I finally set up shop! Bee Hopeful is something near to my heart and I did it! Maybe it was the new year. Maybe it was a new friend who gave me encouragement. Maybe it was me and I need to congratulate myself! I have had this vision for the store and have been very indecisive about banners and pictures. I would definitely recommend using the Etsy forums. I've read very encouraging and knowledgeable crafters. I can't wait to meet potential customers and know how my art has brought family and friends together!
I've met a new friend, Nicole. She is a thoughtful soul and bought her family beads. She surprised them at her Thanksgiving table. Below is an email from her...Hi Kate!
It's great to hear from you! I've had you on my mind like crazy and have been meaning to email you! Your beads were a hit! My family loved them and were touched by them so much! My cousin carries hers in her purse and uses them all day for little prayers. My aunt has hers at her bedside and really loved the idea of them. My other cousin who just lost her best friend to cancer (got her the one with "faith" charm) loved hers as well and she is the one struggling the most right now with believing! What you do is very special and meant so much to all of us! The beads made my brother cry that's how much it meant to him so thank you so much for meeting me and making the holiday extra special for all of us!
Hope you enjoyed yourselves celebrating the holidays with family! It is snowing in Chicago today! I pray you have safe travels home!
Thank you again and it was great meeting James. He's a beautiful boy! Hope to talk to you soon!
Take Care-
Nicole
