How did you decide to start making wreaths and door decorations?
\n<\/strong>For many years I worked as a Buyer for Williamsburg Catalog, but as a result of a job transfer for my husband we relocated to the Annapolis area about three years ago. At that time I had an interest in opening my own retail store but did not want to be tied down to the constraints of having an actual store front. It was then I decided I would give online retailing a try. After a bit of research I decided I would open an online store \u00a0and wreaths on Etsy. I opened Ever Blooming Originals in March of 2011.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite type of wreath to make?
\n<\/strong>My favorite part of having my own online store is coming up with a vision of something I want to make, and then creating it. I enjoy making wreaths that are a bit unexpected, and unusual. By far the most popular item is my famous Bunny Wreath<\/a>, and now for the winter season I also have a snowman<\/a> design that my customers are loving!<\/p>\n

How has ShipStation helped you with your business?
\n<\/strong>The best part of having my own business is that I make my own hours. I generally try to operate my business during the day while my youngest is at elementary school. Each work day at 3pm I found myself scrambling to finish up with the making\/printing of the labels through PayPal which was so time consuming and frustrating. Thankfully I found ShipStation and it has enabled me to create my labels in a much more efficient manner. I can now print my daily shipping labels in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s your favorite ShipStation feature?
\n<\/strong>One of my favorite features about ShipStation is the shipping ‘presets’. This enables me to quickly input the dimensions, and weight for each individual item.<\/p>\n

Truly I am so thankful to have found ShipStation. I run the business entirely by myself, and my time is better spent on managing my business rather than the mundane task printing and shipping packages.<\/p>\n
