Starlight Woods began in September of 2011. After a summer of crazy storms our neighborhood was littered with fallen tree branches. With the power out for a week from the latest storm we were left with a lot of time on our hands. My girls and I have always loved using found objects to create. All the fallen tree branches seemed destined to be used. We started out making key chains, painting, decoupaging, stamping, we would sit at our kitchen table for hours creating. Watching our process develop, we realized that our pieces could become something more, so we started creating jewelry, necklaces, earrings, rings and it became clear that if we loved our creations, others may too.

After doing some research for an online marketplace to sell, I found Etsy. I quickly opened up a shop and started listing our pieces... and they started selling! About 6 months later, we were contacted by Real Simple magazine, they wanted to feature one of my rings in their August 2012 issue. This is when my dreams for my small family run business grew in leaps and bounds. At this point we got busy, working all hours creating and building inventory all while working another full time job. I was without a doubt burning the candle at both ends. After a year of insanity I finally decided in September of 2012 that it was time to quit my day job and focus full time on Starlight Woods. We have been living the dream ever since :)
