I really can’t believe I’m typing this… tomorrow we open the doors to The Takery. 🥹
Wednesday morning at 10am, something that started as an idea, turned into a dream, and then became a whole lot of praying, planning, late nights, hard work, second guessing and trusting God… becomes real.
The Takery opens. ❤️
And as I’ve been standing in this little store getting everything ready, I keep thinking about one thing…
What do I hope you find when you walk through those doors?
I hope you feel welcome from the minute you walk in—like you’ve gained a new best friend. I hope you know you’re loved, you’re seen, and you belong here.
More than anything, I hope it feels a little like home.
When you look around, I hope you see the Southern Roots & Coastal Soul that are such a big part of who we are. From the food, to the things on the shelves, to every little detail tucked throughout this place—I hope you can see a little piece of us in this store.
Something familiar.
Like Grandma’s kitchen. Like supper on the table. Like somebody telling you to pull up a chair because there’s always room for one more.
Because THAT is what I want The Takery to be.
When you pick up one of our meals, I want you to visualize your family gathered back around the table. Phones down. Talking about the day. Laughing. Connecting. Making memories.
Life is busy. Lord knows mine is. 😂 Sometimes getting everybody around the table feels almost impossible.
So if I can take just ONE thing off your plate by putting supper ON it… then I’ve done what I set out to do. ❤️
Yes, we’re going to have good food. We have some incredible local vendors. We have fun things on the shelves and probably a few things you didn’t know you needed until you walked through the door. 😂
But I want this place to be about so much more than that.
I want to know your name. I want to ask about your babies. I want you to come in and stay awhile. I want neighbors supporting neighbors, small businesses supporting small businesses, and a community that’s a little more connected because of this place.
I want The Takery to be a place where there’s always a seat for you at our table.
To every single person who has ordered from me, shared a post, encouraged me, prayed for me, helped me, believed in me, or stood beside me through this crazy dream… thank you.
And to my family—thank you for letting me pour so much of us into this dream.
I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m emotional. I’m exhausted. 😂 And I know everything probably won’t be perfect when those doors open Wednesday morning.
But it will be ours.
It will be filled with love.
And I hope when you walk through those doors, you’ll see exactly what we poured into it.
Southern Roots. Coastal Soul. Good food. Community. Family.
That’s The Takery. ❤️⚜️
Wednesday, September 2 at 10am… we open the doors.
Y’all… MEET ME AT THE TAKERY!
