A New Business was Born

                             

For this post I am introducing my granddaughter Anya and her 6 month old business.

She has always been interested in what I do and as a teenager, helped me when she could, with my business. 

My Business

In the early days, over 10 years ago, I created accessory designs and crocheted them for something to do while I was ill. I ended up with so many that I decided to try selling them. Gradually the business changed and morphed into the word art I sell now. 

Anya and her partner got their own home and then a baby followed. The lockdown of course overshadowed this special event with no one being able to see them and the baby after he was born. Not an easy time to become new parents. 

Some would say it was a crazy time to start a new business. However, start it she did with us all cheering her on and it was a hit from day 1. I was always proud of her, still am of course but even more so now with the way she juggles the baby, her home and her business so well, as though she has been doing it all for years.

ANYA's Story

It's crazy to think that ever since the age of 14 I used to plan a new business idea every month and tell my Nanny & Brother what I was going to do but never went through the idea! Well here I am at the age of 23 and I've finally gone through with it and living the 'dream'. 

Welcome to Life In A Print Art

where you can find home decor, personalised prints, gifts & so much more.

I started in June 2020 when I was starting my Maternity leave following the birth of my beautiful baby boy at the end of April. Due to it being lockdown. 

I had my partner at home with me for the first few months and was lucky enough to always have his help so I felt having a Newborn was easy peasy and wanted to fill my time when I was bored. 

Well, when my partner went back to work I was wrong to think I had 'time to fill'. 

But with how successful I have been I wouldn't change it for the world and will always find the time. I love it. 

The first one

I started the business with personalised prints:

Nursery prints, Engagement prints and New Home prints, which is. where I got the name from 'Life in a Print Art'.

It certainly is your life in a print art!

Since then of course, my business has expanded into so many more items, which all still suit the name and the products fit together nicely.

My first ever item was a Personalised Nursery print. 

I randomly started by designing a print for my sons 'Safari themed' nursery, which is where my most loved design came from. 

I LOVE creating prints, I love the ideas & the designs.

Setting up Shop

I started selling on Facebook and then opened a shop on Etsy.

I feel so fortunate that my new business has taken off and done so well. 

Unknowingly I started it at the right time, when so many people were accessing the internet in ever increasing numbers. 

The future is exciting. I have so many exciting things being launched in 2021, some already on sale and more coming. New ideas are constantly popping up, more than I can count or start on.

Just Out and selling well.                                                          Coming Soon! So cute
