How was your weekend? Exciting I hope! Today starts the new week which means it is time for another Etsy Shop Spotlight post.
A few weeks ago I was introduced to Fatima the vibrant and kind hearted owner of Flowers by Fatima. Fatima creates everything from bouquets to extravagant hair pieces. My personal favorite is the Peppermint Bark Butterfly hair comb pictured below:
I truly adore Fatima’s shop and wanted to sit down with her to learn more about her and her business. Please check out the interview below!
1. Please introduce yourself:
Hey Sweet Tart Beauties! I'm Fatima of Flowers From Fatima. I am 22 years old, from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am a mother, sister, friend, musician, florist, and fashion designer.
2. Why did you start your Etsy business?
I started my Etsy business in the hopes of inspiring people all over the world with the beauty of Mother Nature and the wish to share my creativity through my love for floral design.
3. What is your creative process? ( what influences your art)
My art is a reflection of my spirit, all that I admire, as well as the emotions of my heart. I simply manifest whatever comes to my mind.
4. What is your best selling item?
My best selling item has been my Golden Sunflower Hair Clip: http://www.etsy.com/listing/50822319/golden-sunflower-hair-clip.
5. Have you faced any challenges in owning your own business?
Of course I face challenges each and every day with Flowers From Fatima; those challenges make me a much stronger and more skilled business owner and fashion designer. One of my major challenges at the moment is enduring the "slower periods." Flowers seem to be a very seasonal trend as far as fashion. However, I always keep positive thoughts at the forefront to carry me through and continue to be productive.
6. Where do you see Flowers by Fatima in 5 years?
5 years from now, Flowers From Fatima will have flourished even more and will be more widely known all over the world. I will have my product carried in a wider selection of retail stores across the country.
7. What advice would you give someone interested in starting their own business?
If you DESIRE to start your own business, I advise that you think positively about your aspirations and set forth to accomplish them! All great feats begin with a simple dream.
