The Story of HobKnobin
In 2009, my soon-to-be daughter was still in my tummy. Like most moms, I wanted her to have something personalized and special from me. I took a stab at painting butterflies and flowers on her dresser knobs to match her bedroom motif. Up until that point, I didn’t know I had an artsy, painting side to me. The compliments from friends and family encouraged me to start painting and selling dresser knobs on Etsy, and HobKnobin was born.

Since then, I am so grateful to have made over 15,000 sales on the HobKnobin Etsy site, and I have received over 2,500 positive reviews. My donut stands have been featured on the national TV show The Talk, and are currently used in the renowned Chicas restaurant in Miami and Las Vegas. It is so thrilling to see the response!

While my business has grown and become able to accommodate all my clients’ crafty needs, I still pride myself on being a small business owner and adding that personal touch to everything I do.

The Story of ToyingAround
In 2011, I decided to expand my creativity and open up ToyingAround. As a mother of two kiddos (who seemed to get bored with every toy in 5 minutes), I wanted to create quality, entertaining, yet educational toys and games that didn’t require batteries.

ToyingAround was created to fulfill all your creativity needs with natural and chemical-free wooden toys and objects. Since launching, I have made over 18,000 sales on the ToyingAround Etsy site and received over 3,300 positive reviews. Thank you so much for the support!
