Hi! My name is Janna Perry. I am an artist/designer living on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. More specifically, I live on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. In 2009, I started my first Etsy shop with my daughter. Back then, we had a forum on Etsy where people would put requests for someone to make something for them. So I made a lot of different things for people, from custom dresses to Custom-designed blankets to bingo tool carrying cases. I was all over the place! My daughter eventually tired of making jewelry and I moved on to making home goods such as uniquely designed potholders and kitchen linens, table napkins and such. I designed a unique grocery bag holder that I made with designer fabrics and that went really well. I moved on to making custom stuffed items. I had requests for stuffed garbage cans, fans, trees, and even hospital equipment. That always kept me thinking and designing and busy and I loved it. Then one day I had a request for a cheeseburger backpack. It was for a child who loved the show Steven Universe. So I made that. Then I got more requests for that. That line took off and I was continually busy making cheeseburger backpacks and messenger bags. I really enjoyed it for a while and business was good. I have always been proud of my work because it's not only novelty items, but the quality of my workmanship was always a priority.
Just as this was getting too big for me to handle, my dream job landed in my lap. I had the opportunity to become a costume designer/creator for a large local theatre group. Designing costumes and then bringing them to life was something I had only dreamed I would ever get to do. I jumped at the chance to do this and what fun I had! I loved every bit of it, from the designing/painting/drawing stages to the final curtain call. It was wonderful! For health reasons, I sadly decided to step down. Then Covid happened. Inspired by my best friends' beautiful pets, (whom I am in love with, but to whom I am very unfortunately allergic), I decided to begin making gifts and clothing for pets. I love designing and my fancy dresses are one-of-a-kind. I look forward to getting custom requests for personalized and special pet gifts.
Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my shop! If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message.
I wish you the very best.
