Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Parrish.
Hi Nicole, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have always been a crafty person. I have done a lot of scrapbooking in my days, I went to school to become a Teacher (hence why I think I still have the crafty in me). Ever since my oldest had her first birthday I always bought her a birthday shirt or outfit, so I thought instead of giving other people money why not start making them myself. So I did, I started my small shop in the summer of 2018. I have made several items and love continuing to do so.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It was a bit rough in the beginning but I realized some of my best supporters were my closest friends and family. Without them I wouldn’t be where I am today. They have been supporting me from day one. I think having a big support system is really key.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I create anything really that has to do with vinyl. My machine can cut all different kinds of things. I do shirts, cups, canvases, birthday decorations, home decorations.
I’m most proud of sticking with it and not giving up on this small dream of mine. I try to be different, I’m obsessed with Halloween so I tend to make a lot of Halloween items.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I have been very outgoing, lovable, very passionate and whole-hearted. I love doing anything crafty, watching movies, spending time outside.

It’s a blessing to be able to thrive and be noticed in a field that you’re good in. Hard work and perseverance gets you there. As Nicole‘s aunt and godmother I love her very much. I have seen her creativity flourish since she was a toddler. Which gives me the motivation to pursue my own small business endeavor that I had started and put to the wayside. She is a creative soul, and whatever fits your fancy I’m sure she’d be able to find a solution for all your giftable needs.

It’s wonderful to be acknowledged in a field that you care about. Hard work and perseverance will get you there. As Nicole‘s aunt and godmother she has inspired me to re-think my small business endeavor that I had pushed aside and put on hold. i’ve watched her creativity flourish since she was a toddler. Whatever gift table you may have in mind I am sure she can come up with a solution for you.
There’s nothing better than receiving a gift that’s well thought of and personable. You won’t be disappointed.
