For Brittany Overshiner, every interaction with a customer is an opportunity to honor her late mother's legacy and memory. 

"To honor my mom is something I strive for. I always wanted to make her proud, and I really hope I am. It's a great honor to know that people get to hear about her from my story. It keeps her name alive, and, that to me, is the most important thing I can do for her. She was the hardest working woman I've known. She had opened her own business, Griffin Laundry Services, which is now Blushing Beaus Boutique. She had cancer and was still chasing her dreams. She was a huge inspiration to my daughter and myself, so, to me, this is just more rewarding than having a business, it is something that is heart warming to me and my family," Overshiner told The Putnam County Post.

A little over three years ago, Overshiner's mother passed away and that is when she decided to look at life different and act on her talks of opening a boutique. What was talk and a plan has manifested into Britt's Blooming Boutique, which is located at 5 West Franklin St., Greencastle. Overshiner said her mother encouraged her to chase her dream just prior to her passing, and she did. 

"I started out doing Facebook Live sales out of my front room, and I quickly realized I needed more space and bought a "she shed." It was a small, Amish built cabin and it worked for about eight months and I outgrew it. During that time, I bought a small trailer to travel and do vendor events, and we were busting at the seams and decided to upgrade the building. I bought a 16x40 lofted cabin that sat at our property and it became our shop. This is really where I started building relationships with customers and it gave them a 1-on-1 shopping experience," Overshiner said. 

It was at this time that her business really took off, as she visited a First Friday event in Greencastle. 

"I got information about a location that was going to be available and I checked into it, and that is our new location. My boutique represents women of all shapes and sizes. We carry xsmall to 3x and denim sizes 0 to 24. My boutique represents body positivity and empowering women to be confident and comfortable in their own skin," Overshiner said. 

She said she loves Greencastle and has met many people after moving downtown. 

"I moved downtown confidently knowing it is a great location. We are still new and still working on making the inside perfect, but it has been an amazing experience so far. I love that we have had a lot of new shoppers and love meeting new people. All and all, I would say things are going well," Overshiner said. 

And, she is continues to honor her mother, as well as inspiring her daughter to chase her own dreams.

"Chasing my dreams is something I didn't really know how to do years ago, but when you love what you do, it is easy and fun and doesn't feel like work. I am hoping my daughter sees that no matter what, you can always chase your dreams," Overshiner said.

Britt's Blooming Boutique is open Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m.
