Hi Everyone
So I have been doing a bit of mulling around in
this heavy head of mine and decided that I really wanted to implement a Feature
Friday and highlight some of the mom run and even a few non mom run businesses
in the local community.
I have found that with the vast array of
information available on the internet it can often be difficult to find exactly
what you are looking for, I have also found that is much better to support a
local run business than trying to ship or find items from oversees or a
commercial store.
The items and services offered within our own
communities are so diverse and the quality and love that goes into these items
are worth so much more than a regular store bought item.
I often envy the amount of bravery it must have
taken for some of these ladies to start these businesses when it often seems so
much easier to just stay in a run of the mill work environment because it is
more stable or because you have kids, some of these ladies even do both which
is just incredible.
So this week I am showcasing Love my Home.
I took a peek over at her face book page and I absolutely love
the look of all the items she has to offer and am thinking of ordering one or
two things myself in the future (if my son was still small I would order more.)
The items are all beautifully made and displayed
and just give you that wonderful comforting feeling that comes with handmade and custom made items.
So I asked her to answer a few questions for us
to give a little gander and insight into what Love my Home is all about:
Why the
name Love My Home:
“My
business name comes from my initials LMH”
Why and
when did you start Love My Home:
“I started
Love my home in February last year (2014) when my admin job was not a
good emotional fit for me anymore, I'm a creative person and need to be busy
with a craft of some sort all the time. My husband and I also wanted to
start a family and had decided it would be a good decision to resign so that I
could be at home with our future kids while doing something I'm passionate
about.18 months later we have a 3 month old little boy and I couldn't be
happier being at home with him.”
Tell us a
bit about your products:
“I take
pride in the fact that everything is made by me. My main focus is baby items
like bandana style bibs, dummy clips,
crocheted hats, felt embellished onesies/t-shirts, car seat covers, trolley
seat covers and my recently added teething items. I also do homey items
such as table runners, place mats,
cushion covers, bunting and table cloths. I take custom orders and love that every order is unique.”
You became
a WAHM how has this affected your family:
“The only
way working from home has affected my family so far- (having only being
back in the working mode for a month now) is positive. It allows me to be at
home with my little boy and I won't be missing out on any of his
milestones.”
How can someone
find Love My Home:
You can find Love My Home on Facebook, she also
has a website and online store coming soon so be on the lookout for that.
How to
place an order:
An order can be placed via email and payment can
be made via EFT once your invoice is received.
If you are in the PE area you can arrange
collection, otherwise your order can be sent via the Post office or courier
depending on your preference.
So if you are interested in seeing what she has
to offer head on over to her page and show her some local love and support.
