Stacey has always been a small business owner at heart. Finding just the right fit of business and location seemed to an idea that was impossible to find. Her dream finally came true during the pandemic. It would seem to be the worst time to think about owning a retail store, but the risk reward ratio was not overwhelming and it gave her time to organize the store to be what she wants to be known for.

Being an artist, she has always wanted an outlet for her own work as well as that of others. She is shopping and searching for the right artisans to fill the store with beautiful, unique gifts. Giving back to other artists has always been a passion.

Stacey has always been environmentally conscious as well. Conserving water, reducing plastic consumption, recycling as much trash as possible, or up-cycling old clothes and furniture are all part of her daily routine. After watching several eye opening documentaries on Netflix, she also noticed the combined effect of mass production of meats like chicken and beef. The lack of free ranging and not allowing the animals to recycle carbon into the ground to produce rich soil is robbing our planet of trees, bushes and grasses to absorb carbon. So she took the next step to change to reduce our meat intake.

So the store will stock gifts that are hand-made, have some kind of cause they help and should be eco-friendly in either the manufacturing or giving back.

She knows individual choices alone are not going to solve the global warming issue. However she does know that if everyone pitched in a little, it will make a difference. If millions of people do one small thing, the world will be a better place to live for future generations.
