The Succulent Shoppe
Meet the Maker
I’m Vanessa Manrique, the hands and heart behind every piece in my shop. My love for succulents, crafting, and minimalist design inspired me to create a space where I could share my handmade creations with the world.
Crafting has always been more than just a hobby for me, it’s my therapy. During some of my most difficult days with depression and anxiety, creating became my way to heal. Every time I pour, sand, and paint a new piece, I’m reminded of the calm and joy that come from working with my hands.
In my home studio, I hand-mix small batches of concrete, pour them into molds, and patiently wait for each piece to cure. Once set, I sand and refine the surface to highlight its natural beauty. For some designs, I hand-paint subtle details or layer soft washes of color, giving each tray, planter, or incense holder its own personality. No two pieces are ever exactly alike; each one carries its own unique texture, shade variations, and story.
My style blends minimalist, boho, and modern aesthetics, making my pieces versatile for any home. Whether it’s a small planter for your favorite succulent, a decorative tray for your coffee table, or an incense holder to bring calm into your space, my goal is the same: to create items that bring beauty, functionality, and a sense of peace into your everyday life.
Through this shop, I’m not just sharing decor, I’m sharing the healing, joy, and mindfulness that crafting concrete has brought me. I hope each piece you welcome into your home becomes more than just an object, but a small reminder of the beauty in slow, intentional creation.
How it’s Made
Each planter begins with small-batch concrete, hand-mixed in my home studio for the perfect balance of strength and detail. I pour the mixture into a custom mold shaped like an anatomical heart, capturing every intricate vein, curve, and texture.
Once cured, I hand-sand and refine the piece to smooth edges while keeping the organic details intact. For color variations, I apply hand-painted layers or pigments, creating a unique finish for every planter. Finally, I seal each one with a non-toxic, water-resistant coating to protect against moisture and enhance durability.
Because every step is done by hand, no two planters are ever identical — each one carries subtle differences in texture, tone, and finish, making your planter truly one-of-a-kind.
