Today my shop turns 4! Happy Anniversary OhSoANTSY! It’s sort of hard to believe it’s been that long already. Before I go on I just need to say THANK YOU! Your support and kind words and your love of what I do has kept me going and without you there would be no business. Thank you for sharing your stories and letting me be a small part of it. {Also there is a giveaway at the bottom of the post}

Now for a little story.
4 years ago on this very day I had a goal to open my shop before midnight because I wanted to share my birthday month with my new shop. I was sitting on my boyfriends couch in Austin (he’s now my fiancee and we live in Seattle) and I was going through the process of setting up my shop when I hit my first roadblock. The name I had so carefully chosen was taken! Ah! I can’t remember what that name was because I had to forget it promptly. I really wanted the name to be math related because my background is in math and even though I was starting a jewelry business I wanted to tie it all together. I finally settled on Integrative Creations (yikes). It was available and I hit the set up shop button at last! It was January 31st, 2011.
Since that night the items in the shop changed drastically and about 1 1/2 years later I changed the name to OhSoANTSY (phew!-perhaps a story for another time) and I also left my day job. And here we are 4 years later. And you know what?! I still have so much to learn and I can’t wait!
Cheers to 4 more years!
