"A Pretty Shoppe"

 has been nice enough to host a giveaway to ONE lucky winner to receive a custom pair of earrings AND a custom set of bobby pins made with love especially for you! How awesome is she?

Here's some background for you on A Pretty Shoppe from Kirah, the owner.

Me: How did A Pretty Shoppe begin?

A Pretty Shoppe came about after lots of wishing, dreaming, and praying. I established A Pretty Shoppe after Mr. Handsome and I lost our first child in January 2011. I knew through the grief, I needed to put my energy and emotions into something so I started creating & healing. After a lot of prayer and encouragement from family and 

friends, A Pretty Shoppe was born, as my creating and healing became a passion & love.

Me: What do you enjoy most about your shoppe?

The thing I enjoy most about my shoppe is making pretty things! – how FUN is that!? It’s amazing! I spend hours a day looking for inspiration, reading magazines & books, praying, listening to music, etc. And then I go to my pretty studio and start making my dreams and ideas come to life. I also love all the sweet notes and comments I get from my customers - they encourage me and remind me why I make pretty things. 

Me: What are four random things you want us to know?

1. I am slightly addicted to Sweet Tea. {I drink it daily.}
2. I wanted to be a Librarian when I grew up. I love books! In fact, I would line my dolls up along the wall and glue library cards on the inside of my books and check books out to my dolls.{I never thought I would own my own company.}
3. When I was little I used to tell people I was related to the founder of the Campbell’s Soup Co. because my last name is Campbell. {I know, I know, lying isn’t good – I was like 5, gimme a break.}
4. Giggle is my favorite word. How can you not giggle when hear & say it?

Me: Where do you see yourself & your business in 10 years?

For myself- I want to continue to grow in my walk with God. After that, I want to be a good wife to my Mr. Handsome, and a mom to a healthy, happy child {or 2 or 3}. I want to watch my children grow up, I want to be an example to my children of what walking with God and following your dreams looks like.For my business – I hope & pray that my shoppe will continue to flourish just as my family will flourish.

Me: What are some of your favorite handmade shops?

My favorite handmade shops are:
Jumping Jax Designs www.jumpingjaxdesigns.com
JessicaNdesigns http://www.etsy.com/shop/jessicandesigns{isn’t her stuff gorgeous?!}
Love Stitched http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovestitched

Me: If you could give one powerful piece of advice to someone trying to start a business, what would it be?
BE YOURSELF! There’s a quote that I absolutely love and I think it is so important for new & existing business owners to remember. I have a framed copy of this quote on my desk and I see it daily. It is a constant reminder to be myself.

“Today you are you, that is truer than true, there is no one alive who is youer than you!” – Dr. Seuss

Isn't she awesome?
