As you can see, for the first time since we began The Little Tart, we will not be operating seven days a week this summer.
We have been wrestling with this decision ever since yours truly found herself in emergency near the end of last summer. It could easily have been either of us and it was a wake up call. Apparently our physicians, family, friends, and the guy who called us 'idiots' last summer (you know who you are) were right.
When it's February and there's still snow on the ground and we're still months away from peak season, if you tilt your head, squint and say it quickly, seven days a week for two months doesn't sound too bad. But when we're in it and we're only getting about six hours sleep for every fourteen to sixteen hour day, it's not healthy.
First, we want to apologize to our Monday and Tuesday customers. We had to choose the days with the least impact. We would hate to lose you and sincerely hope you will consider becoming Wednesday or Thursday or any other day customers.
We knew this time would eventually come. Time is a thief; it's stealing our youth. We're not very happy about that. Our biggest concern is that anyone should think this is the beginning of the end of The Little Tart. Let us be very clear...
We're not going anywhere!
As long as you'll let us, we'll be here. We're slowing down with no intention of stopping. We feel this is the best way to extend the life of our business and the two people who run it and love what all of us have created here.
Thank you so much in advance for your understanding.
