Meet the Owner

Hi and Welcome! I'm Beth, and I'm so excited about being the new owner of Under the Cherry Blossoms! I have spent the last 15 years working as a Registered Nurse serving the community and working through some of the toughest years the medical field has seen with the recent pandemic. Many times over the years I have visited Under the Cherry Blossoms in Historic Mount Dora never knowing that one day I would actually be given the opportunity to own this treasure of a shop. On one such visit I had recently lost my beloved dog and it just so happened Lynn the owner was working and I paid for my purchase with only a "hug". This of course was the seed planted that years later would start me on this beautiful journey. When Lynn bought the shop that would become Under the Cherry Blossoms from her mom in 2008, her goal was to create a unique intersection of art and commerce that would benefit local artists and patrons in search of eclectic pieces they could proudly wear, display, or gift to loved ones. 

At the time, she was navigating a difficult personal chapter and the joyful, inspiring community she cultivated became the bedrock of support she needed to heal and blossom

At the time she was starting the shop I was beginning my nursing journey and also navigating difficult times as well.

Fast forward 15 years and both Lynn and I were beginning new chapters. I had become burned out from what was once my passion and Lynn was feeling she needed to move forward in life from the shop that had given her what she needed : to heal and blossom. Serendipity happened and Lynn and I intersected at exactly the perfect moment in time.

This special shop will continue to provide what it was originally intended to do. I hope that you will find the same joy inside that I most certainly do!

I am also excited to share this experience with my very supportive husband Steve, who, although he works very hard as a full time tenured college professor, finds time to come in and be my dutiful partner every chance he gets! We also share our home with Beatrice (our chunky little Walker Coonhound rescue) and our very needy rescue cat Kenny. Mom Janice also likes to come into the shop and help, and is my biggest fan.

To everyone who has known and grown to love Lynn over these past years, don't worry! She and her son Wayne will continue on as artists in the shop and continue to be a part of the Under the Cherry Blossoms family.

I am so excited to be able to work with the amazing artists and support the local community through this amazing little shop with the biggest heart.

Steve and I, and the entire Cherry Blossoms community, can’t thank you enough for your love and support of the arts!
