I'm Chelsea,
the brains and heart behind HorseFeathers β where handmade jewelry meets a life less ordinary!
Back in 2009, I was done with the whole windowless office gig, spending eight hours a day writing inspection reports. So, in the midst of a classic early 20s crisis, I chucked the two weeks' notice, said goodbye to the corporate world, and dived headfirst into the magical land of handmade jewelry.
Starting off in a tiny bedroom of a single-wide trailer on my family farm, reality hit when that steady income disappeared. But armed with determination and fueled by Dr. Pepper, I took it all in stride. I hit up every craft show in sight and got my Etsy shop up and running like my grocery budget depended on it.
What was once just a small Etsy shop quickly blew up into a nationally recognized online brand β thanks to my grit and grind.
In just a few years, that little bedroom studio grew into a dedicated workspace, and the crowning glory came when I found myself not only opening my first studio but also jet-setting across the states for a live interview with FOX News. HorseFeathers was officially on the map, known for our meaningful gemstone jewelry and handcrafted charms.
Now, fourteen years later, HorseFeathers is a living testament to my never-give-up attitude. From flying solo, I'm now leading a team of fab folks, all adding their touch to the brand's awesome vibe. We've even sent our unique creations to over 50 countries β talk about taking the world by storm!
It's been a wild, crazy ride for me and the HorseFeathers crew β a journey marked by passion, persistence, and the belief that crafting isn't just about jewelry; it's a lifestyle celebrating you and the pursuit of your dreams. Cheers to bling, dreams, and living life HorseFeathers style! πβ¨
