I had some really incredible shopping experiences in Puerto Rico. I met a couple local designers and bought a maxi dress from the woman who designed it and also splits her time between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic working with sex trafficking victims. I met a couple shopkeepers who offered great product lines and bought crystals from a young woman who had the coolest beachside shop environment. As a designer and a shopkeeper myself it felt so exciting to experience and support these people and places. Doing it with my bestie who I co-own @hectorhandmade with made it all the sweeter. Especially in tourist areas shopkeepers and the products they offer make a huge impact on people; The stories, intentions and quality reflect on the culture (whether they like it or not and whether it’s “good or bad”!) It’s an honor to experience and it’s an honor to facilitate 🥰 I love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 #vacationmode #holiday #rincon #puertorico #rinconshopping #puertoricoshopping #travel #tropicalahopping #shopkeeper #designer #spreadthelove #tourism #economy #globaleconomy #educatedeconomy #shoppingexperience #experience #immersion (at Rincón, Puerto Rico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_Xs1fJQfH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I’m shining the spotlight on an incredible human, my best friend Jennie Scarbrough —whose birthday just happens to be today 🎉 Jennie is an ever changing multidisciplinary artist and entrepreneur. For the past 6 years she and I have co-created the Finger Lakes New York Gift Shop and Gallery, @HectorHandmade where we’re cooking up some merging and emerging dreamscapes steeped in feminine creativity. Creativity and art have always been a part of Jennie’s life, she has created watercolor art collections, painted album cover art, created photography collections, curated many beautiful spaces and amazing events, is now trying her hand at refinishing furniture, has always been a writer and up for learning and growing in new and beautiful ways and has worked very hard to lead an artful and thoughtful 40 years of life (we’re celebrating her today in Puerto Rico!) Jennie is also an airBnB Super Host and Vacation Rental Property Manager and lives and loves with her amazing husband Jason who is a Finger Lakes Realtor. She’s a badass and I couldn’t have experienced my creative life this powerfully without her! #FeminineLeadership #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenOnTheRise #InternationalWomensDay #LeadLikeaWoman #LeadYourOwnWay #FeminineLeadershipShines #ShineAndRise #RisingWomen #WomanRising #strive #thrive #femalerolemodels #bossbabe #curator #galleryowner #shopkeeper #entrepreneur #artist #divinefeminine #creativity #creativespirit #femininecreativity #change #changemaker #blissseeker #superhost #flxvacationrental #flxrealtor #flxgallery (at Rincón, Puerto Rico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkUe0AOIY7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There is never a shortage @hectorhandmade! I know there’s a lot of talk about supply chain shortages and longer delivery timelines, but take a look around you. Is there a local market? Do you know artists? My hometown Hector, New York has no shortage of talented artists and makers who are constantly inspiring and amazing me! I’m proud to be one myself too!Creating jewelry, clothing and accessories has been a passion for as long as I can remember and I know that @unclejoessaddlery, @sdtrainingteam and @ac_artfullycrafted have similar feelings. We’re all innately creative as humans, nurturing that spark is the trick. Supporters and collectors often fuel our drive and make us strive to serve. Highlighting market scarcity is a fear and sales tactic, supply and demand… The invisible hand of the market doesn’t push us around in Hector, and I hope you don’t let it in your home either! Supporting American made businesses is an economic and environmental effort that can reduce foreign dependence and our carbon footprint. 🇺🇸 🌱 🛍 . . . #shopsmall #shoplocal #economics #divest #smallbizsat #holiday2021 #holidayshopping #americanmade #madeinamerica #carbonfootprint #environmentalist #localvore #madeinny #madeinusa #hectorny #hectorhandmade #handmade #handmadeaccessories #leatherbag #beadedbracelet #leafearrings #supportlocalart #supplychain #handmadeleatherbag #handbeadedbracelet #handmadejewelry #slowfashion #flxfibers #flxfashion #supportyourneighbors (at Hector Handmade) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVI1nXMFwHh/?utm_medium=tumblr
