More info
Shop Name: saraLane boutique
What you like to go by: Sara or Sara Lane
When did you start your shop? About a month and a half ago.
Is this your only job?
Not at the moment; I started my Etsy shop as a way to create and share with others, as well as to help save for my next semester of college. Now I have found a part time job, but I plan on continuing with my shop open.
When did you realize you had this talent?
Just last year, during a 20-year-old, "where-is-my-life-going" crisis, someone close to me suggested I start doing what I enjoy, as simple as it sounds. So I started with artistic hobbies that gave me a way to keep busy and peace of mind, through any material I found in the house. Now I have much greater plans for my shop!

Where do you find your inspiration?
I find inspiration from whatever environment I am in at the time, which has been nature as of late. I love creating items that resemble natural things, such as flowers, bird's eggs, trees, and feathers. I even started an Etsy team for those who are inspired by similar interests.
Who has been the most supportive of your work?
My boyfriend that actually helped with opening my shop (and contributed to its fees), as well as my parents and friends. My father has been active with advertising on my shop's Facebook page, and my close friend has been spreading the word through her social networks.

What is one thing you would like to accomplish that you haven't yet?
I would like to eventually open a shop for those who love thrifting, antiques, books, and retro/vintage fashion, for both men and women.
What are your words to live by or favorite quote?
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," by Albert Einstein. If I had never realized this, I would have not pursued my interests as hobbies, and become better for it.

New Link!

phaedra and our lettersImage by lukemontague via FlickrA while back I started a the Pen Pal Exchange Project on tumblr. I have added this link at the top of this blog in case anyone is interested in pen pals. We have 133 members and counting since it has started. I'm very proud of how it has grown.

There are a few reasons why I love pen paling so much. It keeps you writing. Once you get going sometimes it's hard to stop. Sometimes you write things down you didn't even know you felt. It's a great way to organize your brain, vent, grow or heal.
Another reason, the United States Postal Service is in rough shape. They are always talking about their own demise. I don't want to live in a world without a mail system. So snail mail is the way that I support USPS.
You can make some really wonderful life long friends and learn a great deal from people far away who aren't much different that you or I, although diversity is a wonderful thing!
