I have always been crafty; I inherited the gene from my mother. Here's a brief glimpse into the history of my shop.

In 2008, before my 4th child was born, I began making headbands and hairbows and soon noticed the same supplies everywhere: it seemed only similar colors and prints were what was available. I wanted to stand out from the crowd! I saw the tremendous need for affordable, quality and diverse supplies. I then dabbled in supplies-- namely non stick grips, alligator clips, ribbon etc. I scoured the internet and sourced elastic, feathers, flowers and more, building relationships with overseas manufacturers while securing the best possible price for them.

In 2010, I custom dyed skinny elastic, lace and flowers to provide variety to my customers.

Over the years, I have carried many products and in various venues, as I tested and determined which product(s) I wanted to carry in my shop, as well as balancing family with business. I have never had tremendous capital to invest, but what I have lacked in bulk variety, I have made up for in the highest quality product, excellent customer service and reliability with what I have to offer. I am always looking to provide new supplies to my customers, but my core supplies of fold over elastic (FOE), skinny elastic (SE) and feathers (marabou, ostrich) remain my shop's most popular staples. I personally examine my stock and will not ship out a product that I myself would not like to receive.

My family comes first, and I am blessed to have their support and blessing to pursue my business...which in turn, with low prices and quality supplies, supports yours!
