Name: Kylie Marks
Age: I am 25 and I started my company 3 years ago.
Name of shop: Precious Threads Creations
How'd you come up with the name of your shop: I started out making sewed items and everything slowly transitioned into selling mostly jewelry (The floating lockets). Precious Threads came from the sewing idea but I loved the name so I kept it.
How long has your shop been open: I started my business about 3 years ago.
What gave you the idea about opening an etsy shop: I started with etsy because of of how wonderful they are with homemade items. I then created my own website because it was easier with the amount of products I have in stock.
Is this a hobby of your or do you do this full time?: this is a full time job for me. I run everything within my company from ordering supplies, to taking custom orders, to shipping. It does take a large amount of my time but I love that I can work from home.
What kind of items do you sell in your shop: I sell floating lockets for the most part. These consist of products like the actual lockets, chains, and charms.
Your favorite item that you sell: my favorite locket is my tree of life locket necklace. It is beautiful and it is has been a custom favorite for a long time. I also love all of the military items that I sell because my husband was in the army so it hits close to home.
Something you want to happen to your shop in the future: I would love to be able to have more items in stock and a bugger variety of options. I love getting in new products so I hope I can continue to do that in the future.
Do you have any plans for your shop products in the future: I plan on expanding the amount of products I offer. It is always fun to offer items that many people don't see very often.
If so what is something you want your future customers to know about your shop: I want everyone to know that my business is completely run by myself and that I put everything into it. I love my company and I love that my customers are able to go through me directly to receive their orders. I hope that it makes for a more enjoyable and easy experience and that they understand how much work goes into my little home run company :)
