WHY I HAVE BEEN SO QUIET LATELY... I wanted to jum WHY I HAVE BEEN SO QUIET LATELY...
I wanted to jump in and check in with you! Firstly, apologies for not being in touch for a while. I've been very quiet lately for a number of reasons -  all of them good :) 
.
I'm a very sensitive and reflective person and these past few months with all that has been unfolding in the world have been particular interesting for me and all of us really. 
.
While Raid My Wardrobe has been on pause due to circumstances out of our control :( ......other doors magically opened up for me. It started slowly at first a few hours here and there, a contract to help set-up a new business, some on-going support and now after 2 months I'm totally in it - Business Manager of an brick and mortar and online indoor plant store - @lovemyplants101 with my partner. 
.
If you'd told me back in February that I'd be working in the indoor plant industry I would have laughed in your face and said, 'You must have me mistaken with another'. Now as I communicate this with you I pinch myself at how truly amazing and exciting things have been for me over the past few months. 
.
So, I've been quiet for good reason.....I've been sooo busy!! To go from idea to fully fledged operating shop in the space of about 4 weeks has been one exciting ride. To use all my 10 years experience from creating and operating Raid My Wardrobe in helping another with their vision and dream has been inspiring and completely fulfilling for me. I love trouble shooting and problem solving, learning new things, stretching my brain, being challenged and finding more efficient ways to do things. I also love being of service to people and surrounded by nature. Pronouncing the plant botanical names though I'm still nailing that one ;)
.
Some of you I have already run into and you have recognised me in your part of the woods - East Maitland. And I have a special offer for you when you scroll down, as I'd love you to come in and say 'hi' and add some cleansing, greenery to your home.
.
You might be asking - What does this mean for Raid My Wardrobe?? Continued in the comments.
One can never walk past an op shop 🙋‍♀️ P One can never walk past an op shop 🙋‍♀️ Picked up these beauties at bargain prices from @lifeline_designerdepot and @redcrossshops skinny distressed jeans $15 and authentic Mexican leather cowboy boots $35 for me and Angelo Litrico suede leather jacket for him $50 so many beautiful knits and jackets in store but I did stop with just these. Have you hit the op shops lately? What have you found?
