Rustic Midwest Charm, My Story
Welcome to Rustic Midwest Charm,
Here's an update on my story: I've been battling Heart Valve Disease since 2016, just a year after opening my Etsy shop. I recently had heart valve surgery in 2025, which has presented many complications and challenges. I'm eternally grateful to my surgeon and heart valve team for keeping my heart going. While it's come with its difficulties, I wouldn't trade it. I'm still here, fighting, and will continue to do so.
My shop has been my lifeline and is now my sole income, so keeping it running is my top priority. Each customer means the world to my son and I.
I'm one of the original shops offering hand-stamped penny keychains, starting around 2015. It's wonderful to see this trend grow! I hope to continue making these heartfelt, meaningful gifts for years to come. If you know someone who's had heart surgery, check out my "heart warrior" keychain – a reminder of our strength.
I'm a mother of three inspiring children.
I've loved crafting as long as I can remember. My Grandmother introduced me to crafting, teaching me the joy of creative expression. I've explored various mediums, from ceramics, painting, metalwork to jewelry and hand stamping🔨🪙
Personalized gifts are my favorite to give as well as receive.
Enjoy browsing, and don't forget those special keychain add-ons! They're the perfect finishing touch for gifts. I like tying one on top of a boxed gift or flipping into a gift card for any occasion!
Every order comes in a beautiful organza drawstring bag!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!
Very sincerely,
Kim
