After taking over the Summer House in New Canaan a little over 3 weeks ago, I thought it was about time that I introduced myself! Obviously life has been a little crazy since the takeover and on top of that I have a beautiful 5 month old baby at home who keeps me even busier! Luckily, I have an amazing husband that helps me manage it all!
Margaret and I have known each other since, well, basically since ...forever. My mom has a running joke that she’s known Margaret longer than me, and Margaret never has let me forget that she’s a whole 6 weeks older than me.
So now to the store. It all happened pretty quickly. Margaret and I have always toyed with the idea of opening our own retail store and when we stumbled upon The Summer House it was love at first sight. Walking into the store I couldn’t help but want to take every item on the floor and put it into my own home. From the antiqued baseballs to the gorgeous Dino Mark Anthony sofa I fell in love with each and every item.
Over the past three weeks, we’ve realized it’s not all just fun and games though. Owning a store takes a lot....A LOT...of hard work, thought, and dedication. It’s definitely a learning curve but we’re making progress (and having fun while doing it) every day!
That’s all for now on this rainy Friday afternoon!
