MY JOURNEY
OVER 13 YEARS
I have been a crafting artist since my grade school years, tinkering around with different arts & craft projects along the way and collecting the supplies needed as I would come across them. Doing this for so many years helped me and actually prepared me for my future, without me even knowing it!
I began my journey as a small business owner on May 20th, 2011 as a ladies boutique that carried handmade jewelry & gift items for the most part. In collecting the previously spoken about items, I was able to keep my overhead costs low and create almost 80% of my shops jewelry inventory that showcased my own creativity and designs. I gradually moved forward with refinishing select furniture pieces that desperately needed a facelift and that is when I found something that I never knew that I had…I found inner peace! I seem to always find that peace when I am making or re-creating something into something unique and beautiful for myself or for someone else to enjoy all over again and THAT is what inspired our UGLY DUCKLING DIVISION!
I phased out of being a ladies boutique after 6 1/2 years & into being more of a vintage & antique shop, due to my fondness of mid century and victorian era styles but we do however carry items from other eras as well. The Vintage Shop now offers so much more of “a little bit of everything & a little bit of something for everyone” in its shopping experience, including my handmade & hand crafted items, which can be purchased in-store as well as online at our sister site https://www.madefromfaith.com/
