The Succulent Shoppe
Address
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.
