On the heels of Friday’s post, I just want to say that to be able to add joy to someone’s home, especially the rooms of the little ones ~ this is one of the reasons I do what I do.

One of my early and now fiercely loyal Etsy customers is Mandy. Recently she sent me photos of her sweet little girl, Meta’s room. Mandy was putting this collection together last year, just before Meta arrived. There’s nothing better than actually seeing your art hanging in someone’s home, or as I always like to call it, viewing art in it’s "natural habitat". And connecting with Mandy is another reason I love what I do. Mandy is one of the nicest people I’ve "met" through the internet. Her emails just spill over with such a genuinely joyful spirit, it’s infectious. She has been and continues to be such a wonderful customer. I can’t thank her enough for all of her support.

A mom to Jett and Meta (in the photo above), Mandy is also a fellow entrepreneur. She owns an adorable online shop featuring clothing for small children, called Night Owl Baby and  a gourmet popcorn business with her twin sister in Indianapolis called Just Pop In.
