A little about my background...I refer to the 25+ years that I worked as an Executive Admin and Corporate Event Planner as my first career. I worked for Sony in New Jersey for nearly 14 years, and upon moving to Arizona I worked for Arizona State University Foundation. When my husband retired and we moved to Arkansas (the State I was born in and where the majority of my family resides) I tried out
retirement too, and it just wasn't for me. I had always dabbled in making my own wreaths and floral arrangements, and after our move I began doing the same for my family members. Everyone loved them so much they began recommending I sell them. And Charlie Boy Wreaths was born. The Charlie you see on my logo and banners was my dog who passed in 2015. His death coincided with my friends and families' insistence that I sell my wreaths, and at the time it just seemed like a way to honor my furry little BFF. I began doing local arts and craft shows and festivals, and I opened my Etsy shop the summer of 2016. And the growth has astounded even me! I began my business as Charlie Boy Wreaths, but have recently rebranded as Charlie Boy Designs to include tabletop decor, centerpieces, holiday baskets, and locally, home holiday decorating services. I opened my first Charlie Boy popup shop locally last holiday season, and I was invited to demonstrate how to make a wreath on "Good Morning Arkansas," In January I made my first trip to market in Dallas. I continually look for ways to expand and improve Charlie Boy Designs. I've recently been dabbling in Facebook Live as a way of getting info about CBD out, and to share my experiences. I belong to several subscription services on everything from how to improve my Etsy shop, to how to make the newest wreath designs. It's not enough to just throw a wreath together. I hunt for the best quality accessories and materials I can find, and offer my clients a product that is both high end and unique in design. Making sure I can offer my clients an excellent shopping experience that makes them happy they spent their hard earned dollars with Charlie Boy Designs, is my number one priority. Thank you for visiting our shop
