I was just 9 years old when I started Hailee’s Craft Cottage as a school project. Growing up in a small town, I always had a knack for creating beautiful things with my hands. Whether it was painting, or making jewelry, my creativity knew no bounds. My school project required me to start a small business, and I thought, “Why not share my crafts with the world?”
With the help of my parents, I set up an Etsy shop in 2024 and named it Hailee’s Craft Cottage. It started with a few handmade items, like hand-painted bookmarks and trendy bracelets. To my surprise, my creations quickly caught the attention of customers who appreciated the love and effort put into each piece.
As the orders started coming in, I realized that this was more than just a school project. I loved the idea of being able to earn my own money and the independence that came with it. So I decided to keep the shop running even after the project ended.
Over the years, Hailee’s Craft Cottage grew. I have expanded my product range to include custom jewelry, home decor, and personalized gifts. Each item is crafted with the same passion and attention to detail that had won me my first customers. I also learned about marketing, customer service, and managing finances, skills that would serve me well in the future.
Now, I am more determined than ever to make my business a success. I dream of one day opening a physical store and inspiring other young entrepreneurs to follow their passions. Hailee’s Craft Cottage is not just a shop; it’s a testament to my journey of creativity, hard work, and the desire to be independent.
My creative designs are meticulously hand-crafted with love using high quality materials from around the world. Using Czech glass , crystals, and sterling silver components we create jewelry.
My candles use non-toxic materials, sustainable soy wax from the USA, and essential oils. All of my candles are created exclusively for my store.
My unique totes are all each individually painted and signed by the original artist.
I hope you love my designs as much as I do and THANK YOU for supporting my DREAM!
