How It All Started

Hello there everyone, this blog is my way of sharing a little bit about the daily workings within Nichelle's Boutique.  You'll be able to see what goes on behind the scenes as well new products for sale and even projects in the works.  My hope is that this blog will be a good way to open the lines of communication for you as the customer, to be able to give feedback or your thoughts on products available or even ideas for products your would like to see in the future. 

Nichelle's Boutique was started in the corner of my dining room after a day of Art's & Crafts with my four niece's and the purchase of my first sewing maching.  The feeling that I had after I made my first bag was incredible, that sense of accomplishment from knowing that I had made that bag from start to finish was just unforgetable.  Needless to say I didn't stop at just the one bag, I had finally found my niche... that thing that everyone is always looking for in that back of their minds, the one thing that truly makes them feel as though they are playing or having fun instead of working.

I started by making different sizes and styles of bags that I would use and actually testing them out in my everyday life to see if they would really hold up in everyday situations... since I am the proud mother of a 2 1/2 year old boy I figured this was a good endurance test for any size bag I could think of.  We packed each bag full of toys, diapers, juice cups, extra juice, books and of course what would normally be in my purse to see if these bags could truly pass the test, and to this day I personally guarantee my bags!
