Summer Fun



This summer started off great and I cannot believe it is almost gone. The girls and I started crafting and before we new it we had a little business. Bella Designs was born from a rediscoved passion for creating things. I never thought I was very creative but one day at work a customer called wondering when her order would be in and it had been nearly a month since she ordered her item. I went home that night thinking I could make the bow holder she ordered and get her her item the next day since she had waited so long for it. My supervisor ended up filling her order with another bow holder from a different vendor but that evening I realized how much I enjoyed creating and crafting and I now had a bow holder I had to sell!




The girls and I had already stated working on making bows and hair clippies so we added bow holders to our list of things to make and sell and off were went. I opened an etsy store just to get some things out there and then brought some of our Bow holders to a local consignment shop to sell there! We have gotten off to a great start and are looking forward to our craft shows this fall.




We needed a name and I couldn't think of anything. We thought of Baby J designs, and some other names but Bella is somthing my husband calls all of us girls since he speaks Italian. Bella has been a bit overused but since it was a loving and affectionate term he called us all we went with it! Bella Designs it was!
