Custom Ribbons
Name Maker may not have fully customizable clothing labels, but they do have awesome ribbons with customizable text! I had some made for Land of Gawk to make my shipments extra special. Cost me roughly a dollar per yard, gets cheaper as you order more. No duty!

Clothing Labels 4 U
I wanted to have some custom clothing labels made, so I did a bit of research and found a few online that looked promising:
www.clothinglabels4u.com
www.namemaker.com
and I have subsequently discovered that Grand & Toy has an agreement with a third party company to make custom clothing labels as well. Who knew?
I ended up going with Clothing Labels 4 U because they were the only company I could find that does fully customized labels (any size, and material, any font/image). Other companies, Name Maker included, only seem semi-customizable (i.e. you can customize the text and font but it come on a standard template). Clothing Labels 4 U sent me A TON of samples with the wide array of labels they can produce. I chose to have printed cotton labels.
The company is in the US, so I had to pay $40 shipping. Overall the labels cost me about $325 CAD for 250 labels. Not bad considering they were EXACTLY what I wanted. The only thing is that the whole process was a bit slow. My first contact with the company was June 17 and I finally got my labels on August 24!
Overall I'm very happy and recommend Clothing Labels for you if you need custom labels, but are not in a rush (I just hate to rush).
To the sewing machine!

Embossing Seal Update
After much deliberation and research, I ended up ordering my embossing seal at Grand & Toy. They didn't alter my design at all! It cost about $140 and took less than a week to come in.Very happy :) Now I just have to make some prints!

I'm No Graphic Designer, BUT...
I designed what I think is a pretty cool looking template for the customer embossing seal I plan to order (to emboss my water colour and ink prints).
What do you think?
I'ma get me one of these:

Starting Up
So, I've decided to start a small business. I know, I know: I'm the business student who thinks she can run a business without ever having run a business before... *groan* But, I'm determined to do it right and I'm starting very, very small.
I've got myself a master business licence with the same namesake as this blog, a small business bank account and an Etsy account. It's very humble! And of course I'll report all my income, however feable.
I'm hoping to use this blog as a platform for creativity and driving traffic, so tell your friends :) I better figure out how to make this blog look more professional in a hurry! I have no idea what I'm doing with HTML. Maybe Lindsay at the rookie's nest can help me. Her blog always looks amazing!
What will I sell, you ask? Stuff I make; and I'm leaving that wide open. I'm hopeful that I will hone in on some kind of specialization. Presently, I'm working on watercolour and ink prints (photos soon).
Words of support and sage advice about starting a business welcome.
Happy long weekend!
