One of my favorite parts about owning my own fantasy shop is that I can do stuff like Cosply Discount Day, and people just go with it 🤷 #cosplay #artsky #makeup

There's not enough milk thistle art out there. This is my attempt to remedy that. #watercolor #artsky #painting #artistsupport #fairy

Oh, my neck and back are royally f***ed after just an hour of watercolor. I have been asking myself that question for years.

No one sees my art posts unless I include my cat. So I'm giving the people what they want. Go ahead. Sing her praises. She just wakes up like that. 🙄 #cat #catsky #blackcat

Cosplay discount day so we might forget for one second that the world is on fire. We'll be doing this every month for the foreseeable future. 😸

Cosplay discount day was a success! Plus, A glimpse into the life of a small business owner who occasionally forgets she has responsibilities.

DO IT! If it helps, I had what most would consider a nightmare of a childhood, and the books I read as a kid were like a beacon of hope. They stuck with me and make me smile to this day. You could change lives for the better by doing something you already want to do. 🤷

Resting cat face is strong with this one

Okay... but he does kinda look like he's about to sell me a Honda civic with 120k miles and then ask me what I'm doing later.

The opposite of depression isn't happiness, it's expression. MAKE THE WEIRD ART. Express yourself. It may do more for you than you realize.

I wish this app was better at posting videos, but for now, here's a subpar video of transforming the shop for spring. The whole shop is one giant art installation. #artsky #art #💙📚 #artistsupport #supportartists #bskyart

Turns out the best part about owning a small business is that I can do stuff like this whenever I want. 😂 Whimsy is an Enchanted Forest themed art and vintage giftshop supporting 25 artists. 2608 Sutherland Ave knoxville TN.

Hit them where it hurts AND support a dream simultaneously. Not spending at all will force your favorite small businesses to fail. Please keep that in mind. Sincerely, a small business owner that supports 25 local women artists in her shop. #smallbusinessowner #smallbusiness #bskyart #womensart

If you guys want to rebel, only purchase things from small businesses.

I've had to take a step back from social media. I basically just open apps to post and then leave before I get overwhelmed. It's so hard as a small business owner to make decisions like this. I am aware that a lack of presence can harm the shop, but I just need a minute. 😅

There are very few things that humanity has gotten right. CHEESE is one of them.
