Pendant Love!

Okay, so I am rolling out the cuteness here at the shop!
Seriously have you seen these items?
Go! Go! Go!
Today, I just launched a brand new line of glass and wooden pendants.
Hooray!
They are cute and adorable and so many other adjectives!
I'll spare you.
So if you have some time, I'd love if you could hop on over to my shop and take a look!
While you're at it, a quick [like] on the 'ole facebook page couldn't hurt either!
Just sayin'... :)

Tiny Fabric Flower Necklaces!

How cute is this??
Just arrived at the shop!
"Lil' Cream Chic" is part of my new line of Tiny Fabric Flower Necklaces.
Can you say adorable?

New Products Are Ready!

Here are my newest products! I'm so in love with them!
They are perfectly sweet and when you wear them, you feel pretty.
I had a blast making them!
 "Berry Rose"

 The best part is...each product is different and unique in its own way!
Thats the beauty with handmade goods -you never get an exact copy.
"Cream Chic"

I love the fact that you'll have a completely unique product thats as unique as you!
"Summer Blue"
Per my own shop rules, each product is limited.
I like the idea that my products are special and ever changing.
As my shop evolves, certain products will come and go.
This Flower Fabric line has several styles...
"Parisian Summer", "Berry Rose", and "Pink Cupcake" for example.
But I only have so much fabric per style to make.
I'm of the idea that once the fabric is gone, that style will be gone too.
"Parisian Summer"

Make sense?
I like the idea of limited quantity so you know you have a product that not many others will have.
"Victoria"
I'd love to hear some feedback on what you think of the new line :)

Hello Blogging World!

Here I go!
It's new business time!
I've started this blog as a way to track my progress and reach out to my customers.
All my frustrations, successes, thoughts, and musings will be typed right here into the blog-o-sphere.
I'm so excited to be starting this new adventure in my life.
I'm so creative (<--bragging much?) and I need an outlet or I go stir crazy!
{Lovely&Co} just sort of came to me one day as I was making myself some fabric headbands.
I literally thought to myself, "Well aren't these lovely."
Lightbulb!
Yes...I'm THAT person.
But it wasn't exactly an easy road getting here.
I did a lot of research to fine tune this bad boy.
I didn't want to just start an etsy shop/business without knowing my market or my own costs.
Just because you can make something so cute, doesn't mean you should sell it.
There's shipping to think about, overhead costs, your brand/product,
your pricing and selling strategy, and on and on.
Sheesh!
I know, a LOT of pondering went on in this little head of mine.
But...fear not because I think I have it figured out.
Lets go ahead and put a big, fat emphasis on THINK mmkay?
Time will tell whether or not I'm playing my cards right.
And guess what?
YOU get to hear all about it!
Yippee!
Well, those of you who stick around anyway...
*chirp chirp*
Is there anyone out there...really?
Hope so!
So stick with me and I'm sure we'll all have an adventure as I undergo this exciting and scary challenge.
