Etsy Rock Stars Feature Friday
Today's Feature Friday is....
.jpg)
Calico Palace Shop is a collaboration between a mom and her two daughters.
Penny, Crystal, and Nicole.
They are located in Richmond,VA
✩✩✩ What is/was your inspiration?
We get a lot of our inspiration from Victorian, Rococo, and industrial steampunk fashions.
✩✩✩ What is your favorite media and why?
We love metal and clay. Combining those two things is one of our favorite medias. I have to say that clock parts and cogs are also a b ig part of what we do.
✩✩✩ Where would you like to see yourself 5/10 years from now in this project?
I would love to do tons of conventions! We are aiming to be included in the Steampunk World fair within the next couple years, the waiting list is VERY long!
✩✩✩ What has been your biggest challenge with your shop?
Finding time in our schedules to meet together and figure out exactly what our goals are. Making things is the easy part, its the work and planning that is the hard part.
✩✩✩Do you have any keys of success to share?
Love everything you make; if you dont love it trash it and start over. Always be confident that each piece you make is the best.
✩✩✩ Tell us one crazy thing about yourself.
We are all addicted to chocolate, when I say that it is not a 'oh we like chocolate" . I mean we will attack it with vigor.
✩✩✩ What is something you would love to learn how to do?
Metal casting is something that we are really interested in. It is dangerous and complicated, but we really want to learn.
✩✩✩ What has been your favorite project so far?
All three of us teamed together to make 30 gift baskets for a local customer. It was a lot of fun figuring out what was going into the baskets, and working on them.
✩✩✩ What is one thing you love to do to unwind?
Sit with coffee and read a book. That goes for all three of us

Today's Feature Friday is.....

Today's Feature Friday is.....
Angie from Crimson Hill Soaps & Scents
They are based out of the Greater Kansas City Area
✩✩✩What was/is your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from my kids' sensitive skin.
From the age of 1, my daughter has had trouble with any store-bought creme, lotion, balme, etc. and she is now 9 years old. A friend suggested I try natural soap. It helped within days and I knew this would be something we would always have to use. From that point, I started researching how to make my own natural soap. It took several attempts to get a batch that even resembled soap, but now we have refined our recipes down to perfection!
✩✩✩What is your favorite media and why?
My favorite "media" is natural ingredients! All of my soaps are natrual and I like to blend unique natural ingredients )lavender, apricot seeds, pumpkin flakes, milks, hone, oats, etc.)into our soaps to create a truly pampering bar.
✩✩✩Where would you like to see yourself 5/10 years from now in this project?
In 5-10 years...okay, closer to 10 years...my kids will be college-bound and independent and I really hope to have my own local shop! Right now I am having too much fun coaching sports, helping at school, assisting with Girl Scouts, etc. to be tied down to a retail shop and the hours it demands.
✩✩✩What has been your biggest challenge with your shop?
My biggest challenge has been time and space...not having enough of either!
Being a busy Mom and business owner, there just isn't enough time in the day to complete every task every day. My family is very understanding that running my business takes hard work and that means lots of computer time!
My second challenge is space. My materials slowly creep out of the 2 rooms that are designated to just running my business. We are currently doing a major organizing overhaul in our home to help with growing inventory, raw materials, and supplies.
✩✩✩Do you have any keys of success to share?
Keys to success...patience, risk-taking and tireless research
Patience: Running in a business is the hardest, most rewarding thing I have ever done. Creating products is the easy part for me...I am never short on ideas! The time consuming process and where I need to inject patience is the countless hours and brainpower I spend photographing, packaging, marketing, promoting and selling my items!
Risk-Taking: Calculated risk-taking is a part of my business plan always will be. Risk is, well, risky...but it can be very profitable and rewarding when done right! I just opened a second Etsy shop as part of my business plan for 2012. CrimsonHillDesignsKS http://www.etsy.com/shop/CrimsonHill/DesignsKS
Research: In my area of expertise, there are so many variables to consider. I deal with natural ingredients constantly in my soaps and bath & body products. I have to stay educated on safety issues, healing benefits and trends to be on top of my selling game.
✩✩✩Tell us one crazy thing about yourself.
One crazy thing about me....where do I begin! I love sports and played volleyball and softball in college and still love to play catch with my husband in our yard! I am terrified of snakes. I don't eat the stringy things on bananas. I can't eat meat off a bone ( think chicken legs or ribs). I am super-sentimental and keep everything my hubby and kids give to me. I am a clean-freak and organizational junkie.
✩✩✩What is something you would love to learn how to do?
I would love to learn how to create wire-wrapped jewelry. I think it is so unique and beautiful!
✩✩✩What has been your favorite project so far?
My favorite "project" is creating custom party favors! I just love creating something unique for a big event in someone's life. It doesn't matter whether the favors are for baby showers, weddings, slumber parties, office gifts....I love it all!
✩✩✩What is one thing you love to do to unwind?
To unwind, I like to knit, exercise, read, clean (yes, clean:) and be at home playing with my kids and cuddling with my hubby .
