Hope you all are having a great week so far. I thought some cooler air was creeping in, but it didn't stay did it? Well, cooler days will be here before we know it.
Interesting tidbit I thought I'd share, just because a few customers have asked and many customers don't know. I'm always one for having the truth be told. Too many rumors, and no truth to them. Had a customer picking up recently and they asked me why I closed my storefront? "Was the rent too high"? They asked. Nope, I actually bought my building, I did not rent at all ( I actually bought both my buildings for my shops, Lynchburg for Chestnut Hill Bakery and here). Other than paying my mortgage, I was debt free, One reason we could be reasonable on what we sold. I am thankful I never, in my 50 years in business, took out any business loans, didn't need to. My mom was a very smart cookie, she always taught me to save for what I wanted and buy it when I had the money. She was very much against being in debt. I'm glad she taught me how to do that, cause let me tell you,,I see so many bakeries closing cause they cannot afford the debt they accumulate. It's hard to be in business when everything goes to bills before you even get to payroll then profit. That is serious stress, but so glad I did not have that to deal with. My mom and dad showed me the importance of tithing, which both my bakeries did and still do today. If you know what I'm talking about, then you know the blessings it brings. Anyway, I told that customer my reason for moving my business was due to the stroke I had in October 2023. Alot of life changes from that, but low and behold God was in every bit of it. When you know, you know, he is faithful. I am thankful I still get to do what I was made to do, and thankful for all of you, my customers and friends. Thank you again for your continued support. I love to be a small part of all of your events from weddings, baby showers, birthdays, retirements and other celebrations. Life is sweet!
