It is time for change!

It's the end of August....summer is wrapping up.  I am surrounded by kids heading back to school, recent college graduates embarking on new careers and Presidential candidates revving up.  It all makes me eager to venture in a new direction myself!   Hmmm, what should I do next?

Do what you love & success will follow

What's great about my story is that I am doing what I love...and it's working!  When I was a Studio Art Major at Skidmore College, I panicked that I could never make a living having that much fun, so I switched my major to Business with a concentration in Retail.  Five children and many years later, I opened a tiny gift shop in Wilton, CT.  Sea Beans Studio carries mostly handcrafted items, many from local artists including myself.   Happily, I have become the go-to gal for all things personalized (custom handpainted designs) such as Director Chair covers, tote bags, signs & plaques, glassware and picture frames to name a few.  There's never a dull moment with so many fun and truly special projects to work on.  Feel free to take a peek at my website: seabeanstudio.com
I am so lucky to be doing what I love...and people love what I do!  What could be better?
