Hello.  My name is Mary and I am the owner/ some proprietor of Something Really Nice L.L.C ( http://www.Somethingreallynicellc.com ) I am active on Facebook and Instagram currently and planning to launch a YouTube channel... soon, lol.  I am located in Florida,  USA.  I ship anywhere in the U.S. 

 

I make handcrafted items of carrots types such as: resin art,  handmade jewelry,  labels,  stickers,  and recently expanding to do woodworking products and river tables.   

 

I started my business in 2021 after the v death of my father when my disabled brothers care became my full time responsibility and I was no longer able to work a standard job due to his 24/7 case needs.   

 

I love to craft and it keeps me grounded. I try to keep my progress reasonable and product quality high.   Please feel free to look over my website and products and provide feedback.   Really trying to kick next v year of and start working this life a job so to speak so I can't gain some momentum.   

 

My goals are really very simple for the coming year.  Steady growth,  increasing my regular orders, and launching my advertising plan.  

 

Thanks again for looking over my business info.

Hi, we opened a brick and mortar art supply store Art Paint Draw LLC  Fall of 2024 in Arizona USA. I'm using squareup for my POS and trying to figure out how to integrate it into online sales for local pickup and for scheduling classes. It's been a learning curve for sure.

We own Mamie’s Toffee & Treats. We started 14 years ago as a way to save our home from foreclosure (we didn’t save the home), but we started a small business. 

We have had some ups and downs in the 14 years. We started out doing craft shows and farmers markets. We had a friend that worked for a park, where they had weekend concerts. We were asked if we could do concessions. I have a motto say yes figure it as you go. My wife has a different look on that side of me. We figured it out! We did really well for some years then they started bringing in food trucks. We still had a line so we were happy. 

Then Covid hit we’re sure everyone had issues during this time! We had support from our community and a bbq place that hosted us after things settled down.

 

Then in 2021 we purchased a shuttle bus to build out to help us grow more to provide our services. We built the bus out and started in late 2022 driving the bus. Wow 2023 we hit the ground rolling. We had one our best years. Then came the news the park we had spent so many years said no more food trucks or outside food service will be allowed. At first we were upset then took a moment to reflect. We had so many offers for other concerts. 

Then the shoe really dropped on us in October 2023. It was time to get a heart transplant. We asked how urgent as we already had events lined up. They told us by the end February if that works for us. February 21st hospital to run test again and numbers didn’t look good. Well fast forward 4 months hospital stay and new heart. My first thought was what shows are we doing. My wife looked at me said none. I didn’t realize how bad things had gone.
