I was born and raised in Charleston, SC, and I wouldn't change it for anything! I am very much a southern girl loving all things monogrammed! My husband and I still live here and we have one daughter, Maggie Claire who is 20 months old. {We are praying for a baby #2 to come along any time now... lol} My husband Mike works at Seacoast Church as a family ministry pastor, and we love doing ministry together! To read more about me, you can follow my personal blog here.
When I was a young girl I would go with my memaw to craft fairs. My memaw made handmade things and sold them, and she sold some crazy things! I guess melting plastic squares and making them into earrings was cool in the 90s, anybody else know what I'm talking about? haha Anyways, I definitely inherited my creativity from my mom and grandma, and a lot of times, my mom is the one that gives me ideas of new things in my shop.
I started off doing painting in college, and then some baking, and then making hairbows, so after 4 years of doing a bunch of random handmade things, I have finally found my niche in sewing. I just recently opened my etsy shop 6 months ago in January 2012, and my prayer this year is to always remember to give God the glory for every sale and email inquiry that I receive. In November of last year, I saved up enough money to buy an embroidery sewing machine. I never really thought I would actually be selling monogrammed and personalized items, but it's real life now and I am enjoying every minute of it!
In my shop I have everything from embroidered appliqued baby onesies, hand towels, monogrammed straw hats, ipad cases, and I recently just added personalized chevron pillow slipcovers! My slogan is "cuteness for all occasions", and hopefully you'll think so too!
