A year ago, I began to try my hand at wire crochet jewelry. I had seen a tutorial on the internet, and thought it was something that I could handle.
I made a necklace set for a friend, who loved about it. Then, I made a necklace set for my mom, who also loved it. She wore her necklace to the local senior center, and lo and behold- one of the ladies there wanted to buy a piece from me! I was shocked and flattered.
I began to make jewelry, specifically for my mom to wear to the senior center. Her amazing sales skills sold several pieces. That's when I decided to try to open an Etsy store. The first day, I listed a rainbow wire crochet necklace and a leather bracelet, and they both sold within an hour! That got my fire going, and now I enjoy spending my free time making jewelry.
My mom knits and crochets as her hobby. She began knitting winter headbands for women, which flew out of the Etsy store. It was exciting to sell headbands all over the country- and even to Australia! She branched out into designing hats and booties for babies, and so our store grew and grew.
I also began listing some of my teenage daughter's digital prints, from a photography class she had taken. I think she has special talent that is growing, and I hope to make her a bigger part of the store as time goes on.
So, that's our story! This store has been a fantastic hobby that has brought my mother and I closer, and given us both lots of happiness. Thank you so much for visiting!
