Vendor Spotlight – Lovely Flower Designs

How did you get started at Vintage Marketplace?

I started crocheting again during Covid. My grandma taught me when I was a young girl and when Covid started I needed something to do in the winter. Before this time, I was working my garden and the thought of losing my garden to the winter months was sad. So, I ordered some yarn and started crocheting. I used colorful yarns like the flowers in my garden and then as my business grew, I added beaded jewelry and photography. I created my business, Lovely Flower Designs to create garden inspired homemade and upcycled gifts to sell. I love having beautifully designed colorful art to sell to others.

Do you have an area of specialty?

I specialize in crocheting, jewelry making and photography

What is your favorite part of reselling?

My favorite thing about reselling or even selling is the joy it brings to others when they find a handmade, homemade or upcycled gift for themselves or others.
