• It's taken a while for me to gather my thoughts to write an update on our business, and even though it's still not perfect, I thought it was worth it to go ahead and share our news regardless. // Long story short, we have decided to close our wee business and focus more on fostering our creativity in other ways, while also allowing us more time to dedicate to raising our littles. // I've added an entire post about this on our website (direct link in profile), including a transparent explanation of the reasoning behind this decision, along with a what's next summary. In short, I am taking time to focus on family, lean into motherhood, and foster my creativity in other ways. We will stop selling our wraps directly to customers (i.e. on the website and through shows), but will continue to supply our retail partners for as long as they want to stock our wraps. // Fair warning, it's a bit of a read, but I promise I tried to minimize the rambling. // Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our small handmade business for as long as you did! We are so grateful for every customer, retail partner and vendor friend we've made along the way. It's been a great ride, friends!! Cheers to a great experience! #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssaturday #bignews #shopannouncement #newbeginnings

  • Celebrating because we just wrapped up our last Christmas show of the season!! // Thank you everyone for supporting our small handmade business this year. Each and every single purchase still makes this entrepreneur's heart so happy. We wish you all a happy holiday season and tons of uninterrupted family time (which is all I'm asking for this year!). I know we will be soaking up every minute we get to spend together, especially when this baby arrives! And if you missed us at a show, you can still find us online!! Thanks again for all the love and support. We couldn't do any of this without you (not to mention the small army of parents we have behind us helping at shows, taking care of Harlow and cheering us on)! #merrychristmas #happyholidays #alldone #entrepreneurs #familytime #madebyhand #madeincanada

  • Kicking off the last Christmas Show of the year and we're so excited it's the @seasonschristmasshow! We love being a part of the #makefulmarket and surrounded by other makers and creatives. The talent is just oozing out of this place! // Stop by booth #MM112 if you're in the area and say hi! You might even catch a glimpse of this 37 week pregnant belly if you're lucky (and if I'm not running to the bathroom 😂)!! ♥️🐝 #seasonschristmasshow #makersgonnamake #shopsmall #handmadebusiness #madeincanada #madebyme #madebyhand

  • October is a busy month for us as we prep for our upcoming shows (check out our Buy Locally page for the list of shows for this year). // It's also Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and October 15th is recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. In honour of this, I am sharing a little bit about how running a small business helped me through one of the hardest seasons of our lives, after we became members of a heartbreaking group of mothers and fathers grieving the loss of a baby last year. // If you're interested, the blog post is up on the blog today at www.sweetgreenstudios.com/pregnancy-loss-and-business #lifeafterloss #pregnancylossawarenessmonth #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #iam1in4
