A little about the Owner:
Name: Sandra
Age: 27
I paint shoes (mainly TOMS) for a living! Never thought I would say that. Seriously...never. It has been a crazy journey, but I have loved every step of the way.
I went to college to become a teacher (I THOUGHT that was what I wanted to do with my life). Well, actually I had always wanted to start my own business doing crafty things and have my own line of awesome goodies like Martha Stewart (minus the jail time) and have my own show on HGTV or something. But, I thought..."yeah right. That will never happen...so teaching it is!" I guess you could say that I started with my back up plan! Ha.
So immediately after graduating, I received a job as a high school English teacher. I was so young and it wasn't what I imagined it to be...I sort of hated it. (Props to all of the teachers out there!!!) So I started painting shoes on the side (because I've always been super artsy--I minored in Art and Majored in English in college). I taught for two years and then I was then let go from teaching (blessing in disguise).
So then I was jobless and really wanted to start my own business. So I started painting different designs and blasting social media. I didn't sell anything for about 6 or 7 months. And then I sold my first pair! I almost died! I thought, "Wow, seriously? Someone wants to buy something that I made?! OMG!!! This is AMAZING!!!" And then I did a little victory dance...for about a week.
It was slow for a while and didn't really pay the bills. And I didn't really want to go back to teaching. So after lots of prayer and tears...Christmas hit! I sold around 40 pairs of shoes and my life has been forever changed! This past Christmas was my second year selling on Etsy...and my orders had...wait for it....more than QUADRUPLED! I hired not one, not two, but THREE employees to help with all the orders. I was SWAMPED...in a good way.
Now my orders are pretty steady and I am making more than I was when I was teaching...crazy blessed.
