Shoppe3130 started when our oldest son was less than a year old. I, (Jenny talking here), came home from a job I loved to be a stay at home mama. Funny thing- I didn't know what to do with myself- and my free time! So I started sewing - for fun. Then a dear friend asked me to make some tutu costumes for her grand daughters. So I did. They were cute...and fun! And so I thought, "why not add them to Etsy?" So I did. I sold a hundred the first Halloween season!!!

So as time went on I realized this "Etsy" was becoming not only a great source for a creative outlet for this stay at home mama... It was also providing for our family. As the years have passed Shoppe3130 has become our families primary source of income. Crazy - what started as a hobby is now both mine and my husand's full time job!

We are totally living the dream! We don't drive fancy cars- actually we drive a mini van- but hey- I didn't say we were living the American Dream- we are living our dream... With our 4 kids!!!! And not only do my husband and I get to work together - we also have a team of 9 other people working with us! Y'all - This is our "real" job!

Jesse, my husband, now leads our production and shipping team. He takes care of our Etsy orders most days. Our Etsy has grown into a much bigger business than what you see here. We also started a Boutique - you can check out our boutique (where you will also find many of our Etsy items) at www.shoppe3130.com or visit our store in person if you are even in North Augusta, South Carolina - at 510 West Ave. We also have an app you can download and shop from.

I still get to do a lot of the creating - which is hands down my favorite thing to do - but I also manage our boutique and online store and well.

AND we started a Boutique Bus in 2020! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see more about our bus, boutique, and online store, as well as our Etsy.

I am so thankful for Etsy, who is always striving to make this platform better for us as a seller and our customers as buyers. I'm thankful that Etsy was such a great place to start my business! However, I am most thankful for our sweet customers who give us reasons to create and ways to celebrate!

I'm also thankful for my main squeeze- the Shoppe Bae - Jesse- for letting me dream, letting me wreck our normal life, letting me take chances, saying yes against all odds and even joining into the beautiful chaos of this business we have made. Of course our littles are our favorite little test market, our biggest cheerleaders and biggest fans - they are the reason I keep creating and love what I do. I'm so thankful God called me home. I never imagined this plan but I sure do love it!

Jesse and I feel so blessed that we get to work together, create together, and dream together. Thanks for being a big part of that becoming our reality!

By the way- our name- Shoppe3130- is from one of my favorite Bible scriptures....
Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last but the woman that fears the Lord will be uplifted. (Paraphrased from Psalm 31:30)

Making Life More Fun-
Jenny (and Jesse Elliott)
