Flagler Beach resident Sara Meinking celebrated the first anniversary of her art gift shop in Ormond Beach on Saturday, May 17.
Located at 398 S. Atlantic Ave., Sea Dreams by Sara is Meinking's first retail store. She sells coastal home decor, jewelry, gifts and memorabilia, as well as art created by local artists. Sea Dreams by Sara also offers arts and crafts classes.
To celebrate her first year in business, Meinking hosted a Customer and Community Appreciation Day with live music, food and beverages, giveaways, and artist meet and greets.
Meinking thanked event attendees in a video posted to her business' Facebook page. The store was full all day, she said, with support from the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce, customers, resident artists and area networking groups.
"It's humbling," she said. "It just is an indicator that I'm doing the right thing and I'm where I'm supposed to be."
