Heat Stroke but High Hopes

Let’s talk about the current vibe inside Jonquies: somewhere between “creative hustle” and “preheated oven.”

When we got the keys to the store, we had plans. Big ones.

What we did not plan for? No air conditioning.

Now, if you’re not from Georgia, let me explain: summer here isn’t just hot - it’s a full-body experience. The kind of heat that feels like you’re being wrapped in a damp wool blanket while standing inside someone’s exhale. Add in a little paint, a few heavy furniture pieces, and exactly zero breeze, and you’ve got yourself a wellness retreat for the slightly unhinged.

We’ve been glistening. We’ve been glowing. We’ve been sweating so profusely that even the walls are concerned.

Still, progress is happening. Slowly. Sweatily. Deliriously. And I have to say - there’s something weirdly bonding about suffering through a Southern summer while hauling display tables.

Thanks for bearing with us through this little heatwave of character-building. Jonquies is coming.

Hopefully with central air.
