Thank you again for all of the love and support everyone has shown us and Uniquely Blended over the past 2 years.

]]>So, because of our dedication to providing a unique experience, you will not find a bunch of commercially advertised product, large displays of more travel cups or "popular" brands. What you will find, is an interesting selection of jewelry, home and garden décor, custom florals, and gifts that were selected or created personally by Trish and I to provide our customers a one of a kind shop to find "the perfect gift" for almost everyone, if not everyone on your list. Also, many of our pieces have a limited selection/availability to help ensure each gift is truly unique so once it's gone, chances are it is gone forever. Bah-bye!
It has been a rough road at times and we have been tempted once or twice to take the easy way and stock the known sellers but to be honest that is not us. We like to make things as difficult as possible. Therefore we will continue to seek out unique gifts, décor and jewelry so when you need "the perfect gift" it will be here waiting for you!!!!
Talk to you soon,
Carrie and Trish

For the following two months I worked my full time job at AutoZone Distribution Center as an Advisor and Trish worked full time at her company Boulevard Bail Bonds (yes she is our very own Dog the Bounty Hunter) and every night and every weekend was dedicated to making this dream a reality. There was endless cleaning, crying, building displays, finding just the right products, cleaning, crying, stressing, pricing what felt like a billion products, merchandising, stressing, crying and receiving the most amazing support and encouragement from our friends and family. Our grand opening for friends and family was scheduled for September 1st, exactly when the much anticipated Hurricane Dorian was due to hit our area. Well if you know Trish and I, we are pretty stubborn and we were not about to let that b@#$% ruin our day. So the show went on and Dorian, well, she didn't show for the fight.
From that day, this has been the hardest thing we have ever done. They say anything worth having is worth working for, well, we are working our booties off. We still continue to work full time and run this business. While it has been a struggle, we have come so far in the past few months. We have accounts on Instagram, Facebook, our own website and the store has received amazing feedback from almost every customer who walks in the door. We have rough days and heck probably even want to give up, but we have something great that we created and while every day is truly a challenge we will continue to work our butts off because we believe in how amazing what we created is but more than that, we believe in each other.
