This giveaway is now closed.
Today’s sponsored feature & giveaway is from Kristi of Barn Owl Primitives. Reading through her interview, which is more like having a 1-on-1 conversation with Kristi, gave me goosebumps. The words she uses and the encouragement she shares and her story and wisdom and heart for handmade is exactly what this blog is all about ~ so I’ve highlighted bits & pieces that really spoke to me, things I thought would speak to you, too :]
I’m so proud to be working with Kristi; I hope you’ll take a few minutes to soak in her advice, because it’s so good!!!, and then at the end there’s a super generous giveaway for you to enter. ENJOY + happy Friday!
My name is Kristi and I’m a mom to Maddie and Connor, wife to Sean and a daughter, sister, aunt and friend to many. I’m a day dreamer with a LONG list of projects yet to be completed. I’m a lover of coffee and all things vintage. And I’m the creator of Barn Owl Primitives.
A few years ago, when money was tight and making handcrafted Christmas gifts seemed like the way to go, I started making hand painted door hanging snowmen for my family and friends. They were well-received and friends of friends started placing orders. That snowballed into Barn Owl Primitives {BOP} and a little shop on Etsy. Since Snowmen eventually melt I needed to add some things to my shop that would last all year. I started with my You are My Sunshine and a Family Rules Typography Word Art Signs. Things were slow at first, but after months of marketing my shop on facebook, building relationships with fellow shop owners and bloggers, I started to see some steady sales. During those first few slow months, I read every article on the Etsy blogs about building a good business. I educated myself on what it means to create a brand and I set out to make BOP something that people would recognize. I focused my energy and efforts on making new and exciting products and looked for big and small ways to set myself apart from my competition.
It’s important not to get too comfortable or too complacent in your business. Challenge yourself to always be moving forward. Set goals and continually revisit them and constantly set new ones.
I have sold signs to some pretty amazing people. My We Can Do Hard Things sign is hanging in the Etsy Corporate Office in New York City and the MTV Office in London. Brené Brown purchased my Playroom Rules sign and I almost fell off the couch when I received the order. But by far the orders that I am most proud of are from people you’ve never heard of — The daughter who purchased a sign for her dad’s 70th birthday with all the sayings he’s been repeating to her for the last 46 years. The mother who allowed me to see and paint the special and private poem that she repeats to her autistic son each night before he goes to bed. The grandmother who ordered my Strength of My Love sign for her granddaughter, who spent almost a year in the NICU before finally coming home. The mother who lost her twelve year old son to an unthinkable accident during a flood. These are just a few of the accomplishments that I am the most proud of and the one’s that make what I do so rewarding and worthwhile.
Starting this business has been such an amazing journey for me. I’ve gained friends, grown my confidence, tapped into a creative side I didn’t know existed, and developed a love of handmade products.
If you are thinking about starting you own shop the best advice I can offer you is this:
* We Can Do Hard Things.
* Owning and growing a successful business is HARD WORK. But, it is that hard work that will set you apart from your competition.
* That hard work that will drive you to produce quality products and to be passionate about what you create.
Remember, you are not alone. There is an entire community of people willing to help you. There are fellow shop owners, bloggers, customers, fellow creatives, and friends that want to see you succeed. Ask for help when you need it and more importantly, accept help when it is offered.
It’s been such an honor to share a little bit about myself with you here today! Hope to see you around the Barn real soon!!

BOP has been marked as a favorite shop of mine on Etsy for quite some time. I don’t know if I can pick a fovorite, I’m really wanting the Strength of My Love for my daughter’s room, and the Family Rules by the Kids for the living room because I think it’s so important to remember they’re just little once, and a little extra of the fun stuff is always good!
I love the family rules live simply sign – I have been wanting it for a while now!
So excited to be a new follower of both of you to keep inspired!

LOVE….LOVE….LOVE THE “We Can Do Hard Things.”. My husband and I own and operate a small business and are at the point where we need to decide whether he quits his full-time job and we concentrate on building the business. This would be the perfect daily reminder that we can do it!
I absolutely LOVE the “Have yourself a merry little Christmas” sign. Perfect for the mantel in our first house :)
I am SO excited!!! I would have to say that my number one desired item at the moment from BOP is the “wash your hands, say your prayers” sign! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
