About Me

My photo
Welcome! I am a wife and crafter with a love for things hand made... I am in LOVE with my husband. I enjoy a good cup of tea, magazines, anything that has to do with the outdoors, and cooking organic. The number one thing in my life is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior- without him nothing would be possible, and I am eternally grateful for his mercy, love and the gift of everlasting life. I'm artsy- I do photography and have my own line of unique accessories for girls and women. I made this blog to share with you Stella Arbor Boutique- Enjoy!

How Stella Boutique got started...

So how was Stella Arbor Boutique born?

The idea of making sparkly and unique hair accessories actually came to me when I was just a little girl. I remember having a notebook full of drawings, color swatches and ideas for making hair clips, barrettes, headbands and so on...



However - as long as I was little ( and without a paycheck) I wasn't going to get anywhere... But one can dream! I kept that notebook forever, constantly adding to it, thinking up more and more fancy hair pieces that I dreamed one day I could make...


With time, my fascination with crafting became less and less of a possibility - and somehow my dream of having my own line of hair accessories diminished out of mind... School, jobs, and growing up all together became a first priority now - with no time for creativity. While in my last years of high school, however, I became fascinated with photography - and I was good!


My love of photography is I guess what made me rediscover my creativity... Though I kept on with being a photographer throughout the years (and still very much am) - it wasn't until I graduated from college as a dental assistant that I became obsessed with crafting and making hair accessories once again... Now that I had an official career- I had time for myself (and my husband of course - he has been such an encouragement to me pushing me to make bigger and better things) and the things that I love to do.
Yes, creativity keeps me sane... I love to create unique and beautiful things. That's how Stella Arbor Boutique was born (or reborn I guess you can call it...).
Oh yeah - and my husband (he totally came up with the name for my line) I love him :)
