Being a multi passionate entrepreneur isn’t always easy, but days like today make it all worth while! Y’all, this is a pic of me and my best friend at our gift shop and gallery that we have co-owned and operated together for 5 years! Today we reopened @hectorhandmade and had such an incredible day connecting folks with handmade gifts and art. It sure does feel great to gather and celebrate and wrap gifts again! Infusing art and style and friendship in business can be messy, weird and hard; But it’s vibrant, juicy and fun and I wouldn’t - couldn’t - have it any other way! 👯‍♀️ 💝 💋 . . . #bestiepreneurs #entrepreneur #femaleownedbusiness #womanownedbusiness #multipassionateentrepreneur #multipassionate #shopkeepers #bossbabes #feminineleadership #partnership #businesspartners #besties #goodday #happyplace #selfemployeed #lifedecisions (at Hector Handmade) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCINkIJVZ2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday I visited the #NewYorkStateCapitol Building for a rally and press conference in #TheWarRoom and to deliver a petition to the governor. I had the honor of speaking alongside many activists as a leader in environmental responsibility with my sustainable style business @themisandthread and a co-owner of a #FingerLakes centric, tourism reliant gift shop and gallery (@hectorhandmade co-owned by my bestie @jennie_scarbrough) #SenecaLakeGuardian arranged for this bus trip which left early and returned with celebratory Finger Lakes wines. You can see the press conference streamed live on Facebook (like Seneca Lake Guardian there!) 🇺🇸 ✊🏼 📢 . . . #democracy #activism #environmentalist #FLX #SenecaLake #WineAndTourism #FLXfamily #bestiepreneurs #ProtectTheFingerLakes #bitcoinmining #ilovenewyork #iloveny #albanyny #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike #protectsenecalake #waterprotectors #morewomenincharge #womenbusinessowners #newyorkwine #wineindustry #fingerlakestourism (at New York State Capitol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfRgpuufIN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Experience art. It is vital. @vangogh.experience at @vangoghbuffalo last week with my bestie @jennie_scarbrough was a boss babe trip before @hectorhandmade kicks into super high gear for the holidays and it was an incredible reset and rest and amazing overall experience and trip. I’m an artist, designer, stylist, entrepreneur, gallery and gift shop owner; I’m also an over thinker, highly sensitive, anxious, dyslexic and scatterbrained. A time out and trip with my best friend was an amazing opportunity to unplug. We’re all walking around like keeping a home is easy and like we didn’t just break a tooth last night after brushing and flossing (truth 😬) but we all struggle and lead double lives and pick and chose our battles. One of the ways I cope is with Fashion Therapy - helping myself feel comfortable and look great with fashion absolutely boosts my confidence and elevates my mood. Excelling in university (Fashion Design major 👋🏽), honing in my expertise with Custom Fashion Design, and striving to express my talents as creatively as possible has led me to this moment. Today I have opened scheduling for Spirit Style Consultations to see if you would be a good fit for my new program Fashion Therapy Sessions - check out the latest 5 minute video on my @youtube link in bio to get started! 🌌 🦬 🎨 . . . #bossbabes #bestiepreneurs #bossbabe #thisishowwedoit #starrynight #businesstrip #arttrip #buffalony #vangoghexperience #stylist #nystylist #artist #entrepreneur #morewomenincharge #iammagick #supportart #experienceart #artislife #weallstruggle #confidence #fashiontherapy #spiritstyleguide #styleconsult #letschat #styleconsultation #spiritstyle #spiritstyleconsultations #womeninbusiness #womeninart #womeninfashion (at Van Gogh Buffalo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgQekBPh7e/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you ever used biodegradable glitters?! I had so many Sparkle Sessions at @fingerlakesgrassrootsfest last weekend with my all time favorite biodegradable glitters from @glitter_nymph and @altnaturals! I love using Glitter Nymph’s shimmer aloe gel and @beautycounter’s invisible brow gel to apply glitter. This pic is me sparkling my bestie @jennie_scarbrough - this may have happened a million times, and it may happen a million more! ✨ 🌟 ✨ #sparklesession #biodegradableglitter #festivalfashion #festivalstyle #youcandanceifyouwantto #grassroots2021 #besties #bestiepreneurs #sureweregrownup #bigkids #neverstopplaying #dressup #dresstoexpress #sparkle #betterglitter #betterbeauty #glitter #plantbasedglitter #eucalyptusbasedglitter #plantmagic #plasticfreejuly #glitterdoesnthavetobeplastic #glitterdoesnthavetobeoil #bioglitter #friendsforever #bff (at Grass Roots Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4SrPBNr1Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you for supporting my small businesses. Every comment, reaction, share, conversation, and purchase really does mean the world to me! I have been self employed since 2013 and connecting people with products, services and brands that align with their values has been my underlying drive. I really think that when we pay attention to where our money goes and spend with intention we generate symbiotic growth towards creating the world we want. I am so grateful to actively work in alignment with my passions and priorities and I never ever take it for granted. I am grateful for you. Even if the only support you share is a social media reaction, know that you are helping small woman owned ethical business. @hectorhandmade I co-own with my best friend in the whole wide world @jennie_scarbrough. We’re open 12-5 Friday-Sunday and exclusively carry locally made gifts and art from the Finger Lakes Region of Central New York State. You can shop @themisandthread’s ethical apparel there in person alongside so many other beautiful items! I am constantly curating Themis and Thread’s sustainable style offerings to create a one stop online shop to help other women in leadership roles stand out in confidence without compromising their values. #BetterBeauty brands like @beautycounter and @colorstreet offer gorgeous alternatives to toxic beauty. The link in bio can connect you to my upcoming Q and A as well as all my other important links! 🙏🏽 🛍 🥰 . . . #shopsmall #supportlocalart #femaleownedbusiness #thankyou #bestiepreneur #entrepreneur #sustainablestyle #educatedeconomy #slowfashion #smallbizsat #smallbiz #smallbusinessowner #femaleentrepreneur #shopyourvalues #showup #confident #success #succeed #smalltown #smallbusinesssaturday #womanownedbusiness #bossbabe https://www.instagram.com/p/CVyd-HHrYCX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Many thanks to all of you wonderful humans! I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and love. After a sweet holiday week with my incredible husband I jumped into sharing my gifting and style solutions to kick off the holiday season. Sustainable, local, non-toxic and joyful gifts and style are how I get to communicate my passion for helping you feel great while protecting our planet. I am so humbled and honored to offer you my love through my businesses. My best friend @jennie_scarbrough and I saw so many friendly faces at @hectorhandmade supporting local artists and finding handmade gifts. There you can find some of my and Jennie’s work too. It has been a joy to offer deep discounts on sustainable Ts, vintage fashion and more at themisandthread.com - our big sale goes through December 10th! My @beautycounter business connected so many people with safer solutions for toxic products many of us use everyday - switching to safer couldn’t be easier with our amazing collection of personal care products! I am also so incredibly proud of our growing Beautycounter team - @alexbondflx and @sallyjessed you are sharing safety and progress with your community so beautifully! I also turned student under Sally to join her @colorstreet team and am having so much fun with this new style offering! I feel so supported by my mentors and community and clients and the whole sustainable style and arts industries. Thank you for being a part of my journey and my holiday season. I love you!

Hey 👋🏼 I’m Jesse! I’m an artist and an art appreciator. My best friend and I went to Watkins Glen High School together then went our separate ways for college; Jennie studied English and I studied Fashion. About 15 years ago we both moved back to the Finger Lakes and 5 years ago we opened a Gift Shop and Gallery together called @hectorhandmade. We’re Bestiepreneurs! This special little shop is just down the road from @rastaranchvineyards, the farm winery where I grew up that my family runs and walking distance from our own homes. At Hector Handmade we exclusively feature locally made art and gifts from within a 30 mile radius of the shop. We range from representing 30-50 local artists, ourselves included. The way I hope and dream and feel about my home is depicted in the piece of art I’m holding: “Peace Grapes”. It’s been printed on Organic Cotton Ts and onesies for many years and is now available at the shop and on my website as a small piece of art on durable chipboard. It features a grape vine peace sign and the roots are the interconnected Finger Lakes. It’s been 5 weird and utterly wonderful years of running a retail business, and having @jennie_scarbrough by my side all the way has been the sweetest gift of it all! Tomorrow, Sunday June 26th from 4-7 we are having a big 5th Anniversary Party at Hector Handmade and we would love to see you there if you’re lucky enough to be in the Finger Lakes! We are all connected, art is essential, this land and water needs protectors, there is much to hope for and my home sweet Hector is full of inspiration and adventure! I will celebrate and I will be proud and I will always hold safe spaces of beauty to share.

Wanna go for a walk?! My name’s Jesse Junko Beardslee and I took a month off of social media so I wanted to reintroduce myself and invite you into my world! I live in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of Central New York State surrounded by vineyards and lakes and waterfalls and hiking trails and wineries. I’ll take a walk everyday and share it in my stories - join me there! I’m an Ethical Apparel Designer for my award winning fashion biz Themis (thee-miss) and Thread.
