When the Church of the Good Shepherd graciously rented me this incredible space in the fall, I was sure I would be ready to host my first opening in early December: Merry Christmas, new start! As it turns out, it was a lot more work than I imagined it would be (shocking, I know). But, I made it. With the help of friends and family, I hosted a soft opening on March 25. I was so excited to mingle with my nearest and dearest that I didn’t take one. single. picture. Thankfully, my mom, who I can never quite seem to shake (just kidding, love you mom, wouldn’t survive without you, I swear), took some pictures to commemorate the event.
