My name is Patrice and I am the Founder/Owner/Ceo of Trendi Beautique. I am married to the most wonderful man and have 4 beautiful children. I am a full time RN and small business owner. I am always working behind the scenes and never really get an opportunity to introduce myself to the many people who support me.
I have always had a passion for "crafts and creativity" since childhood. Watching my mom decorate our home, and take pride in bringing her decorative visions to life sparked a flame in me that I didn't realize would ignite way into adulthood.
My husband and I started a side business making t-shirts in 2014 called Twiss 1 Customz. After a few years, our lives changed and we could no longer meet the demands of our business, that I decided to branch out and do something more. In 2018, we purchased our 1st home, and not long after, I came across this idea of making doormats on YouTube. After much prayer, I decided to offer doormats to our realtor as closing gifts to her clients. Needless to say, she loved the idea, and in October 2018, I made my first doormat.
No, it wasn't perfect by far, but it was made with a passion behind it that burned so deep, and at that point, I knew I wanted to do "just that." I knew I wanted to craft. I knew I wanted to create custom and personalized pieces to add to someone's living space, just as I witnessed my mother do.
It's crazy how God has a way of changing our paths along our journey in order for him to fulfill HIS will for us. My initial career choice as a child was to be a teacher. [Because didn't everyone as a child?!] As I became older, God placed it in my heart to become a nurse in 2001, after losing my grandmother. Now, my 1st passion as a crafter has made it's way back into my life. God is giving me the opportunity teach people to craft all while continuing to myself, AND maintain work in my nursing career, plus be who I need to be for my family. Ain't God good y'all!!
This journey has been an up and down one, but has always been led by God. I put my all into each and every item that I create. I have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people along this journey. My prayer for my business is that, if it is God's will, it will continue to flourish.
I thank everyone who has supported me in any way over the course of the past almost 7 years. I will never be able to express how grateful I am.
