a business. The only thing I knew at the start, was to fill my shop with things I loved, and hope like hell, that everyone who came through the doors loved them as well. 

Goal met - check mark.

Second, I wanted to make the RBPCo. a destination shop. By creating my blog and getting my look out in blog world, I have done just that. I still can not believe how popular the Barn is throughout the States and over in Europe, Australia and Canada. Just over the last few days, I have had several different customers in from California, Louisiana, South Carolina and our neighbor Wisconsin. Some that fly, buy small items to fit in their bags, others, buy big and ship their goods home. Either way I am fascinated with how far they travel to come experience the RBPCo.

Goal met - check mark.

My third goal, and I must say was met and reinforced daily because of all of you. The praise and love that has been passed on to me by everyone who has ventured into the barn has been more then I could ever have dreamed possible. I truly appreciate each and every one of you and it has been my privilege owning this funky venue and becoming a small part of your lives.

Goal met - check mark.

Now, enjoy these pictures. I took a stroll through the Barn the other day with all of you in mind... 

at the end I will fill you in on the SALE .
