Here is a bit about Amanda:
1. Please tell us a little bit about yourself. I am a mom of 2. I started making bows when I was 10 and made them for all the kids in my neighborhood. After my daughter was born I turned my love of working with my hands into a way to be a stay at home mom.
2. What circumstances brought you to opening a shop and selling on Etsy. I loved making bows and decided to try to sell my creations on-line
3. How did you choose the name of your shop? My name is Amanda which means Loveable so I decided on Luvable Creations Boutique
4. Where do you get your inspiration? My sweet daughter Sarah
5. Apart from creating things, what do you do? Play with my almost 2 and 4 year old, Involved in my local church, craft shows.
6. How did you feel when your first item sold I was so excited and though that maybe this was going to be a good way of making a little extra for my family.
7. How long have you been selling on Etsy? I have been selling on etsy for almost a year and a half.
8. Do you have a day job or is Etsy it for you? Etsy turned out to be such an amazing thing for my business that I had to move my shop out of my house and into a local store front because it was taking my house over. I now have a two story shop with my work area and play room upstairs and store front downstairs
9. Do you sell your products elsewhere, or only on Etsy? I am currently on etsy, in my local store, and I also sell to many boutiques all over the world. I plan to try new avenues of growing my business even more in the near future.
10. What is your favorite item that you sell? I love the real feel peony flowers and huge curly ostrich puffs.
11. If you could give any advice to someone aspiring to sell on Etsy, what would it be? Love what you are doing and let it show in everything you do. Have great customer service. Make sure that you have really high quality so people will want to continue shopping with you in the future.
These are the awesome clippies that Amanda sent us. They are so stinkin cute! I love the crochet clips. Amanda added slip resistant pads to the clips so that they are extra secure in her hair.
Emma, however, thought that the flowers were very "petty." That means pretty in English. She even attempted to smell them and said they smelt good. HAHA. I was very impressed with the quality of the flowers. They are very realistic looking. The petals are attached very securely to the clip, which is very important with 2 year old fingers.
This headband has to be the cutest thing ever. This will go perfect with several church dresses. But I can also dress it down by removing the puff and adding a less frilly clippy. The puff is awesome. The quality is above and beyond anything similar that I have seen. Amanda takes great care in constructing her headbands. In addition, it fits her head perfectly.
Bet you want one, huh?
Head over to Luvable Creations and pick out your favorite clips and headbands.
Bet you would rather win one, huh?
