BellJar

Hey everyone, it’s been almost a year since I closed BellJar. Some of you still follow me over on my other account and know that I retreated to the desert after the fire and closing the shop.

I’ve just started getting back into real estate, now focusing on the desert, Joshua Tree, 29 Palms, Morongo Valley, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and the surrounding areas. I’ve been working hard to build a new client base outside of LA. I had to take some time off after everything to focus on my mental and physical health, but I’m slowly finding my way back.

On my other Instagram, I’ve been easing back into real estate and sharing homes out here. But I’ve also been wanting to talk more directly to camera about my life, healing from the fire, living with a chronic illness, redecorating my house, my dogs, all of it. The real, everyday stuff.

I don’t always feel like I can do that there because I don’t want to alienate potential clients.

So I’ve been thinking about bringing that side of me here and making this account more personal, more about my life and this next chapter.

I don’t know… maybe you were just here for the pretty things I sold at the store. But I’d love to hear from you.

Would you be interested in that? Would you follow along? Would you think I’m a little crazy?

Drop me a comment and let me know 🤍

Today was insane. We got more online orders than we knew how to deal with that mixed with the store being absolutely bonkers with people shopping in person. Honestly, it’s a hard thing to deal with. A store that has slowly been suffering because of the economics in LA to all of a sudden be slammed because we’re giving everything away for basically free. It’s just hard to watch and be a part of. But on top of that we sold out of some items that were purchased online. We’re getting tons of emails from people angry. Please know that if we didn’t have something that you ordered online, we will take it off your order and refund your money. Please be patient with us. This is a very hard time not just for the owner but also for the staff. And the level of outrage from people that just received gorgeous handmade items for 75% off just because we didn’t have something on the order anymore. Well, it just is a really hard thing. We’re all doing the best we can.
