About Frills And Fantasy Boutique
Frills And Fantasy Boutique was founded by a woman named Colene Hume who was tired of conventional
job. She has
always wanted the freedom that comes from working from home. She
had a few different jobs that were less than fulfilling and tried to start up a
couple brick and mortar business, unfortunately she could not come up with the
money on the 2 occasions that she tried to start a business.
Colene was born in Vancouver BC, Canada and in
teens the family moved to a small town called 100 Mile house BC at age 16,
at about age 17 she knew she wanted to work from home, but didn’t know how to
go about it, she ventured into a few different career choices such as an
Early Childhood Education Certificate, an Administrative Certificate and
finally in 2005 becoming a Dental Assistant and in 2010 getting her certification
for Dental Assisting which I might add was all done by correspondence while
working and raising 2 kids. During the process of getting her Dental Assistant Certification
in 2010; she had a website call Sexy Souls Lingerie and Shoes was designed
and put together by her, this site was done on an affiliate program. She
enjoyed doing this very much and had hopes that she could eventually work from
home, but eventually her time became limited as she was a single parent by this
time and raising a son and daughter and working in nearby small town, commuting
two hours a day for work as a Certified Dental Assistant, however her time
became limited until eventually she took down the site and concentrated on her
career as a Certified Dental Assistant, and worked as a Dental Assistant for 11
years.
In December
of 2015 Colene, was in contact with a childhood crush Gordie McEwen who she had
grown up with… dirt biking, camping and hang out with, her Mom and Dad had gone
to school with his mom and dad and had grown up from infancy to about the age
of 15, until they moved to 100 Mile House. After that she saw maybe 5 times
over the next 35 years, the last time they met was at a mutual friend’s celebration
of life in 2003. This brings us to December of 2015 it was Christmas …Boxing
Day to be exact, she was surfing Facebook, and came across Gordie’s middle
bother Marty Facebook profile and friended him hoping that maybe she would come
across Geordie’s profile… but no luck, she wondered what he had been up to? Later
on Boxing Day she received a friend request from Darren, Gordie’s youngest
brother… while snooping through his profile she came across Gordie’s profile
and sent him friend request.... and she waited approximately an hour and
checked to see if he had accepted her friend request. He had! Then the bubble Facebook
Messenger popped up, and it was him asking how she had been… they started
talking and he reminiscing about their first kiss, at his grandparents cabin in
Tulameen, he said” hope I didn’t offend anyone … husband or boyfriend?” she
told him “no” she had been on her own for a very long time since she was divorced.
They talked for hours on end everyday all day until the wee hours of the
morning, for close to the next week they discussed meet in a town that was half
way between where they both lived, on New Year’s Day. Then they were talking
one night and he asked her to come see him in Tulameen for New Year Eve, Colene
was a bit unsure asked where she could sleep… he had a guestroom, so she
decided to go, it was the best decision she ever made. Now I’m sure your
wondering how this relates to Frills And Fantasy Boutique? She ended up moving to Tulameen, with the
love of her life. Over the next almost year she tried to find work in a nearby
town about 30 min away, as Tulameen is very small only 250 people, so no luck
with employment, she did some house cleaning to pay her bills, but it wasn’t
enough so she sat down with Gordie and explained that she wanted a online
business, because she felt it would be the best for her situation, and it would
give them the freedom to go camping, take off on the Harley and travel because
she could work from anywhere as long as she had a laptop and if she was lucky
enough and the business did well, perhaps he could work less and they could
spend more time doing the thing they love. Well much to her amazement Gordie
said yes and gave her the money to start her online business… and so Frills And Fantasy Boutique was borne out of love! So now she has a silent partner in
business and a not so silent partner in life and she couldn’t be happier! She
finally found the icing on her cake! Life is good and Fills And Fantasy Boutique is thriving and they are truly living a fantasy.
