💕 The Many Hats of a Picky Grace’s Boutique Owner 💕
People often think owning a boutique means spending your days shopping for cute clothes and talking fashion.
And yes, there’s a little of that…
But the reality is much more.
I’m the buyer finding styles you’ll love.
I’m the website updater.
I’m the social media manager.
I’m the Facebook ad creator.
I’m the inventory manager.
I’m the pricing department.
I’m the merchandiser.
I’m the photographer and videographer.
I’m the shipping and receiving department.
I’m the return processor.
I’m the event planner.
I’m the customer service department.
I’m the bookkeeper and payroll department.
I’m the problem solver.
I’m the IT department.
I’m the cleaner and decorator.
I’m the “just one more thing before bed” person.
Recently, our youngest daughter, Sophia, joined me in helping with all of the above—and it has been such a blessing.
And somehow, I’m also a wife, mother of four, grandmother of nine, a multimillion-dollar real estate agent fielding calls all day, and still trying to figure out what’s for dinner.
What many people don’t see are the late nights, early mornings, vendor orders, website updates, unpacking boxes, creating content, planning events, and countless behind-the-scenes details it takes to keep two stores running.
The best part?
The incredible women who work alongside me at Picky Grace’s Boutique. They help you find the perfect outfit, celebrate life’s special moments, and leave feeling beautiful and confident. I tell them all the time—they have the most rewarding part of the job!
Picky Grace’s Boutique began with a dream, and thanks to this amazing community, that dream continues to grow in Athens and Rockbridge.
Every purchase, share, comment, recommendation, and visit through our doors means more than you’ll ever know.
Thank you for supporting a small-town dream, a family business, and the people behind Picky Grace’s Boutique. ❤️
We are so grateful for each of you.
