About me.
My name is Ashlynn - I’m a wife, a mom, a creator, and I also work full time at a fourth generation family business.
This business started for me when I was looking for a playhouse for my daughter, Claire. I spent 2+ hours every night (ask my husband, no lie) for at least 10 days looking for something cute and affordable. I finally found an Etsy page that was creating the most gorgeous little houses, but she was charging $3,000+ as well as $1,000 for shipping, which was not in my budget to say the least! I finally decided that if she could do that, so could I, and so I did.
I was a little overwhelmed on my first go-around, I made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. I even put a screw through my finger!
I had always had an additional summer job to save for vacations or my otherwise expensive taste (working on it), but now that I had a two year old, I just didn’t want to be away from home more than necessary. I decided that I would take photos of the house that I created for her and post it on Facebook Marketplace and see what happens. I hoped to make five or six all summer/year if I was super lucky, but by the next morning I already had my first four orders. I ended up completing seven in my first month. ..[cont]

I love what I’m doing. Some people may see my life and think “isn’t she overwhelmed,” but truly, this is freeing my mind rather than cluttering it. I have never considered myself to be “handy” nor creative, but it turns out that piece of my life and myself was missing.
For four months, I created in my garage, mostly before my family wakes up or after they go to bed. Now, six months later, I have an open retail/work space in an awesome location in Clayton, NY. I am truly overwhelmed with the support and interest I have received. I am very excited to see where this business takes me and my family!
