... Stella & Dot

Besides opening up my very own Etsy shop, I've also decided to embark on another business venture.  It involves another passion of mine, which is my passion for fashion.

For those that know me, I'm a simple person that likes simple things.  But little do you know that if you go into my closet, it's filled with dresses/handbags/jewelry/shoes galore.  When you see me though, I hardly ever use these things, and use them only once in awhile.

Before I go into a tangent, I'm now an independent jewelry stylist for stella & dot.  I've never signed up to be a stylist or a salesperson before because I never believed in the product or the business.  But that all changed once I looked at the website and oogled at everything that was being sold.

With that in mind, if you're interested in shopping/browsing around, feel free to visit my stella & dot shop, or if you have any questions feel free to email me at stella.and.dot.anne [at] gmail.com.

... Etsy

I've forever been a fan of Etsy.  And, for the longest time, I've wanted to have my own shop.  Since I was young in grammar school, I had this creative side of me that I yearned to express.  In 7th grade, I was selected to be a part of a Talented and Gifted program for Art.  And in 8th grade, I continued to be a part of that program.

Going into high school, I still loved art but was slowly discovering other things that I enjoyed like socializing, dancing, and meeting new people.  The love for those things grew more as I went into college.

Now that I'm 10 years removed from college (can you guess how old I am), that yearning and passion for being creative has come back.  I saw this as an opportunity to bring my creative side come back and pick up more hobbies using that characteristic.

With that in mind, I just opened up my very own Etsy shop.  I basically make baby shower gifts and baby shower gift sets.  All reasonably priced and based on the materials used and time spent on making the product.  I promise that it's not too expensive, and is priced to stay competitive with other Etsy sellers making similar products.  I also make custom products, so if you don't see something but would still like to purchase from my shop, send me a custom request form.  I'm open to new ideas, suggestions, and recommendations.
