Announcement
C'est la vie
Meaning - "That's Life".
Just recently we went through an experience that started out "feeling right and had good intentions and plans" but ended up being the "wrong path".
As most of you know we were in negotiations with the owner of Quicksilver Photo Lab in Bellingham, WA. We spent the last four months working there and made some positive changes. The plan was to expand Quicksilver's offering of services by incorporating some of That Photo Shoppe's services, and expand That Photo Shoppe by offering some of Quicksilver's services and product line.
Well as they say "Even the best laid plans and intentions sometimes go awry or wrong". Or something like that. Long story, real short, negotiations fell apart and Jeff decided it was best that he come out of his 'short retirement' and take the business back. Luckily we had not signed anything,
I remembered some advice a friend recently gave; she said "Sometimes we are led down the wrong path just to show us it is the wrong path." I realized she was right. Luckily for us, this path was a short one and we had nothing but time invested into it.
So C'est la vie. That's life. We may not always understand it or agree but that's life.
So now what? The plans with Quicksilver is no longer an option. The store location in Anacortes for That Photo Shoppe is temporarily closed. We have some ideas and plans but they will take some time.
So for now we will be working out of our home here in Anacortes. Back among friends and the wonderful people here.
How does this effect our wonderful customers? Other than a change of location, not much. We will still be offering our services: Photo Restoration, scanning, fine art printing, workshops/classes, one-on-one instruction, creative customized gifts.
