I haven’t posted a feature Friday in a while! Today I wanted to dedicate it to a past client of mine, Sarah!…and since I am traveling tomorrow, I’m posting the Feature Friday on THURSDAY
…..because it’s my blog and I can do that!
Many of you know I met Sarah back in 2008. She was my very very first “non-friend” client. She contacted me through Oplove and the rest was history. I did the Oplove shoot, the homecoming shoot, her wedding. I’m bummed she moved before she had her first baby. But Sarah has been up to lots of things. She’s a busy lady. In the last two years Sarah has gotten married and adopted her husbands little girl, finished college, had another baby girl, and moved down to California. AND she’s still going to school to get her Bachelors! Whew!….and I thought I was busy! I recently found out through Facebook that Sarah started her own company called The Ribbon Room. For all you friends out there with little baby girls and those of you who are photographers, give Sarah a call and order your ribbons and bows today! Here’s a little more about Sarah and the Ribbon Room:
1.What made you decide to start The Ribbon Room?
I would go into “cutesie” little boutiques and see all these bows I LOVED and wanted for my girls but then I would see the price tags. I couldn’t realistically see myself paying $8-$10 for a single bow! So I decided to make bows for my girls, I posted a few pictures on my facebook just to show my friends and family how cute they turned out, and those same friends and family loved them and decided they couldn’t live without them. What started as a single order has blossomed into 2, then 3, then an order for 60 for an entire cheerleading squad. I decided there are a lot of other moms and obviously other people that don’t want to pay boutique prices for boutique style bows.
2. What kind of products to you carry or make?
Right now I offer 7 different Ribbon Room bows as well as bow holders. And if I don’t have the style of bow you are wanting I am sure I can learn it. I offer 32 different solid colors and I can get pretty much any pattern or print you can think of.
3. How can people order products from you?
They can order my products directly from my newly designed etsy!!!

Or email me directly at theribbonroom@yahoo.com
4. What is your inspiration?
My girls! Taylor is 7 and Carly is almost 6mths.
5. You’re a busy mom of 2, how do you find time for everything?
Thankfully I have been blessed with 2 incredibly easy girls! Taylor is in the 1st grade so she is at school all day and Carly is the easiest baby (knocks on wood) that anyone could be blessed with and we have a pretty good schedule. It gives me a lot of freedom to work with.
6. Tell us a little about you.
I am a Navy wife.
I am a Texan.
I am also going to school to earn my bachelors to become a teacher. I should graduate in the spring of ’11.
7. Tell us something totally random about you?
I count everything! And it always has to be in odd numbers.
8. What is your absolute favorite product that you make?
The korkers! I always saw them in stores and wondered how in the world did they get the ribbon to stay in a spiral… the secret, you cook the ribbon wrapped around a dowel!!! They are a lot of fun to make and super cute!!!
9. How much are your products?
Mommy-fordable! My bows range from $2 for the simple boutique bow to $5 for the largest 5” stacked boutique bow.
***AUTHORS NOTE*** OMG guys, seriously! EVERYONE can afford $2-$5! What a great deal!
10. What if someone has a custom idea to make, how do you handle those requests?
I love custom orders! I have had customers that tell me exactly what they want or I have customers that say their little girl loves pink, or monkeys… to we are Red Sox or Eagles fans…. all the way to “have fun with it”… Whether it is a custom order or I have the freedom to express my creativity I want my customers and their girls (or gift recipients) to love their Ribbon Room bows.
So there you have it! Thanks so much Sarah for sharing your great designs with us! GO, check out her Etsy site!
