THE TEAM


I still remember this day. We thought we were so funny all buttoned up in Mom's coat. Well, it didn't always stay that way. As a lot of sister do, we went through a "love hate" relationship through out teens. As we got older we grew closer again and had some really great and crazy times together. Then came time for us to start our families and chaos ensued. It has been a roller coaster ever since. It was hard to believe that my wild little sis had her family and was sewing and painting and making beautiful things from garage sale finds. Meanwhile, I had my own thing going on. My husband worked days and I bartended at night so that one of us could always be home with the kids. I was slinging drinks and Jen was creating art. We both did what was best for our families. I knew that is was time for me to start thinking about a change so I took that leap of faith. It was not a hard decision and it was one of the best ones I ever made. Jen and I are so alike and so different all at the same time. We get a long great and spend so much of our day laughing and giggling about the stuff that only sisters could understand.
We work the business around our families and that is so important to us. We have a lot of big dreams and with God on our side we know we handle anything that comes our way!

The Studio


We have been through a lot of growing pains, rearranging, organizing and of course decorating to make our studio a fun and inspirational place to work. It is a never ending project but that is good because it means we are constantly growing. I couldn't ask for a better place to work and play. I say play because we have so much fun that it doesn't seem like a job. Over the next few weeks we will be giving you a glimpse into our studio and our lives. It is important for us to feel that connection with our customers and readers which is hard to do when our business is 99% online sales. We converse through emails and occasionally phone calls with customers when helping to create the perfect event. Mostly are orders are just a name on the screen and we have to use our imaginations to picture the type of event they may be having. Our main purpose in sharing our workspace with you is to bring you into our world for a moment. Even though we may have only an image in our mind of the person that belongs to the name we take pride and enjoy knowing we have helped make that special day or event even better. Nothing goes out our door unless it is perfect and if you know my sister you know that statement is 100 percent true! Thanks for coming back and reading our blog and please return soon so we can share a little bit of our sunshine with you!! Dawn
