Since 2014!?

 Ok. So being consistent is not one of my strong suites. But luckily because of technology, I can prove that yes, I have had these ideas and did something with them now and again, SINCE 2014. 

One lady was making a bunch of little snowmen and needed some carrot noses for them.

Another sewed gnome figurines and was doing some chef themed gnomes. She needed  giant clay cookies to go with her idea. 

My grandma still wanted to keep up the tradition of an ornament each year for her unmarried grandkids. She has ten left. I customized a unique and personal design for her to give to them for Christmas. 

My darlings have their favorite animals. They also see ideas that they want for their own. So I make some for them. They also wear some of the jewelry at school and kids ask where they got them from. 

Our family friends were nice enough to let me sell my stuff when she does her booths at 4 different craft fairs at the end of the year. 

I was brave enough to call the boutique and they were accepting new venders. 

See?! Baby steps... better than no steps at all.

Poky Dot Boutique!!

 Pocatello Idaho. The Gate City of the Wild West.

I first moved her a year ago. We loved driving around and seeing what was in our new town called home. When I first saw this shop it made my heart jump and the name made me SO happy since one of Pocatello’s nicknames is Poky. THEN when I went in, I realized it was a year round craft fair. That made me even HAPPIER! Then when I called out of the blue, they said they were accepting new venders. So..

 I will be selling my merchandise at the Poky Dot Boutique. Sue manages this shop and she is the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet. People like her are the reason I love supporting Mom and Pop shops/local businesses. 

You can find their store on 201 N Main Street  Pocatello ID 83204  

There I’ll have a variety of items including earrings, keychains, magnets, kid’s toy clay food and ornaments.  

This is a bucket list project and I hope it ends up being a positive experience for me and those inspired and excited about supporting small business and the local creative mind.
