Featured Home Business is a fairly new project on the SSM website. In an effort to support various entrepreneurial endeavors, we will be featuring home businesses every other month. This includes hosting a giveaway of one or more items, sharing information about the business and products as well as contact info for those who would like to purchase items, and a listing on our Featured Home Business page (which is coming soon). If you have a home (family-run) business and would like to have it featured on this website, please contact me for details at shiningstarsmagazine[at]gmail[dot]com.
Today I want to share about two home businesses that are run by two young ladies and we will be giving away two lovely items! First, let me tell you a little about the owner of Rosie’s Red Roses etsy shop.
Hello! My name is Rosi and I am a 17 year old daughter to two wonderful parents and I have two great sisters. I live in the hot state of AZ where we go from summer to winter and back to summer with a very short spring and autumn. Nevertheless, I love spending time outside photographing, taking walks and gardening, but I also enjoy sewing, reading, baking and crocheting.
The first business I started was Honor Your Head (a shop in which I sell headcoverings, bible covers and other handmade goodies) in about December 2010. I then decided to make another shop called Rosie’s Red Roses, where I sell totes, zippered pouches, wristlets, headbands and other cute things.
I really enjoy the picking of the fabrics, going to the store and seeing which fabrics would be perfect for the season we are in. Also, I enjoy photographing the products!
I would like to say that if you are a young lady who enjoys a craft or hobby and would like to make some money, definitely open a shop, you can learn many things including patience in YHWH’s timing! Go for it, you can do it with His help.
Rosi has kindly offered to give away a beautiful zipped pouch – just look at these pictures!
This is a lovely blue zippered pouch with white dots in a swirly pattern and a matching white zipper. The inside lining is grey making it hard to spot light stains. This pouch is perfect for all your necessities and perfect for organizing a larger bag or for grabbing it on the go if you do not want to carry a larger bag! Measures 7 1/2 x 4 1/2 so it is not overly large but will fit all your things!

The second home business that we are featuring this month, is Happy Hill Cards – a small entrepreneurial endeavor that was started by a young lady who I happen to know very well! Let me introduce her to you …
Hello! My name is Sarah Marianna Washburn, and I am 14 years old. I live in the beautiful country of middle Tennessee with my two parents and six siblings. My father and mothers names are Tom and Annie and my siblings are, Hannah (20), Tommy (19) Ruthie (17), Me (14), Abigail (12), Samuel (10), and Lydia (7). We live on a small farm where we raise dogs and have two goats, a lamb, chickens, and cats. My interests include, my Father in Heaven and His Son, my family, playing guitar and piano, dancing, playing soccer, working on the computer, taking care of children, school, writing my pen-pals, talking with friends, going to meetings, taking care of puppies, working on the cards, riding bikes and taking walks and playing with the best dog in the world … my baby Charlie :)
At Happy Hill Cards, I mainly sell handmade and handcrafted greeting cards, but I am planning on posting some handmade stationary on the blog too. The cards are all 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ unless specifically described differently. The cards are all made out of card stock, so they are nice and firm. They all come with envelopes. I have made these cards for a year now, but I have just recently posted them on the blog to sell.
I am not really sure what my favorite part about making the cards is. I like to decorate the blank card and turn it in to something pretty. I hope that the winner enjoys my cards. Thank you for holding this giveaway for me.
Sarah is giving away a set of five beautiful handmade cards!
Each of the cards is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and is made of quality card stock. Sarah does all of the artwork with a variety of pens, markers and colored pencils. This set comes with five envelopes as well.
So … do you want a chance to win one of these lovely gifts?!
