Sunday was heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. Since losing Trent, it seems everything has taken on that dual role.
I think life will forever feel like this mixture of beauty and sadness together without him here. The world was better because he was in it.

He would have truly loved Sunday. It was a Beautiful day filled with so many of the people he loved. Giving him over to the ocean felt right and peaceful.

Thank you to everyone who was there. Thank you for loving him and continuing to honor him in countless ways.
I can’t even tell you what it means to a Mother to have people love her child so big ... even after he’s gone.

Trent told me once that he didn’t understand why people didn’t want to live their life in such a way that when they are gone, all people would remember was “What a Great Guy”
I’m so proud of him and how he touched everyone he came in contact with. He made everyone feel important and loved. We should all Love Like Trent.

It feels like a lifetime since I’ve been in his presence.
I imagine his big smile and his lift me off the ground hugs when I see him again one day. When all this time and pain without him will disappear.
The day my heart unbreaks

Love Like Trent
Live Like Trent
Long Live Trent

One of Trent’s Academy Brothers was given Trent’s Helmet this week to carry with him and keep over the weekend. He and his sweet Girlfriend came to the Outer Banks and remembered that I had a shop in Kitty Hawk. They took the time to take this Beautiful picture, sent it to me and shared the story of their trip and the things that led them to my door.

It means more than anyone will ever know that the SFR as well as all of Trent’s friends, continue to remember and honor him the way that they do. The messages that I receive from friends with stories about Trent or what they’ve been inspired to do because of his loss blesses and amazes me. I never knew your heart could be broken and full all at the same time.

I will cherish this sweet picture forever. Like many others recently, they reminded me that Trent was so proud of my shop and was always telling people about it. I’ve had a lot of people tell me that Trent wouldn’t want me to close it. It has definitely crossed my mind a lot but I could just hear him saying
“It’s okay Mommas, you do what you need to do” and I’ve had peace about it. This felt like a message from him saying just that.

I’ve come to realize that God sends us signs to comfort us and remind us that they’re okay. Till I see you again in Heaven Sweet Boy. 💙🕊

Hey Friends. I have a bittersweet update on The Salty Gypsea. I will be closing the storefront in Kitty Hawk at the end of June.

Something unexpectedly fell into place that has allowed me to close the store and take some much needed time to heal with my family. Thank you all so much for the continued love and prayers since the loss of my sweet Trent.

Your prayers and a Faithful God have carried me through the darkest months of my life. I’m prayerfully seeking His plan for me and I know He’ll guide me and I’ll find my way again.

A special shout out to all the friends and family who helped keep the doors open and held me and the shop together when I couldn’t. I love you and thank you will never be enough!

Since the very first event as a Mobile Boutique almost 5 years ago, my favorite part of this adventure has always been all the friends I have made along the way. 💜 I will truly miss your faces but I will see you again soon!!

I was working toward some new ideas for The Salty Gypsea before Trent’s accident and I hope to focus on that again in the near future. I choose to hope and believe that this will be a new beginning for the Gypsea, so this is not goodbye.

In the meantime, everything is on clearance and I’ll also be posting some fixtures and decor for sale in the coming week(s) Thank you again for all the love & support!

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. Old man winter is back and so is our winter clothing sale. Due to our circumstances, we have lots of winter clothing that needs to go 🙃 Be on the lookout in our stories for lots of $40 and under sales.

I know we’ve been absent and the store has been closed since the first of the year. I want to apologize to everyone who has come by to visit, only to find that we were not here. I promise to be more transparent and to keep you posted about our future plans as things progress.
In all honesty, It wasn’t our plan to reopen this year. Due to some disparity in our lease, it looks like we may be here through this year.
I’m trying to get things straight and will post a schedule soon. I want to thank you all for your messages of love and support during this unthinkable time. 💜
Love, Carla
