Holy Sugar Honey Ice Tea, what an amazing night! ๐งโจ
โTo the owners and staff at Southern Roots Kava, you guys are amazing hosts and it was an absolute pleasure to partner with you. And to the incredible community youโve builtโthe love and good vibes pour out like sunshine! ๐ป๐ป
โThose closest to me will tell you, itโs the little things that make me the happiest: hearing how much you enjoyed your cookie(s) and watching you drag your friends across the room because you couldn't let them miss out had me smiling all night. โBut... as a business owner, again, holy sorbet! You all made last night my most successful pop-up ever. I SOLD OUT Y'ALL!!! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
And I can't thank you enough. And we'll see you next Thursday! Southern Roots Kava Bar
โThere are a few extra special thank-yous I need to make before I turn my attention to what's next:
โSteveโI know I tell you often, but not often enough for my taste: your faith in me being able to make Once Upon a Cookie a success has never wavered, even when I started to doubt myself. Thank you for making sure my fire still burns. โค๏ธ
โTo Ted and Lillieโyou have been my biggest cheerleaders and supporters since day 1. Heck, Lillie is the only person not directly tied to Once Upon a Cookie with merch! ๐
You break routine to squeeze in a chance to show me love, and you've showed up more times than I can count, tired from a long work week, just to grab a cookie. That means more to me than any sale because I know my cookies are good, but you're not just coming for the treats.
โTo my friends and communityโwho came out to Southern Roots for the first time and always make sure to tell me how much you love my baking, sharing that love with your friends and strangers alike: having you all, literally, in my corner last night meant the world to me.
โIf you made it this far, to make a long story short: last night was enough to make this mama cry... if someone wouldn't have teased her about it later ๐
Till next time-
๐ช๐ช Lindsey aka Cookie Lady
