600 events.
600 times we said yes to the vision, yes to the work, yes to showing up.
I started The Maby Studio in the spare room of my house, with a dream, a design board, and some samples. Who would have thought that the same room is now the twins' nursery...
Looking back, I had no idea where it would take me, what it would demand of me, or what it would give me in return.
And what it gave me was everything...
It gave me purpose when I needed it most.
It gave me relationships that turned clients and vendors who turned into lifelong friends.
It gave me nights filled with vision and days filled with relentless creativity.
It gave me a team—seasonal, part-time, full-time—who poured their hearts into every detail and made this dream real, over and over again.
It gave me an identity while I was building my marriage, my life and my family.
I’m beyond proud of the work we’ve done: the late nights, the flawless installs, the impossible turnarounds, the designs that still take my breath away when I think back on them.
Life has been so busy I haven't even had a chance to truly take a minute and take it all in. Today we celebrate our 600th event!
But, for the rest of this year, I’m celebrating every event, every client, every vendor, every version of me who showed up to do the damn thing, even when it was hard. Because how ironic is it to create celebrations for a living and not celebrate ourselves, right?!
We still have a very busy season ahead, but want to preface a sacred and much deserved pause coming in the Fall and a chance to celebrate what this little company has built, what it has meant, and what it has done for me and for us.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has been in one way or another part of these events and The Maby Studio through all these years
Here’s to the magic of 600 and whatever comes next.
xoxo,
Ruby
