Aesthetics

It may have been rainy outside on Sunday morning but this mermaid had sunshine in her heart 💛🧜‍♀️

Many mermaids came out with their starfishes adorning their ears who had read my post yesterday to bring their healing and rebuilt the broken dreamer inside of me. We laughed, told mermaid stories of living on the island and began to dream together 🧜‍♀️ The garden rejoiced having the visits from my “sisters of sandbridge”!

My little garden shed had such brick and mortar Aesthetic vibes! Someone even changed in the middle of the shed like at the Crystal Lake location before we had a try on room. A boutique had bloomed like a rose in my garden!
I definitely felt all the good vibes from the Midwest blowing over and sending such inspirational women my way! Thank you mermaids near and far🧜‍♀️💛

I look forward to what was manifested in the garden Saturday… that whisper on Thursday, “all you need is in your backyard”🦋
I look forward to putting out a sign by my mailbox that says “the mermaid is in”and the ladies will all know what that means… a haven for dreams, stories, connection and of course cuteness 🧜‍♀️🦋🌹

Surrounded all week by the contents of my store having taken over my home in Virginia along with my entire driveway and a trailer stocked like a jenga tower, not knowing where to go next and just exhausted. I was flat out traumatized not only by my loss, but the loss for my retail sisters and other vendors. The amount some of them have in retail by having multiple booths and stores is enough to fill every bedroom in their home, shed and garage with no where to sell it. It’s like cutting a tree 🌳 you do not realize how much space it required until you see it on the ground dissected
In parts and it is massive…

Thursday as I was sitting in backyard trying to at least smell the roses… an ambitious plan whispered in my ear… “You have everything you need right here”…
Then the ambitious thought to clean out a pack to the gills garden shed came about… Cleaning it out and getting it dusted and de-cobwebbed, vacuuming and a good old fashion scrubbing of the floor on my hands and knees. This was really happening… I could see potential that had been there the whole time. It wasn’t going to cost me any booth fee, vendor fee or rent! I began to pull out product and fixtures and map things. I was blaring my music and the lyrics song after song seem to be a motivating cheerleader in my ears. My husband wasn’t home the first day and I even surprised myself at the things I was able to creatively move… I told Mark he better not get out of line because I think I could move a body after my clever new ways of moving things lol 😂 Of course when he got home he could see the potential and began to help me map out the hanging of fixtures. We were creating again together which I truly love🥰

The neighborhood in Virginia Beach called Sandbridge is having a garage sale! I’m the Seabeauty house and would love to feel like a shop owner again… The energy of connecting with women and inspiring each other through dreaming and finding the beauty around us and the beauty in each other… The mission of a name I chose almost 18 years ago. Such wonderful friends and family have continued to encourage me during one of the hardest weeks of my business… It wasn’t just 3 painted walls an an outlet… that we lost that day… we lost our ability to dream and entrepreneurship is fueled by the dreams that people think but someone actually takes the leap and does. These last two days have ignited the dreamer in me again… yes it’s a garage sale but it could be so much more.

To my Midwest mermaids please send me your good vibes and to my Virginia Beach mermaids please stop by if just to smell the roses… be what inspires me today 🩵🦋🧜‍♀️

Fresh new looks for every mermaid 🧜‍♀️
