My business began as a hobby, it went from being named Dainty Creations to a name change of Dainty Boutique. I was never able to stick to one particular craft, it just made things more interesting for me to work on a variety of items. I have a deep-rooted plan for my business and once the funds allow it, it will truly be something unique; something I can't quite share with anyone yet. Until then, I have decided to go mobile with my shop. I've done a lot of traveling, and enjoyed it very much. So, I thought, what a great idea this would be; it is like me to not stick to one form. So, why would I want to ground myself in one specific place... And so, this is where my venture of Dainty Boutique on wheels begins.
I am filled with so much glee, and am so very much excited to begin it. But I want to share this with my fans, my customers, my friends, my family and anyone who will be involved in any way possible. First let me thank you in advance, I will forever be in your debt.
For the past 5 years I have been a WAHM (work at home mom) to two children. Between breaks, crafty mommy ideas, a great hubby, and help from relatives and friends, I have been able to work on my business and fulfill orders as much as possible. Sometimes orders went out late (*waves* to those customers - my apologies again and a big TY for your awesome patience). But I always got them done! Yay.
I think it is now time to take the next of many steps. But due to some difficult hurdles, I cannot do this on my own and am reaching out to anyone and everyone for a little help. We all know that saying; "When life throws you lemons, make lemonade!" And that is exactly my motto for this new venture.
My Fiance has a Wells Cargo enclosed trailer that he uses for work and to trek our motorcycles when we go out of town. Well, I was originally looking into buying an old beat up ice cream truck, but then realized why would I spend money on that when the trailer can be "glamified". Well, with lots of hugs, kisses, giving extra gaming time and showing puppy eyes 24/7 ,I convinced him to let me transform that trailer into a fabulous boutique! I am so excited, and have all my expenses, decor and ideas planned out. Now it's a matter of making it happen, and I am 100% determined.
So the concept of this Boutique will be to travel to different sites, especially colleges and street fairs. Go out of town to different states, host parties, host craft classes. The trailer will be filled with most of my handmade creations, as well as other local crafters' items. Some Art work from fellow Artist friends. Some clothing and fabulous jewelry.
The trailer requires a lot of work and I need to clean it up. Any volunteers to help me in that process? =D heheh
Next step will be to paint it, put up some beautiful wall paper, get vinyl sticker for my logo, hunt for some old bookcases and shelving that I can renovate myself. So much to do, but at least all the business paperwork is under control!
**A drawn vision of this dream is soon to follow, STAY TUNED**
