Our Story
Hi! Im Victoria, the owner of Chatham Catchalls
What started with hand painted oysters has quickly turned into so much more. Here’s a little backstory on how I got here!
At the beggining of 2026 I was stuck working a full time job at a huge retail store, it paid the bills but it wasnt fufilling in any way..
I also didnt go to college. I was never great at school, cant take tests, cant sit still, and I've always known that I wanted to create a life where I could work for myself and turn my ideas into something real
SO, I quit my full time job but with no plan.... Everyone thought I was crazy, because at 20 years old, with no college degree, how would I accomplish anything?!?
Within 2 weeks of leaving my full time job, I passed my real estate test and became a licensed real estate agent in MA. BUT real estate is a beast and takes time to see any movement. I needed more!
I always joked that I'd somehow always be connected to retail since its all ive known since I was 15, I love love love talking to people and customer connections, so I said F it... Im starting a business
Ive always wanted to start my own business but I never knew in what way or capacity!
So I got to painting, did all the paperwork, and started reaching out to EVERY business along the coast of MA you can think of.
And when the emails/calls started to respond with yes, I knew i made the right decision.
All while popping up and working, ive met some of the BEST people I get to call friends!!! We can lean on eachother when needed and its truly the best!
Ive also met the most incredible customers, who have made this all possible!
All in all...
Be a little delusional
Bet on yourself
Start before you're reading
Take the risk
Figure it out as you go
Keep showing up for yourself
