As I begin to dismantle my website store, I’m forced to confront all of the memories I’ve built over the past 5 years. It really has been 5 years since I began K & R Styles. I know that there are many things that I plan to do along the way, but right now, this seems right. I’ve wanted to find a nice balance between all the things I have going on and all the things I plan to do, and I know that I can’t do what I need to if I’m still holding on to the past.

So thanks for the memories.

We will be closing down the ecommerce portion of our store as of the first of the year. All of our current products will be migrated over to our Etsy store under the rebranded The Pink Shovel Studio. The stress of this current store on my server is causing my blogs to run slower than usual, and without many sales on this site, I cannot see keeping it in the foreseeable future. I had planned to switch over, anyhow, and this gives me ample opportunity to do just that.

If you have never checked out our Etsy Store: The Pink Shovel, then you are missing out. After the New Year we will be switching this over to a wholesale and blanks site. It would do wonders to check them out as much of our Saturday Spotlight until then will be about The Pink Shovel.

We just started posting Christmas items over there, and we will be doing two market fairs (one on November 16 and one on December 7th) to establish The Pink Shovel as a local community business. For Christmas, we will be offering handmade Christmas stockings, ornaments, aprons, earrings, shirts, and other home goods. Everything is coming up Christmas!

One of the things that I had planned to do a few years ago was to take K and R Styles LLC down a different route. Now that so many things are beginning to fall into place, I’ll be able to move forward with some of my plans.

Items that come from my studio that I have made are being sold on Etsy. The Pink Shovel Studio is my sewing and creating studio. With that being said, K and R Styles LLC is going to be the larger company over the smaller ones, and will house the blanks used by The Pink Shovel. This is not the first time that I have set out to transition to this journey, but it is the first time that I will be able to make some actual traction. The first time I did this, so much went wrong.

So be sure to keep an eye out as we begin this process.

I thought I’d take some time today and answer some of our most frequently asked questions.

Q. How long have you been in business?

A. K and R Styles has been in business since 2019. I had a bad episode that sent me to the hospital, and while in there, I came up with the idea and on October 25th, I put it into motion.

Q. What does the K and the R stand for?

A. Those are my grandchildren’s initials. The first ones to make me a grandmother. I now have 7 grandchildren in total.

Q. Why don’t you sell on Etsy anymore?

A. There are several reasons. The first is that you have to be careful in how you list things because of trademark and copyright infringements. The second is because I had too many strikes thinking that just because I handmade something, it was okay. It’s not. I actually had a viral video about it. But it is okay. I learned some things, and now I don’t have to pay Etsy’s exorbitant fees. At the end of the month, even if I sold 20 items, I owed Etsy. I couldn’t see passing those costs on to my customers just to make a profit. I would’ve had to increase my prices to 3x the amount just to see fifty cents of what I sold. It wasn’t worth it to sell you a $5.99 bib for $18 just so that I could make $1. Now I can make my $1, but your cost is a lot lower.

Q. Where do you get your patterns and designs?

A. I source those all over the internet. Plus, I also design my own. I’m good at being able to look at something and figure out how to create it based on garment construction. My grandmother taught me to sew without a pattern when I was 9. I don’t think that she read patterns. She just sewed.

Of course, spending July 4th with family is a must. It has to be with family, and it has to include grilling out.

We may come up with some crazy kind of game with the kids, or become kids ourselves chasing each other around with the water guns, but just know that it will involve being outside and having a blast just hanging out with family and friends.

For the food, it’s going to involve an absolute feast. We will definitely have grilled burgers, but the grilled hot dogs and the potato salad are going to be the stars of the show.

I’ve made the same potato salad for years. If you want the recipe, you’ll find it here.

The same goes with the chili for the hot dogs. You’re going to need a beer for that one. Find the recipe for the chili here.

Once you’ve made those, just know that people will be beating down the door to get to your next cookout.
