FORT WALTON BEACH Eden Preston had just hosted the second open house for Little Sparrow Gallery when it was shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020.
Preston, 23, already had taken a risk opening the home décor gift shop and art gallery with her parents as backers. And, the space already lived under the radar, tucked off of Eglin Parkway Northeast in a quaint blue house on Irwin Avenue Northeast.
“When you tell a 22-year-old who has invested all of your savings that you re going to be closed and we don t know how long, it was just like, ‘OK, I gotta do something, but I have no idea what to do,” Preston said.
