We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Tesauro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Starting a business for me was a little bit more than just making the difficult decision of leaving my automotive career but it was a complete lifestyle change. I had lost my father to cancer in 2019 and realized life is short and wasn’t worth wasting in a career that no longer made me happy. I took note of all I learned and all that I loved and now I get to implement all of it in my daily life. The name Drops of Jupiter Made came to me effortlessly when trying to pinpoint my “niche” & the song “Tell me” by Train repetitively spun in my head like a cosmic sign. Now obviously I’m biased, growing up in Jupiter in love with that song! Little did I know, when I looked up the writers inspiration I learned it was written about the lead singers mother who passed of cancer. He had a dream that she traveled the Galaxy and came back to tell him that heaven is overrated and to live the life you have TODAY he then woke up and wrote the song in 15mins. Sooooo undeniably similar to my situation at the time I decided that moment it was an all or nothing situation and I never looked back! My dream is to share my life experiences, lessons, & travels I make through the multi medium artwork I make. You can often find me set up shop in the back of my Jeep Wrangler at various events.

What should our readers know about your business?
Souvenirs are my favorite! I love to create functional & decorative memories through handmade souvenirs & giftables and I aim to educate others about Floridas culture, natural history & wildlife.

 

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
A weekend at Tiffany’s? You’re asking the right girl!

Breakfast:

Taylor ham, egg & cheese on croissants from Maplewood bagels

Craft lattes from I Need Coffee

Jupiter Donuts if you have a sweet tooth like me!

Lunch: Tequesta Table – Hoboken or the Chicken Salad (but like seriously everything is amazing)

Guanabanas…Just because you can’t do a trip to Jupiter without Guanabanas

Or the obvious DUNE DOGS!

Activities: Boat day to Trapper Nelson’s for some unique Florida history and a quick snorkel at Catos Bridge

I also love a cruise with my friends on the Pontiki!

If you love thrill seeking like me then 11 out of 10 recommend Shark Tours FL for the most Florida experience you’ll never forget!

Shopping at Ocean Magic Surf ( their monthly pop up market if applicable) And Boujee Bath Cottage for some souvenirs!

Dinner & Night Cap:

My top 2 restaurants are a 30+ minute drive south to West Palm Beach. Kapow Asian Fusion & Malakor Thai Restaurant but the Jupiter tour guide thing to do would be go to Utiki or Square Grouper for a night view of the lighthouse or any of the “Little Moirs “ restaurants like Food Shack. (sweet potato crusted fish & Indoroni – you’ll thank me later )

 

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The Artist Alley Collective. Without the encouragement from this group of local artists, to showcase my art at this event for the first time back in 2018 I would have never been where I am today. 5 years later and I am now a co-owner of that very collective and I get to pass down knowledge and help upcoming artists like myself! I am so blessed to have them!
