Hey, bakery friends!! I’ve got some business updates for you.
After reviewing the financials of the last 5 months, and giving it some prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to end my time at Shades Mountain Mercantile. I am so incredibly thankful to everyone who supported my booth there, and for everyone at SMM for giving me the opportunity. ❤️ I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received and for all the new acquaintances made through SMM, and especially being able to reunite with an old homeschool mom/friend from my childhood. It was definitely not a wasted opportunity, but as the final quarter of 2026 approaches it just didn’t make sense for me to continue pouring into it.
As a small business owner and a wife and mom, I constantly have to think about what works best for, not only my business, but also my time and my family, and right now I need to be putting more energy into areas of The Little Bakery that are thriving, such as pick up and delivery days and big events in town. Y’all know I like to be open with you about my decisions so there is no room for confusion AND so you can keep up with how to get your bread 😋, so I wanted to make this post and share the news with you. While I did hope the opportunity would be longer lasting, I’m not sad for it to end but very thankful to have had the chance to try!
If you frequented shades mountain mercantile and would still like to order from me, please sign up for my weekly menu notifications! I offer pick ups and deliveries.
All that said, I do have a few items left that I picked up from the store today. They will be HIGHLY discounted and available for pick up this evening or tomorrow. I’ll post in comments a list of my available items. Just comment or message if you’d like to come pick up. 💕
