Sunshine Utopia ✨ I’m Phyllis—artist & beach lover. I hand-paint whimsical coastal & seasonal scenes on wood with sea glass, stones & sparkle.

From gulls in shades to cozy owls & holiday ornaments, each piece is made with love & sunshine! 🌊❄️🍁 Specializing in bringing pretty plus size & regular size clothes to women!

Sunshine Utopia is heading south! 🌴☀️🐦

The car is packed, the art supplies are coming along, and I’ll be setting up my little Florida workspace again soon.

One of the funny things about having a handmade business is that vacation packing somehow includes frames, paint, corks, rocks, and half the studio. 😂

The Etsy shop is still open while I’m away, and I’ll be ready to create from Florida if orders come in. Looking forward to a little sunshine, some coastal inspiration, and maybe a few new gull ideas along the way. 💙

Sunshine Utopia is officially going coastal again! 🌊🐚

🎄🐚 A Coastal Christmas Made with Love! 💙

There’s something extra special about a handmade gift created just for someone you love! ❤️

This sweet family of six gulls was recently finished for a customer’s Christmas gift, complete with personalized names, hand-painted ocean waves, and one fashionable little gull rocking green sunnies! 😎💚

Every stone, cork, and brushstroke comes together to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake filled with personality and love.

🎁 Looking for a meaningful Christmas gift with a little seaside charm? I’d love to create something special for your family, too!

🎄 A little beachy Christmas magic is on its way… ornament pre-orders are OPEN! 🌊✨

Here’s a peek at some of last year’s handmade ornaments—festive gulls, a seaside penguin, and a snowman who clearly prefers the beach! ☀️⛄

Whether you’re treating your own tree or shopping for a beach-loving friend, message me to talk about your ornament and place your pre-order. 💙

🐳 The “Have a Whale of a Christmas” ornament pictured is available, too! It’s the only one—I won’t be making more whale ornaments.

Let’s bring a little Sunshine Utopia to your Christmas tree! 🎄

Prime Days are here, but here’s your gentle reminder: small shops need love too. 💙

Behind every handmade order is a real person doing a happy dance, paying bills, buying supplies, packing with care, and hoping their little shop gets seen.

This week, even one small order, share, save, comment, or favorite can make a big difference. Shop small when you can — it truly matters. 🌊✨

Happy Pride Month from my little coastal corner of the internet 🌈✨

Celebrating love, color, kindness, and all the sparkly souls who make this world brighter. Here’s to being exactly who you are — boldly, beautifully, and maybe with a little sea glass shimmer. 🐚💛

It’s been a 7-GULL kind of week over here at Sunshine Utopia 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

When I first started making my seagull pieces, the little ones flew out the door.
Now? It’s all about the BIG flocks!

I currently have 11 orders in my queue (thank you 😭💛) and most of them are 7-gull customs — each one personalized and completely handmade.

Today’s agenda:
✔️ Clouds
✔️ Waves
✔️ Corks
✔️ Tiny feet & beaks
✔️ Packaging up happy mail

And yes… one of these happy flocks is headed all the way to Portugal 🇵🇹

Thank you for keeping this little coastal dream of mine going. Every order still makes me smile.

If you’ve been thinking about a custom family flock, now’s a great time — these have been flying lately! ✨

Hi friends 👋

I’ve been a little quieter over here, but I’ve still been in my studio making these quirky little seagulls one by one 🐦💙

Each piece is handmade using real stones, painted details, and a whole lot of personality. No two are ever exactly the same — just like the folks who love them.

If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’ve been around a while, thanks for sticking with me 🥹

I’ll be popping in here more often again with new pieces, behind-the-scenes moments, and the occasional cha-ching celebration 🎉
