One year ago, The Gilded Tide was just an idea. A hobby. Something creative to fill a little space in my life I didn’t even realize was empty.
Somehow, that one small idea grew into something so much bigger—markets, late nights, happy tears, and a whole new passion that surprised me in the best way.
This year strengthened friendships (I truly don’t think I could’ve done markets without you, Diana 🤍), introduced me to fellow makers who quickly became friends, and gave me the absolute joy of hearing how excited people were about these shells and the stories they planned to make with them.
And to Joe Auger thank you for always helping me get over the finish line, making sure my setup was just right, and putting in the longest days on dad duty so I could chase this dream. I couldn’t have done this without you. 🤍
To everyone who supported, shopped, shared, encouraged, or simply stopped to chat… thank you.
2025, you’ll always hold a very special place in my heart. 🌊✨
