MAMAnSOPH

LouTinen Events was our original Etsy shop in the LTE family. My sister Renee and I started out in 2005 as a papery, selling custom invitations for all events. In 2010, we opened our LTE papery shop. Renee and I absolutely LOVE throwing parties! Whether it be one of our kid's birthdays or a baby shower for a friend, we can never get enough of it. The products in our shop were hand selected or hand made by each of us and added to the shop for our buyers to love as much as we do.

After having our first babies, we decided to convert our shop in to a supply store with some hand-made items. There wasn't nearly enough time to fill all of our custom requests. With that, we became a vintage-inspired papery supply. We loved that we were still able to use our creative side, but also allow ourselves time to care for our families.

In 2012, we added a new shop to Etsy called Emmy&Soph. We sold a large supply of ribbons and trims for all events and crafts. Renee took over the LTE papery and I ran Emmy&Soph.

In 2014, Renee took a break from the shop to spend time with her new little one. From that point on, I took over both of our shops full time. I eventually combined both shops into one to have all of our supplies in one space online. After many years of running our shop, I made the decision to step away for a bit in 2021. I had been working full time as well and our family grew by one more. I wanted to focus on our growing family.

Since 2010, I have loved helping our customers create unique pieces for their events and shops. Now that little man is growing up, mama needed to get crafty again. Along with my daughter (Soph), we have reopened our little shop and renamed it mamaNsoph. We will be offering handmade home and party decor for all seasons and hope they bring you as much joy as they bring to us creating them. We will also be adding some vintage collection pieces as well for all of you collectors.

A huge thank you to all of our customers for your support in our small business!

Best wishes,
Shannon
