Creating personalized items for our customers is special to us. What great jobs we have!
Thread Born Memories was a spin off from my original Etsy Shop, ORomeo which I started in 2010. I had always been fascinated by embroidery and bought my first embroidery machine in 2012. Now I have 2 embroidery machines so I can keep stitching all day!
How did I (or should I say we) get started with Etsy? Like many people in this country we were victims of corporate downsizing. I was in the legal field & DH (dear husband - Robert) was in the chemical industry. Luckily I come from a long line of talented artists/craftsmen. My mother was excellent seamstress and taught me to sew at a very early age. My first shop, ORomeo, was inspired when I helped make a few items for a family wedding and Thread Born Memories was a natural expansion of that business.
♥♥ We are truly an Etsy family.♥♥ DH opened his shop, Winston Glass Works in 2011. He had returned to college after his lay off to finish his degree and needed to help with the bills. His fascination for glass inspired him to open his shop after countless hours studying and experimenting with the process. After a period of time we both ditched the idea of returning to the corporate world and now spend each day working together.
We are truly blessed to have work we both love and the time to spend together building a future. Not many couples could work together 24/7, but we love it.
♥♥Here's a big Texas Thank You to our customers and Etsy!♥♥
