Yes, I’ve been keeping a secret! Now that our newest releases are out in the open, I’ve decided to let my secret out of the bag too. You might remember me talking about the vacation that Jon and I took in the middle of May. Well… it wasn’t much of a vacation! We traveled back to the Midwest with a purpose and we spent 5 long days searching for a home. Guess what!? We found one! So where are the new digs? You might also recall that we were both born and raised in Iowa so this will be a homecoming for us as we move to a home in Ankeny, Iowa (right outside of Des Moines). I think the single most exciting part of this move is that I’ll also be taking the plunge into working full-time for Taylored Expressions! It has been a dream of mine since beginning this adventure last year! We’ll be leaving California on June 30th and arriving in Iowa on July 2nd. We move into our new home on July 7th so you’ll need to give us a few days to get everything set up and then the store will be up and running again on July 11th. You can continue to place orders while we are moving, but we will not resume shipping until July 11th. Also, because of the timing of our move there will be no July 5th stamp release.
While this is an exciting new adventure for us, it also brings a great deal of sadness as we leave friends and relationships we’ve developed during our last four years in Southern California. I’ve made so many wonderful friends through our shared love for stamping. I know many tears will be shed on moving day, but I take comfort in knowing that conversation is just a click and a keystroke away. For those of you located in the Southern California area, I will be hostessing a
Taylored Expressions farewell party (complete with cupcakes!) on Saturday, June 2oth from 11am – 4pm! I hope you’ll save the date and plan to join in the fun! Whether we talk once a week, once a month, or maybe we’ve never met, I would love to meet you and give you the opportunity to shop at the TE Store before we move it across the country. If you are able to make it to the TE Farewell Cupcake Reception, I’d appreciate it if you could RSVP to
tayloredexpressions@gmail.com. I will email you back with the specific location (in Pasadena) and a special coupon code for a TE shopping spree. You’ll receive free shipping on top of any moving discounts (beginning on Wednesday, June 17th) and you’ll be able to pick up your order during the cupcake reception. Those of you unable to attend the farewell party will still be invited to help us lighten our load before we pack up and ship out. Stop by my blog and the TE Store on Wednesday, June 17th for all the moving specials!
P.S. If you live in the Des Moines area, I would love to hear from you! Jon and I grew up in the Northwest part of Iowa so we’re not very familiar with Des Moines. I’d love it if you would share your favorite restaurants, favorite parks or bike trails, and of course your favorite stamp stores! *grin*
