Hello
there shabby style chic Lovers. My name is Jennifer. I am the
Proprietress of
this website and online store. I have been in business for 11 years now. It
is my passion and desire to make all things beautiful in which were
discarded and unwanted. My husband use to say I could make ugly look
beautiful.
Taking old wood,
thrown out furniture, salvaged architectural items and transforming
into what you find here. This store's inventory is 75% handmade or
repurposed items. There is a very feminine and romantic feel in all of
these items. With using the vintage materials, everything is chippy
and shabby with the look of true vintage.
I have loved doing
this from the minute I started. I started in my garage making a
single item for myself. When a neighbor saw what I had done, she
wanted one for herself and commissioned me to build the same table for
her. Well, a friend of hers wanted one, then I found eBay. I sold on
eBay for a long time all the while I was working a full time job.
Pretty soon I was making as much money selling on eBay as I was
bringing home a paycheck. So eventually I quit getting a regular
paycheck and built the website. It was so much fun the very
first time I got an order. I just couldn't believe it.
Then several years
went by and I needed a larger place to hold everything I was building.
So having a store front kind of sounded good. But recently due to poor
economy, the decision of closing my store had to become real. So it's
back to selling strictly online. Bit I do love that too. I still feel
that sometimes I am living in a fairytale life. It is a gift from God
that I am able to do something with my hands and love every minute of
it. I thank Him daily for it.
I work with elderly
during the week with my CNA job. I have a sweet little dog that keeps
me on my toes too. I just can't stay busy enough.
I thank you for
visiting my website. Located in beautiful
North Carolina
