Long post ahead.. if you are a customer, please read this in whole.🩵
With a heavy heart, the time has come to shut the doors of Shea+Leigh Tea and Candle Company. October 24th will be the last day the store is open.
The friendships God has blessed me with throughout this journey, is the greatest gift I could have asked for. You all are not just friends, you are my family and I love each of you dearly. I didn't know how long He would keep me here when we opened but I knew, even through the struggles, there was a reason for the store being open. The wonderful people who have walked through these doors and into my life, the many tears shed on the church pew, the sweet spirit of Jesus showing up in every conversation, the emotional healings Jesus set into motion. This has never been "just a store". It is a place God sends the hurting, struggling, and broken so they can be comforted and reminded of His eternal love for them. I've been utterly amazed at what He is able to do with a broken person like myself. All of this makes it so much harder to walk away from.
When we have to walk away from something though, God always has us walking TO something in return. I can't wait to see what plans He has for not only me, but each of you in the next chapter of our lives!
**Don't worry though! If you depend on the vitamins and caffeine from the tea's like I do, I will still be selling dry loaded teas and candles from home but by order only and will slightly minimize my flavor selection. I can make deliveries to your home within reasonable distance or I can coordinate to meet somewhere. *Just a disclaimer too, I can't drive everyone's dry tea to them in the morning lol I would love to but that's just not feasible.
I plan to get shipping in place for both the candles and dry teas as well in the near future so I can ship to those further out of in different states!
In the next few weeks:
✨I will be placing a ton of items on sale: premixed shake powders, flavor syrups for shakes/coffees, furniture, some decor. If you see something, ask me and I will let you know if it is being sold.
I will post next week when I start the sale.
✨Get on the dry tea list! : Send me a message with your phone number so I can contact you.
✨I will be making candles by order and will also be expanding into more bulk orders, candles with personalized labels for weddings, events, businesses, gifts, ect. If you or anyone is interested in personalized candles, feel free to message me.
A re-brand will happen eventually as well so don't be surprised when that happens ☺️
Thank you for welcoming my store into our little community. It has been a JOY to get to know each of you and share our lives and struggles with each other. I love y'all!
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
