Friendly Feature {Honesuckle Road}

Hey there friends!

Wanna get to know a super cool lady who makes super cool jewelry???  Deonne from Honeysuckle Road is today's friendly feature.  Her accessories are SO personal and cute, and she is just the sweetest of ladies.  Go check out her shop!!


How did you get started with your Etsy shop?
I started making jewelry and working with metals as a hobby. I enjoyed being able to give my family & friends gifts with sweet words or quotes that were meaningful to them.  I loved Etsy but didn't decide to open my shop until my husband was deployed. I thought it would be good for me to have an extra distraction since at the time we were living several states away from our family & most of our close friends.  It didn't necessarily work as a distraction since business was very slow in the beginning but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made! 
 
 
What do you love most about what you do?
I actually love the work that I do. I enjoy creating personalized pieces that are special to others. I especially enjoy connecting with customers and hearing their stories about why they are buying something in particular or why they want it customized a certain way. 
 

What is your favorite quote and why? 
My all time favorite quote is by Gandhi, " Be the change you wish to see in the world." I think it's beautiful, inspiring, and great words to live by.

Any advice for newbie artists trying to get their sell on?
I would say the best piece of advice for someone just starting would be to be true to yourself and your work, try not to compare yourself to others by how well or how poorly they are doing, be patient, & work hard.  

That Gandhi quote is one of my faves as well.  I love these inspiring pieces!

  1. The best suggestion for somebody just beginning is always to believe in yourself as well as your work, do not compare you to ultimately others because when well or how poorly they're doing, have patience, & strive.

  2. Lovely feature on Honesuckle Road! As someone who deals with bronchitis symptoms, I appreciate resources that can help me manage my condition. Speaking of resources, Meri Sehat's online medical services have been incredibly helpful in educating me about my health and providing me with the necessary care.

  3. I loved reading the "Friendly Feature {Honesuckle Road}" post and seeing the beautiful lawn collection pieces from Ittehad Textile's summer collection. It's inspiring to see a company dedicated to sustainable and ethical practices while still producing stunning fashion. It's a win-win for both the environment and our wardrobes!

  4. Great feature on Honeysuckle Road! I appreciate your attention to detail and storytelling. As a Ph.D. candidate, I understand the importance of thorough research and dissertation writing. Your work is a testament to both. Keep up the good work!
