2021 was the year I got serious about my side gig(s)!
I registered my business at the county recorder’s office in February and hit the ground running!
I’ve had some fails, I’ve over ordered inventory and sold out over night. I’ve cried happy tears and frustration tears. I totally changed gears and I’ve tried new things! Ive gotten rejected and I’ve established some great business relationships along the way.
Thank you to everyone who has ordered from my shop, read my blog, or told a friend about my biz.
Most of all, thank you to my mom for supporting me in every way, whether helping with new designs, modeling, picking up inventory, or offering me her many years of business experience, she’s been there every step of the way and encouraged me to branch into the quilting/sewing market which has proven to be extremely successful.
I’ve got big goals for 2021 and am proud to say I KEPT my New Years resolution of getting better at keeping track of stuff for TAXES! I’m also working with a business coach quarterly and I’m super excited to have her on my team!
Out of all the businesses I’ve started, (antiques, LuLaRoe etc.) this one seems to be sticking
I am pretty bummed to announce that I did have to slightly increase some of my prices. Just like everything else in the world, tee shirt prices across all brands have gone up as of January 1st by 30% – we knew they would go up slightly but HOLY COW. I’m really sorry to have to do this, I hope you can understand.

Congratulations on finding your niche!! I know I love the shirts and sweatshirt I have ordered from you and look forward to showing them off on a cross-country trip to be at the promotion ceremony for my daughter being made a Master Sargeant!! I’ll get to see all my kids on this trip and I’m praying for good weather (but getting new snow tires on my truck).
