Here is a little more about this cute little boutique:
What’s your store name and how long have you been an Etsymom?
MY Store name is Silly Beanz, named after our 3 children who we referred to as "beans" when I was pregnant with them. I've been an "etsymom" for a few months...not sure exactly.
How did you get started as an artist?
I wanted to make clips for my first little girl who has some seriously wild hair!
What sets you apart from other people making similar items?
I like to customize everything as best I can, I pay serious attention to each petal on my hair blossoms, making sure each one sits just right. My best sellers are my hair blossoms and I seem to have a knack for
customers who are looking for multiples of the same item. I've sent flowers to Hawaii for someone's nieces, I've done several for various bridal parties or for the flower girls.
What’s your favorite valentine’s item in your store? I'd have to say the Blushing Pink Hydrangea....it's so precious.
Give us one tip on how you managed to create/sell/manage your store and at the same time be a busy mom?
HA! I create when the kids are asleep, and even then, it's only an hour at a time...I'm so wiped out from all 3 of them (they are ages 4, 2 3/4, and 17 mths).
I manage my store on a daily basis as best I can, making sure orders get out as soon as possible. Luckily, I can print the labels at home and stick it in the mailbox, so technically,
I don't have to leave the house!
