First time blogger here! Scary & excited. I have a friend that blogs and hers are amazing so I have big shoes to follow ;)
Owning a children's boutique had been a dream of mine since I was very young. I remember shopping with my mom in a cute boutique in Visalia (believe it was Bumble Bee's). Not only was I checking out the goods but I walked around admiring the store fixtures and design. For some reason I recall a tree. Maybe a picture or a display but the tree sticks out in my mind. From that childhood memory I created Twiggs (get it the tree memory I had).
After having our second son, we decided that I would become a DUN!, DUN!, DUN! - STAY AT HOME MOM! For all of you that know me, this was a huge deal. I am not a home body. It lasted a handful of months before I was given the green light, by my loving husband, to start my venture. Then sprouted Twiggs! Since we live in the Hanford area it only made sense to open it in the adorable downtown area. We opened just before Christmas and WOW was business booming. I have to mention my very first customer was Amie A. who is still a good friend. Three years passed and Twiggs was hanging on through the hard times of our wonderful economy (sarcasm) but, the hardest part was juggling the store and two growing boys! My boys, of course, are my world so having to miss taking them to birthday parties, watching them play sports & all the other things boys do, was NOT going to happen. As it grew more and more difficult I had to make a change. It was SO VERY DIFFICULT for me to come to the conclusion of closing the store front but, it was a must.
I love creating things! So off I go to the world of crafty creations which is leading me to this blog! FB has been a great media for sharing my items and getting some cool custom orders (birthday outfits are the craze).
Well, thats me in a "nut shell". I look so forward to blogging.
Thanks for reading!
