What began as The Rustic Stamp in 2015, started as a Christmas gift from my husband – a metal stamping kit – soon became a passion for creating one-of-a-kind gifts that brought joy to others. When COVID hit in 2020, our family's finances were hit hard, but it opened the door for me to evaluate my business and make new decisions for the future. In 2021, I rebranded my business as Rustic Den Boutique, which allowed me to expand into the world of laser cutting and engraving, providing a wider range of unique gifts for my customers. By 2023, I decided to focus solely on laser engraving, which brought me the most joy. Crafting and creating have always been my passions, and owning my own business has allowed me to channel them into something meaningful. Additionally, it has provided the flexibility to homeschool my children while working from home. In early 2023, my mom made the decision to join my business, bringing with her a line of layered wall art and engraved cutting boards.
