Today was an immensely hard day for me. I had to close my baby boutique, Boomba Toomba. The economy hit us pretty hard this year, and the overhead of a brick and mortar store was more than we could bear. I spent nearly the entire day crying (how un-ladylike), and even broke down into a sobbing fit in my car while at the bank drive-through.
I feel strongly for all small business owners at this time. It's a hard fight to stay aflot in this toxic economy. I hope to see this ecoomy turn for the better soon, so that others wont have to close like me.
To cheer myself up, I am endlessly wishing for the money to buy this (HA!): 30s Dress on Etsy
and looking at this funny picture Solanah took of me, after I finished dancing with a giant viking on the side of the street:
