Elle McGlockin’s business plan for Over-Joyed focused on establishing a bakery and café that would be located in the Seattle-area and would provide quality and tasteful beverages and pastries, as well as baking/cooking classes taught by individuals well educated in food industry.  Over-Joyed would offer quality products, a welcoming environment and top-notch customer service. 

Mermaid Tears is a business developed by Heavyn Olea and Chantell Schultz.  This business would produce custom jewelry made from completely natural sea glass.  The name of this business is derived from the notion that sea glass is said to be the tears of a mermaid.
