Ep 21: Pipsqueaks- More Than A Boutique: 15 Years of Handmade, Heart & Community

What does it take to stay in business for 15 years in today’s retail world?In this episode of One Tough Cookie, I’m sitting down with the heart behind Pipsqueaks Boutique — a children’s boutique rooted in handmade goods, thoughtful curation, and deep community connection.We talk about what it really means to support local makers in a world of fast fashion, how relationships (not transactions) build longevity, and the power of creating a space where families feel known and welcomed.Fifteen years doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through consistency, trust, and choosing heart over hustle — again and again.If you’re a small business owner, a maker, or someone who believes community still matters, this conversation will remind you why supporting local makes such a difference.Pipsqueaks Boutiquewww.pipsqueaks.orgInstagram: @pipsqueaksTCFacebook.com/PipsqueaksBoutique
