Today we introduce you to
Laura from
FiestaKids Boutique!
- What motivated you to start your shop?
I had always been searching for a "venue" to sell my crafts on-line and had tried others but then I found Etsy and thought I'd give it a try; my first item sold within 24 hrs and that was two years ago.
- What is the story behind your shop name?
Fiesta means a celebration, a party, something that everyone enjoys and little kids are always excited about.
- Do you have a favorite Etsy Shop (non-child related)?
Many, many shops, it is hard to choose one, but one of my favorites is
http://www.etsy.com/shop/wendymarsh I have bought several items from her, 100% beautiful.
- What surprised you most about having your own craft / online shop?
That I get to meet and connect with people from all over the world, that is so fantastic!! I love so much what I do, that I found my true passion in life!
- What do you find most challenging about being an Etsy seller?
Being unique, everyone is so talented!!
- What's your personal philosophy behind your shop / products?
To make items that I would use on my own kids, if they were little or I had grandchildren :o) or that I would love to receive as a gift. I try to keep happy clients so they feel confident with their purchases and come back again and again.
- How would someone (other then you) describe you?
Witty, always creative, hard working and very passionate about her business.
- What music do you have on while you are creating?
Depends on the "day of the month" (LOL!!)
- What do you do when you aren't working?
I actually don´t call it work, I would do this even if I had not opened a shop. The few hours of the day that I am not doing anything related to my shop, I work on my garden, I visit my family or friends, I also love working on new projects for my home; cooking at our family gatherings; watching the CA sunsets!!
- Anything else you'd like to tell us or share?
These last 2 years have been so awesome for me, I have met so many wonderful people, have learned a lot about networking, joining a team, maintaining a business, etc that I only wish for more of the same and to anyone who is not sure if the time is right for them to try it, I can only say JUST TRY IT here on Etsy!
