Hi! My name is Madison, and I was born and raised in a small town in southeast MO! {still currently here!} I’ve always loved following the newest trends, following all the influencers to see what’s “in style” for the season! 2 years ago; I decided to go for it and open my own online boutique! Here’s our story 💗
2 years ago, Trevor {my spouse} bought me my very first machine! For about 2/3 weeks I just made shirts for close friends, personal use, and family! Word quickly started traveling around.. And that’s when we decided to start the online boutique!
For months, I had my machine and my heat press and I sat on a bedroom floor in my moms house making tees! THEN we upgraded to 2 saw horses with a board across it 😂 Crazy.. BUT this kept my back from killing me 🥴😂. Then after a couple weeks of that.. I finally saved enough money to get a T A B L E! 🙌🙌🙌 {best. day. ever.}
I worked in my parents spare room for an entire Y E A R!!! In that year we grew so much, I decided to quit my job and do this full time. Then we came to a point where I was completely out of room and had to do something! Trevor kept pushing me to get a store front.. but I was just so scared to take the leap. After him continuing to push me, we finally found the perfect S T O R E front in February 2020! 😭😭😭😭 we were on cloud 9 and so excited!!! But…. once we signed our lease.. we were told we couldn’t open.. at the time no one had any idea when things would open back up. Instant heart break. From February-May 2020, we had no idea what we were going to do. BUT first of May we got the green light that we could open.. so we opened May 9th, 2020!
It has been an absolute whirlwind since we opened! It’s been HARD, but it has been so worth it! We have met some incredible friends who have turned into a 2nd family! You all have celebrated the highs with me, and cheered me on and encouraged me through the lows! I will forever be thankful for all the love + support over the past 2 years. Without all of you, I would not be able to chase this crazy dream of mine! ❤️❤️ I owe ALL of this to my customers.. we are nothing without you. 🥰🥰
Looking back on the past 2 years.. from sitting in my parents floor.. to having a store and we now have a 2nd location in Piggott Arkansas inside Madpies. This dream we have chased for 2 years, still feels like a dream. I owe it all to my customers for trusting me and supporting me 1000% during this process. 💗
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this blog! Your support does not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful.
Much love,
Madison 🥰
