Image by Gemini This is about a business I watched implode—a beautiful dream that got lost along the way. Picture this: a beachside spot on a popular tourist strip. Three talented artists drawing temporary "henna" tattoos and selling touristy apparel. Twenty minutes away, small print shop and store humming along. Three farmers markets every week. The
