How did we start? From the time that I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur, but I was never quite sure what my business was going to be. My grandmothers introduced me to a love of crafting, and for every special holiday they would gift something handmade to me. Receiving their gifts that they spent hours and hours creating always made me feel like the most important thing in their world. I could feel the love that went into it!
After my daughter Ava was born in 2016 I was desperate to figure out a way to stay home with my kids and work from home. I decided to combine my love for making things and my desire to be an entrepreneur. I started selling items I created to friends and family, and in an attempt to help bring in a little more income for our family I sold at craft fairs during my maternity leave. Sadly, it wasn't quite enough to make ends meet which prompted me to give Etsy a try. I was just starting to gain a little momentum when I ran into a road block.
“So…when are you going to get a REAL job?”
One day my (now Ex) husband finally asked, “So…when are you going to get a REAL job?”. Our family needed both of our incomes, and my Etsy business wasn't quite there yet. His question could have taken the wind out of my sails but being as stubborn as I am it just fueled the fire to prove him wrong! I doubled down on all of my efforts. I worked through many sleepless nights and exhausting days trying to work and manage a 2 year old and newborn. Eventually- it paid off! 5 years later Etsy has been my saving grace this year as I navigated a divorce and life on my own as a Mom with 3 little kids (ages 3, 5, and 7).
In 2021 I was able to accomplish my dream to purchase a beautiful shop all on my own to have a bigger and more efficient workspace to work out of. I have a full time team of people (aka the "Dream Team") helping to handcraft our puzzles, banks, and chalkboards.
Thank you so much for allowing us to take this journey with you. Our customers and their families mean the world to me, and I have deep appreciate that you're trusting our small business to make something special for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! -Amanda
