Introduction

Hi, my name is Mandy.  I am a mother of three beautiful girls and one sweet little boy.  I am married to my high school sweet heart. We have been together for close to 17 years. My favorite thing to do is spend time with family. 

My passion is to create.  I have always been a crafty person and I am very blessed to come from a family that is quite crafty. My mother use to paint and is now a florist, my sister is a florist, , my dad also painted as a hobby, and my grandfather has a successful woodworking business.  So being crafty is most defiantly in my blood.  

If you are wondering how I got started, it all happened in 2008. I was in a pricey department store where I seen a necklace that I fell in love with. I fell quickly out of love when I seen the price tag.  Like most artisans I thought to myself, “I can make that”.  I started out small by buying a few beads at a local craft store.  After making a few, my friends and family would complement me on my jewelry and ask me where I got it. So that started the duplication of my styles.  A few months later, I had three strangers stop me in one day and compliment me on my necklace I had on. I remember looking at my husband and saying, “Okay I think I need to take this to the next level”.  That is when I turned a hobby into a business. Since then I have made hundreds of necklaces and added several accessories to my line. I love to create accessories for every girl of any age.  You can find my Styles on facebook, etsy, my website, in a few stores and at a few craft festivals in the fall.
