The Snyder Insider: The Style Bar

well it wasn't planned, but i've been on quite the blogging hiatus. the craziness in our lives peaked with work travel and then the opening of my business....but i'm back and i'm feeling so blessed these days. i'm going to try and catch you up to speed on the events leading up to the opening of The Style Bar by giving you the quickest version that i know:

on the way to our LifeGroup christmas party last year, my friend, Julie reminded me of a discussion we had close to a year prior about opening a boutique with some shared office/salon space and we decided that now was the time to act on this idea. a short time later we found some space on 120th and Pacific St. that looked appealing. we checked it out, put in a bid to the owner for building improvements and shortly after were denied. we took a step back and after a little bit more time, found some space in the Morgan Place building that looked interesting. in the meantime, Julie and i were introduced to a wonderful lady, whom we now call our friend, Georgy Collier. Georgy is a private jewelry consultant who was looking to venture into her own business. it was a perfect fit that she join us in our quest for shared working space! shortly after our introduction to Georgy, the three of us agreed to call Morgan Place our business home. after some back and forth with the previous tenant, some much-needed improvements and several hours of planning we can finally call ourselves The Style Bar! at The Style Bar you'll find me-the hairstylist, Julie and her assistant Rachael-the interior design specialists with Julie Hockney Design, and Georgy-the private jewelry consultant with GC Gems. we also have a fabulous boutique in our storefront! find us on facebook to follow more of our journey.

the support that has been shown to me over the last month is absolutely humbling! THANK YOU doesn't even express gratitude i have for each of your kind words, helping hands and visits to my new business. i'm so blessed and i hope to return the kindness at any chance i get. i don't think i'll ever be able to repay my husband, though. his support and hard work are hard to match! he is my number 1 fan and i wish i could even do half of the work for him that he has done for me. it's incredible.

the glory though, goes to God. for without him, i am nothing and i wouldn't be where i am. my cup is overflowing.

Julie, me and Goergy toasting to our new business!
