A New Beginning

A New Beginning

Jul 18, 2022Sandra McFarland

After running a retail store in Illinois for almost 4 years, an important thing I know differently today – is that our business does best when it’s focused on what matters to me the most. Which makes sense, I suppose – but wasn’t intuitive when we began. I thought I was supposed to build something that other people would want. And what I found – was when I build something that is most near and dear to MY heart….other people will be more drawn to whatever that is.

It’s more authentic. It’s real.

So, as we've created a new direction for 180 Pure Home, and it’s now a store that is distinctly wrapped around my own heart. Built mindfully with the things that matter to me most. And, they are as follows…

ELEVATED TABLETOP

I love the table – and absolutely everything that happens around it. I love delicious food, and beautiful presentation – and the fantastic conversation that happens when you gather together.

When I was growing up, a few times a year my family would celebrate a special occasion (or holiday) and we would gather around a spectacular table – dressed with gorgeous china, freshly pressed linens, and sparkling crystal. It was always a breathtaking sight, and as a child – I looked forward to ‘seeing’ what my aunts or cousins would put together.

In this age of single-use, disposable – let’s make it easy mentality – I’m longing to bring back the value of the more old fashion table. Where there’s sentiment in the items you place there, and history, and legacy – and JOY in blessing those that sit around the table with you. A place to linger and be spoiled. A creative, and even holy space to be present with those you love.

 

THOUGHTFUL GIFTING

My love language is gifts, so from a very young age I have honed my ability to find the ‘perfect’ present for my family and friends. It is a pleasure to find that unique, special gift that delights the recipient. It is pure JOY to curate a selection of the loveliest gifts. And now, our store does that for you! Filled with creative finds and treasures – to bless any recipient.
