With its pop art David Bowie print hanging on the wall, blankets from the African Maasai tribe and pillows with sassy sayings in loopy cursive, it\u2019s no surprise that owner Shannon Foley Henn calls the pieces in her boutique, Uptripping, \u201cart and furnishings for the adventurous.\u201d <\/p>\n

Uptripping, located in downtown Winter Park, was named best art gallery and best furniture store, moving up from second place spots in both categories last year. Henn thinks it\u2019s thanks to the store\u2019s one-or some-of-a-kind pieces. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most common thing we hear is, \u2018Thank you for being here,\u2019 because we\u2019re definitely a different flavor for mountain furniture and mountain artwork,\u201d Henn said. <\/p>\n

The boutique features artists\u2019 works from every corner of the globe, including as local as Henn\u2019s own work. Her collection is born out of her passion for traveling and the connections she has made all over the world. <\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes art galleries can be intimidating to go into and we really hope we\u2019ve created a space that\u2019s not intimidating, it\u2019s just fun and there\u2019s something for everyone,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Henn said she always knows she is doing a good job picking pieces to feature in her store when customers\u2019 giggles are a constant background noise. <\/p>\n

Inspiring people to do \u201cfunky things with their things\u201d is Henn\u2019s ultimate goal. \u201cI love when people come in and find a piece of art and I get to know that person and I get to know where that artwork goes to live,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Another way Uptripping help makes that happen is by building community through its First Friday events, where they partner with the surrounding businesses to put on live music, food and drinks and feature local art. Then the proceeds go to a local charity. <\/p>\n

Henn said it\u2019s very exciting for people to enjoy the store so much that it won first place in two categories. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first opened, Sky-Hi asked me what our measurement of success was and I said the answer to that is that people pop in every week to see what\u2019s new,\u201d she said. \u201cThe exciting thing is that has happened.\u201d <\/p>\n
