FIRST YEAR LESSONS We learned that magic isn’t found in luck or chance, but in showing up. on slow days, in rainstorms, when patience is the only prayer that fits. We learned to trust, each other, the process, the clanging rhythm of growing. Kindness turned out to be our best marketing strategy, and love, our most consistent brand. We laughed until our sides hurt, danced under string lights, and found friendship in the shared chaos of creation. We said yes when it was scary, and no when we absolutely had to. We practiced grace. We practiced gratitude. And somewhere between our first charm and our first crowd, we realized this isn’t just business. It’s a lesson in being human, in believing we are enough, together. Here’s to the next chapter. still curious, still kind, still covered in glitter and grace. May we keep choosing joy, keep choosing each other, and keep remembering what we make with love lasts. — Thank you to all the businesses that have make this journey possible so far. To all the friends and supporters that have invested in us with your time, your energy, your creativity and your wallets. For allowing us to learn and grow with you, to build friendships, and laugh til our sides hurt. We are so grateful for our first year of Pairé! 🍐 #pairecharmbar #makeeverydaycharming #firstyearlessons #noogagram #smallbiz #chattanooga
