Goodbye Gbemisoke Couture Nigeria

Hello :)

First I would like to say a BIG thank you for the show of love when I wasn't feeling well.I'm glad to report that I'm feeling much better now. I've not had much time to rest cos there's so much to get done. There are still a few loose ends to tie up and last minute errands to run as we get ready to leave naija next week. The scriptures say: He gives power to the faint and to them that have no might He increases strength.. That's my testimony.

I've experienced a myriad of emotions in the past few weeks. Closing down my business and saying goodbye to customers that have become friends and sisters over the years has been very emotional for me... Packing hasn't been easy either. I found fabrics that I have collected over the years, some that I bought up north during my service year, trimmings, buttons, all sorts that I bought from Tejuosho market before the 2007 fire incident. There's only so much I can take with me, so I've had to give out a lot of stuff and that's what made me realize how emotionally attached I am to some things. Giving away shoes and stuff like that wasn't hard for me, but I couldn't give away or sell my cutting table! We've been through so much together, plus it used to belong to my mum...It's got major sentimental value!!

Change is good. As I say goodbye to gbemisoke couture nigeria, I look forward to GREAT things.
I trust that as I follow God's lead, He'll do exceeding abundantly above my dreams and I'll testify.

Thanks for coming by again and again. May your dreams come true
xoxo

  3. I rarely comment on blogs but I've really enjoyed reading yours and viewing the pics. Love the styles you come up with - they're the sort of styles I like.
    Good luck with your move (man, I don't envy you - I HATE moving, with a passion) - I look forward to reading more when you're settled.

    That's the most important thing ma. And indeed, He will lead you and you will never regret it. It is well.

    Moving is HARD.
