I pulled out an old suitcase today but couldn’t remember what was in it.
I had no idea it would turn out to be a time capsule from 2011-2014.
Looking back at how I started my business..with a dream and a prayer,
using my preferred method of bookkeeping (to this day) and pure imagination and critical thinking skills (no AI or TikTok)!!!! The Velvet Owl was the FIRST of its kind in the area!!
We did our first fashion show at Smith Company Motors in South Ridge and it was a huge success!!
*The last two pics were brain storming ideas for my window display (in March one year).
*Pics of the original shop, my models and my paper business cards!!
