It was spring of 2009 when creating a shop became a reality. I have always been a maker. I've done everything from kite making to carpentry. Beading to incense making. Costumes to herbalism. I really don't believe in limitations and I have a desire to try anything.

So one day I was unloading some bamboo from my car. I had just decided I would try out flute making again. I had done it once before when I was a pre-teen but I lacked the tools to do a decent job.

This is when my neighbor walked up to me and said- "Hey whats all that for?"

"Oh! well I'm gona make some flutes."

"How much?"

How much? Yes something that simple. I had never considered actually selling things I had made. I stood there gaping uncertain how to respond to her. That simple comment set the wheels in motion. Next thing I knew I was signed up to vend at a festival and had opened my etsy store with a mere 4 bamboo flutes.

With this new option open I began to re-examine all the various creative endeavors I had tried over the years and attempt to sell them. Four years later here I am with one eclectic shop. Some of these crafts I have been doing since I was old enough to grab a tool. Others are newer experiments.

Whatever I do and wherever I go with it. I will always have my unmistakable style thats all mine.
