Meet Michelle! The creator and owner of Birdseye Studio. It was so fun learning about Michelle and her journey to creating Birdseye. Turns out we have a lot in common! Beyond being obsessed dog moms, female entrepreneurs, and we grew up vacationing in the same small town (so random!), we have both created artistic outlets for the things that bring us joy. Armed with a degree from RISD, Michelle took her unique skills she mastered from working in the footwear industry to create the most gorgeous and extraordinary wall tapestries. When Michelle first reached out, I was struck by the simple, yet intricate concept of her work. And as soon as I saw all the ways you could display floralsβ¦I...

If you happened to come by and see us during Market Days, you may have picked up on a few things. No tent. No owner. Letβs flash back to our grand opening last October. While both of my sisters had actual pandemic babies, this little brick and mortar was mine. Opening during a pandemic had its pros and cons. Yes, there was fear of being unsuccessful, but there was also lots of time spent at home, brainstorming and creating what you see today at 134 N Main. My mantra since opening day? βI will not get COVID!β Followed quickly by: βbut-if-I-do-I-just-canβt-get-it-before-Market-Days!β Getting the βvid would be bad for business. Weβd definitely need to close, and boy would that be at...
βGirls,β my Dad would say, βsome of the best advice I ever received was from my 3rd grade teacher. She always used to say, βlove many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe." Iβm the baby of three girls. Iβm not sure a month went by growing up, where my dad didnβt remind us of this important advice. Dad was adamantΒ about us being able to take care of ourselves. To be independent, to be bold, and to find comfort in taking the road less traveled.Β Β He loved to remind us to, "Learn to paddle your own canoe" When I came across this sign, I knew we had to have it at Homebody. Not only did it remind me of Dad...
I donβt totally remember what I was doing at twelve, but I can FOR SURE tell you I wasnβt running my own successful business. Meet Grace. A pre-teen entrepreneur who is getting after her dreams. When I met Grace, she was shopping in Homebody with her mom. I wouldβve never guessed she was 12. With the way she carried herself, her eye for home decor, and her personable skills, she was wise beyond her years. I learned that Grace has been building her business for three years (yup, thatβs right, she started at 9!) and has already made massive moves towards her financial and business goals. After seeing her work and learning her story, it was a no brainer that...
