Merry Christmas from Craftshop Orlando, my fledgling new small business centered around vision boards and just being your authentic self.
For those I haven’t met yet, hi! I am Caroline but I go by Caro ever since my life in Australia. I also refuse to give up my New York City phone number.
I moved to Orlando over 10 years ago and worked on the corporate marketing teams of Everything But Water, Universal, Wyndham Destinations, Travel + Leisure and Westgate Resorts… the largest privately held corporation in Central Florida and home of Queen of Versailles.
I am GIFTED at things THRIFTED.
Truly, we have enough stuff you guys. We’re hustling throwing our money away by wasting resources. We already have what we need on this planet to live happy, healthy, peaceful lives, in alignment with the environment if we truly wanted to.
I have traveled to some pretty cool spots around the world. I am pretty proud of finding my own path in my family and kinda just always following my gut and fighting for the good guys, no matter how it may make me look.
I became a mom almost 3 years ago. It’s WILD y’all oh my god motherhood is crazy amazing when we are supported by our community and when we have the help we need. How can we make that possible for more mothers?
Ive changed completely as a person because of what I’ve experienced in my life so far, but mostly from lessons learned in my later 30s. A lot of tough tough heartbreaking stuff that everyone kind of goes through.
And the one thing that helped me through these extremely tough times was getting my friends together to do vision boards and collaging. Book club night too (shout out to the Droopy Tulips Book Club!).
Sitting, stopping, being present and surrounded by people who see you creates a kind of invisible bond with your stranger neighbors and unknowns around you. It’s not actually such a scary place once you learn we’re all kind of going through the same stuff and we could probably provide support.
Join my next event, a Vision Board Party at @infusion_tea this Saturday from 5-7pm. It’s free, just let me know you’re coming in the comments 👇🏽
Free Frame for anyone who can ID “It’s Nice To Meet Me”

About Craftshop Orlando
Hi, it's me Caro!
I like doing creative things that serve the community and building local wealth for small businesses. I also have a few projects in progress, or that I'm trying to manifest into existence, including renovating an art motel into a self-service airbnb, creative kids mini markets and products, a vision board bar and book store, and a mini junk drawer thrift shop for thrifting and gifting secondhand goods into cherished treasures. Oh yah, and a weiner dog garden for the meet up group I started Dachshunds of Orlando with thousands of local sausage dogs.

Help me achieve my small business goals and tell my story to help others in my path. A woman recovering from Corporate Life and finding her creative voice again. I am also making vegan sandwiches at Infusion Tea from time to time.

Creative Branding Consulting
I'm available for special projects, honest opinions and brutal honesty for your business. Now that I am my own creative agency, I'm free to say whatever I feel like, and it feels so good.
My marketing business brain has been fired up for the last 15 years. It's time to fire the creative side, and I am loving every minute of it. Including the part where I wash dishes as part of the kitchen staff at Infusion Tea.
Art Deserves A Seat At The Table
My new thing is collaging while out at a bar, listening to live music or my girlfriends tell their stories. It's heaven if it's also outside with some string lights and comfy chairs, with that tropical florida 75*f winter breeze.
Pack me a picnic and tell me you love me and I'm good, wherever we land. I'm starting with a bar first because people love an indie coffee and cocktails amid thrift for so long.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs of Orlando deserve to be heard and connected together. Part of our mission at Craftshop is to make those connections and amplify the already amazing work happening around Orlando.
