ā¤ļø What happens when you take something you’ve loved since childhood, add a little faith, and turn it into a business?
Sometimes, you create something WONDERFUL.
This week, Hello Hello is crossing state lines for the very first time! We’re recording our first episode in North Carolina, right in the heart of downtown Reidsville at Wonderfully Made Handcraft Studio and Boutique!
And trust me, this is a place you’re going to want to visitāespecially with the holidays right around the corner! š
I’m sitting down with owner Magan to hear how her love for art turned into a business that now features approximately 50 local makers and vendors, a creative studio, custom gifts, and a welcoming space for people of all ages.
Magan’s journey didn’t start with a storefront.
It started with a little girl who loved craft kits, grew into a woman working in social work and mortgage lending, and eventually rediscovered her creativity while making jewelry at home with her best friend.
What began as Faith Over Fear handcrafted jewelry grew into vendor markets, local boutiques, art classes, flower preservation, and eventually Wonderfully Made.
And when Magan decided to take the leap and pursue her dream full-time, she faced plenty of uncertainty.
But through every challenge, she says her faith kept her going.
Now, two years after opening her first shop, she’s expanded into a larger location and created something that goes far beyond retail.
And here’s something I especially love: You don’t have to sign up for a class to get creative!
During regular open-studio availability, you can stop by, choose a project, and create something of your own. Many projects can even go home with you the very same day!
Whether you’re shopping for one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts, planning a girls’ night, looking for something fun to do with your kids, or just wanting to support a small business with a beautiful story, Wonderfully Made has something for you.
But my favorite part of this conversation is Magan’s message to anyone who’s been thinking about pursuing a dream:
Be true to what you love. Don’t give up. Take the leap of faith.
