I appreciate every single one of you for still being here while we juggle unpacking, making our new house a home, wild Iowa weather, and everything in between while trying to get June (the trailer) road-ready.
Over the past several weeks, whenever the weather hasn’t cooperated for painting, we’ve been keeping the momentum going by making the necessary purchases for June’s operation. We’re excited to share that we’re continuing to check big items off the list and are getting closer every week!
So far we’ve purchased:
âś… Water system
âś… Generator
âś… Sinks & plumbing components
âś… Electrical supplies
âś… Flooring
âś… Door handles
âś… Countertop base
Still on the list:
✨ Countertops
✨ Custom wallpaper
✨ Interior and exterior lighting
✨ Signage
✨ Tires
✨ Hubcaps
I also want to take a moment to recognize a group of people who have quietly helped keep this whole entire business alive. Over a year ago, I created a small VIP group for some of my most loyal customers. They’ve booked private events, invited me to pop-ups, shared my business with friends and family, cheered me on through every setback, and reminded me why I started this in the first place. There have been moments when this dream has felt incredibly heavy, and they’ve been there to encourage me to keep going.
To every one of you…
whether you’ve been here since the beginning, recently found The Coffee Nook, shared a post, recommended me to a friend, or simply followed along, I am truly grateful. This little old horse trailer isn’t just being built by me and my husband, it’s being built with the support of an incredible community, and I can’t wait to open the window and serve you all.
Much love,
The Coffee Lady (Danielle)
