As they say in the restaurant world, I had a soft opening the other day to my new etsy shop. In fact it is still rather soft as I am busy taking photos of the barrettes with Lola and her lovely friends as my models. New sale items will be posted soon. I am happy to report that I got my first wholesale order the very day I opened the site though! Okay, I’ll admit the order was placed by my dear friend Jeannine who owns this lovely shop in Port Townsend, WA. It is a legitimate order though and I am hopeful that my little venture will be successful. Thanks Jeannine!
Here are some of the photos I’ve snapped…
I started this blog for a few reasons. My life now is different from what I would have predicted a few years ago. It is great and I could not ask for more but life is ever changing. I get to stay at home to raise Lola and that is a luxury I am grateful to Jeff for. My job as a mama never stops and I am trying to find little ways here and there to open myself up creatively. I have struggled with feeling like I am not able to express the person I see myself as often enough though. This is something I am sure everyone goes through and for new mamas this is especially true. So by keeping this blog I will hopefully push myself to create and explore more.
In the last six months I have been cooking and baking a lot more which always makes me happy. I also knitted a lot this winter and have started sewing more. I have made some clothes for Lola and her friends as well as some of her dolls! The dolls are modeling in the first photo above. The barrettes were something that I decided I wanted to make for friends as gifts. I got such positive feedback about them I thought that I should try to sell some.
My friends know that I am always scheming about one business idea or another. I usually talk myself out of them though because my goals are too unrealistic or I am not stupid enough to try them. This Etsy shop is something I can handle for now though. My good friend Leah (check out her cool blog and shop) has also pushed me to start a blog and store. Thanks for the push, kind words and guidance!
So we’ll see where this takes me. Thanks for following along.
Check back soon for updates!
