I started sewning for friends I would make renaissance clothing and just hang them in my craftroom and I would have friends come over and see what I was up to in my craftroom and see the dresses and ask to buy them. Which made me feel good so I started selling them on Ebay, I had such an overwhelming responce I had people contacting me for custom orders I ended up doing weddings. My twin sister told me about Etsy so I open a shop up on hear, I broaden my horizen by other items I wanted to try and make and have had a huge responce. I have sooo many ideas and thoughts of things I would like to do and get out there I just wished I had more hands eventually I will put my clothing line on here too. So beside being on ebay and etsy my items are also being sold in local stores. I have done items for models , actors, fashion designers, weddings, wholesale for companies and have shipped all around the world a dream come true. The name of my shop is also a dream come true. The name of my shop is my son's name and with his name on my shop and product it makes me make sure I do my best because he is just one of the two loves of my life and all I want to do is honor him. I know Im blessed to have had this oppertunity to exspress myself through my crafts I have so many ideas Im concently drawing them out so I can remember them I books and books and one day I will get them all on here for everone to see and buy and thank you thank you I know without you willing to give me a shot and my items there would not be a ChristienCollection I thank my newbie customers and all my return customers I am humble God Bless and Thank you Melinda♥ I work very hard to support my family and hope that my business with continue to grow so I can further supporting them
