I've finally done it. I've taken the leap. After almost a year of dreaming, scheming, and obsessing I have officially started my very own jewelry business. Welcome to the world Ivy Haus Designs!
How did this come about? Simple, really. I watched a friend from high school build her jewelry business. (Check her out: www.diamentdesigns.com). She taught me a thing or two and I helped her sell her pieces at craft fairs in the city over the summer. She was super supportive, I was super inspired. She helped me buy the supplies to make jewelry for the ladies in my wedding party. After designing and creating the jewelry for my wedding I was hooked. I made a few more pieces for my self and some for my grandmother for Christmas. A few months later with a gentle nudge from my husband I finally decided to push the self doubt and fears of failure aside and just give it a try.
...So, stay tuned. I expect to have my etsy shop up and running in a few weeks and I hope to be selling at some street fairs in Manhattan in early April!!!
The items I ordered from Meg at Ivy Haus are lovely. Two chaos ball necklaces (one silver, one gold) for my daughters, and I can't wait to see their smiles when they receive them!
ReplyDeleteMy order arrived swiftly, and well-packaged. Everything was as I anticipated. I look forward to ordering more Ivy Haus designs, and recommend them to anyone looking for intersting, classy jewelry designs.
