Oh. My. Gosh.
This week marks my 10 year anniversary of opening the shop in Tamarindo! I can’t believe that a decade has flown by and that I’m still here and the shop is still going strong! Just wow!!
When I first found the shop, it was nothing like what it has become over the years. It was cluttered with souvenirs and junky jewelry. Half of the shop floor was gravel, the other half was sloppily covered with a roll of linoleum. It was a mess. But the space size, rent and location was perfect so, I decided to go for it. (You can read more about how it all came to be here.)
I have no idea where I got the courage to even attempt running a handmade business. But I’m sure glad I did. I can’t even put into words what an amazing journey it’s been becoming a business owner and taking control of my daily existence. Doing something I love doing has changed my entire life. Who ever woulda’ thought I’d end up here?
The space itself has been through so many transitions over the years. In fact, now each October it’s an annual end of season tradition to completely revamp it!
But of course, the longevity of this would never be possible without the many, many people that have strolled through and contributed to this dream. 💙 I’ve been so lucky to meet so many amazing people from all over the globe. I’m definitely excited to see what’s next in this adventure. It feels like more good things are coming my way and I’m feeling very thankful and optimistic about it all.
Cheers!
