I've been asked many times if I have any vintage men's rings and so I thought it might be fun to at least get a few of them ready and see if you all like them 😉

Each one of these is pretty unique, so I hope they find their second chances soon!

They are all now ready and are eagerly awaiting 🥰

Trying my best to finally get to some of the Christmas gifts I planned for my friends and family amongst the chaos 🥲

Seriously though, I've fallen in love with the Baby Lock Bloom machine 😍 I use it for freaking everything these days

Well, after 3 months of waiting SJA Property Management finally fixed the giant hole they made in our kitchen ceiling.. Only to have created another hole upstairs and have the kitchen ceiling painted with mismatching matte paint while forgetting to have the light fixture casing reinstalled 🤐

I'll hopefully get a chance to talk to them more tomorrow. It seems like everyone clocked out early on Friday and I haven't heard much from them since aside from them telling us to come back to the house once all of the support maintenance tickets were completed. This weekend they did end up marking all of the maintenance tickets as complete except the one for the roof; where they asked us to be sure to be here for first thing in the morning (that also isn't actually scheduled anywhere, nor is there even a time slot window provided) so that means we shouldn't be expecting anyone to show up to finish any of the other left behind work. There's still plastic on the stairs, random equipment blocking the hallway, for some reason a giant hole in the guest bathroom ceiling that isn't noted anywhere, stab marks in the entry way ceiling and other random damages throughout the house, and no way to get ahold of anyone because I just get told that the offices open tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

And yes I've documented everything, contacted everyone I can think of through their systems and yes I'm definitely putting wheels in motion but there's not much I think I should publicly share on that front.

Seeing these buried reviews on Google maps about SJA Property Management definitely makes me feel less alone. It doesn't make it okay but it is interesting to see how awful their reviews have been in the last 8 months or so from both tenants and landlords, all while their social media pages remain scrubbed clean 😬

12/12/2025

Remember how in my update yesterday I said that SJA Property Management had promised me they were going to come up with a figure to compensate us for all of this trouble and let us know that day? They also said that they plan on getting everything done as quickly as possible and that we should hopefully not even need to stay out of our house until Monday... Well.. Not only was it radio silence yesterday on hearing back about any actual numbers, turns out that no work was done on the house yesterday at all AND a part of our fence had fallen down at well 😆 whew what a day! (Oh and they said they have absolutely no actual timeline on when all of this is going to get down now so.. There's that)

In all seriousness though I'm just hoping that some miracle happens this weekend and we somehow get to go back home at the end of it. Where we're staying is already booked by other people after Monday so if they need us to relocate again that's gonna suck! Plus our cat can't get too stressed out or he's at risk for another bladder stone. The last one cost $10k to remove so I sure as heck hope they don't get us in that kind of position again 😬 Any cat owner knows that moving them from place to place is not good for them 😤

Update about our rental home situation:

We've officially been relocated until Monday, which is both a good thing and a stressful thing. After SJA Property Management and Property Meld sent 3 specialists to our home, only one of which I had been made aware of, they installed 5 loud fans to try to pull moisture out of the sealed ceiling and walls. They told me that the fans would be running indefinitely 24/7, that we were not allowed to turn them off at any point, and to expect a random visit from someone everyday without warning to come test the levels of moisture in the house. The fans were so loud that people were shouting over one another to communicate and seeing the look on my dog's face was just crushing me. The two other specialists had no experience in plumbing and they left without fixing a thing. So I called up SJA and said we were going to need to find a place to stay until this was done. It took hours of calling and being told I'd hear back in "20-30" minutes, but they did offer us a $1000 credit to our rent if we wanted to find a place for us and our pets out of pocket for the week.

So now we're in a place where it is nice and quiet, the pets are resting deeply after all of the chaos, and now we wait to hear back about what the timelines are looking like and what possible amount of relief they plan on offering us. Meanwhile I'm losing out on so many opportunities to place my vintage items with their second chance homes, falling behind in shipping, losing so much time to continue the hand made Christmas gifts I had planned 🥲

This is so not how this house was supposed to go and it seems like SJA still doesn't seem to recognize the fault in how they've been approaching all of this with how they worded the previous comment they made on my last video. At least now they seem to be taking it a little more seriously, I just wish they'd channel their energy into finding solutions to the actual problems instead of sending out a bunch of random people to appear as if they are doing something.

I've been quiet about this situation for months now. I've tried literally everything I can to work with SJA Property Management to get these things fixed and done right. It's now been 3 months with open holes in our ceiling, with no access to our primary bathroom, and now as of last night we no longer have any way to shower because the only bathrooms with the ability to bathe ourselves in are leaking through the ceiling.. Even through light fixtures!

This is just one of the many many issues we've run into since moving here. Most of you might want to jump to blaming the landlord but just know that they have been quick to approve estimates and have also wanted things done right. At this point SJA Property Management, along with the company Property Meld , have made living here feel like we are constantly in the middle of a construction zone; between the cheap fixes that keep needing to be redone to the insane amount of scheduling to get one job completed that have taken countless hours of my time away from work.. It's just gotten to be too much.

I'm sorry to all of you who have been waiting to see my vintage wedding dress restorations. I know I had picked this home so that I could finally have the environment and the space that I needed to do what it is that we all love so much to see. A large portion of the time we have lived here I've been stuck having to navigate all of this and have had portions of the house (such as the one big bathtub with the big windows for natural light to properly show my work, which was a big part of why I chose this house in the first place) out of order or blocked off. I haven't wanted to create videos about these gowns just for the sake of keeping up appearances, it has been tough but I'm hoping something will change soon 🥲

Ugh I'm getting so tired of this house! Since we moved in in April it has been one weird problem after another. Now we don't even have any working bathing facilities in the house because the primary bathroom was doing this same thing and has been sectioned off since September and now the only other shower in the house in the guest bathroom is doing the same thing 😩 I just wanted a bath!

I can't believe we pay almost $4k a month for this place. It has put such a damper on my creativity 🥲

Only one more day left!!

I'm running my biggest sale of the year where literally everything I have is up for grabs! It's also super special because it's only for those who are signed up for my email list!

If you're not on it yet don't fret! If you get yourself on the list, you'll immediately be able to apply the discount just like everyone else who is already on it 😘

I've never run one of this caliber before so I really hope it helps find some of these items their second chances 🥹 I'm ready to bring in some new things and make some space!
