    🔨 Dust, dreams, and determination, my little shop was almost ready.

  • 2010

    🎉 We opened the doors, popped the champagne for our very first customers!

  • 2011

    🌸 Light, bright, and full of potential—even if the shelves were still a bit shy.

Thanks for stopping by!

For the past 15 years, my little gift shop has been tucked into the colorful, sunny streets of Saint Martin (yes, that magical Caribbean island we all love). It’s a small space—so small, in fact, that most people who walk in are surprised by just how much is packed inside. “It’s like stepping into another world,” they say, and I take that as a compliment...

    These ladies helped me make it feel like home from day one

  • 2013

    New faces, familiar friends, and tons of laughter.

  • 2014

    Champagne toasts, shopping parties, and plenty of cheeky cheers.

...and Occasionally Champagne!

We’ve survived hurricanes, construction zones, and now... online shopping. While big websites like Amazon or those tempting Chinese mega-portals are easy to click, they don’t offer a warm welcome, a coffee, or a festive slice of German Christmas cake in December. (Yes, I’m German—and yes, I LOVE Christmas!)

That’s why I’ve decided to bring the shop online, but just for us here on the island. My new online store lets you browse all the goodies you might miss in-store. Shop from the comfort of your beach chair, and either pick up your order or have it delivered to your doorstep (with a minimum order, of course, (I still have to carry everything myself!).

    Bold moves! We opened our second store, twice the charm, twice the champagne!

  • 2017

    Hurricane Irma changed everything. Our hearts broke, but our spirit stayed strong.

  • 2018

    Brushes, buckets, and bravery, this was the year of rebuilding, one smile (and mop) at a time.



Surrounded by smiles, sunshine, and our amazing community. We aren’t just a store, we are a little piece of the island, a splash of color, and hopefully a reminder that supporting local means keeping our community vibrant, creative, and uniquely ours.
