Interview week 2 A shop owner you must meet!

Another wonderful shop I stumbled upon! Her name is Julie T, Owner of  JulemiJewelry
Just looking in her shop and she has some very releasable prices for her work. 


One of my favourite pieces 


How long have you been on etsy? Do you enjoy it?
I HAVE BEEN ON ETSY SINCE OCTOBER 2013 AND BEGAN WITH JUST BANGLE BRACELETS. I HAVE THEN EXPANDED TO NECKLACES, CHARM BRACELETS, EARRINGS, AND RINGS. I HAVE NOT DONE VERY WELL WITH NECKLACES AND RINGS, SO I PLAN TO DISCONTINUE THOSE SECTIONS.





Where did your shop name come from?
MY SHOP NAME IS ACTUALLY A MISH MASH OF MY NAME AND MY DAUGHTER'S NAME (MORE DETAIL IN MY BLOG "WHAT SHOULD I CALL IT?") MY NAME IS JULIE, AND MY DAUGHTER'S NAME IS EMILIE.


What got you started and what keeps you inspired?
I HAD ASKED MY FIANCE FOR A FAMOUS MAKER BRACELET THAT I WANTED FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I WAS EMBARRASSED TO FIND OUT THEY WERE $50+ AND WE COULD NOT AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME. 




I GET RANDOM MOTIVATIONS. MY FIRST WAS OUR TRIP TO HAWAII IN DECEMBER 2013. THE FUNDS WERE USED AS SPENDING MONEY SO WE COULD HAVE A GOOD TIME AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. NOW THAT THE VACATION HAS GONE AND PAST, WE ARE NOW FOCUSING ON MOVING INTO A NEW PLACE AND GETTING MARRIED. AFTER THOSE TWO EVENTS, ALL FUNDS WILL GO DIRECTLY INTO MY DAUGHTER'S BANK ACCOUNT FOR WHEN SHE IS OLDER.

INSPIRATIONS COME FROM PINTEREST AND EVEN MY DREAMS. I'VE POSTED A FEW "DREAM INSPIRED" ITEMS IN MY SHOP AND EVEN DISCLOSED THAT'S WHERE THEY CAME FROM ;)

What is your next step?
I HAVE RECENTLY APPLIED FOR A SALES TAX ID IN MY STATE AND I PLAN TO TAKE BUSINESS CLASSES TO MAKE SURE I AM RUNNING MY SHOP CORRECTLY. I AM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH WEBINARS AND BLOGS AS WELL.

Who Am I?

Do you wonder who made this blog? and why?

Well, There's a lot of reasons!
But I should probably introduce myself..
My name is Nicole, And I am a young entrepreneur. I still have a year left in high school, Than Ill be off on my own. In The real world!

Beading

Ever since I was little I had a passion for selling things, I was very good at it.
I was not the best at "crafting"




.. But now that I'm a big older I have a better understanding
I also started my own etsy shop, By myself.. It was meant to be a partnership with a friend of mine.... but it never worked out..  
I feel like I'm doing great on my own!

I don't know if I will have time when I graduate, I always try to make time. And What would I do with all my stuff I made?
<My etsy shop will always be there, I won't make a living off of it, But Its a great experience.
I am thinking about Creating my own Vancouver fashion line, Or mostly sweater line ..Its going to be my further project. If I have enough money.. Might need some help..--->


But anyway, I always have a reason for something I do. Like this Blog, was meant for you. It was tough when I started off.. I had no idea what to do.
I also created my own team on etsy, Its mostly for getting help, getting a bit of guide.
I just love putting a smile on peoples faces...

Making the world a bit better 

Featured shop

Jameelah Woodard The owner of Keepongivin
I checked out her shop this weekend, And its something... I love her style, and the different things she has in her shop! I am glad she had joined my team on etsy, and responded for an interview! 

How long have you been on etsy? 

I have been on Etsy for a few years. I post items on Etsy when I have a surplus. I tend to sale more in person through my local craft fairs or word of mouth.

Do you enjoy it?
I do enjoy selling on Etsy. Etsy is a community of people who enjoy shopping small and see the value in supporting handmade artisans.

Where did your shop name come from?

My shop name came from the simple fact that I started my business by making items for friends and family as gifts. I pride myself in my work. I really want my items to last in your family for generations to come. My gifts are the gifts that "Keep On Givin."

What is your next step?

I am working hard to try to get my items in boutiques. I really want to see crochet items on everyone in the world.
