You are an entrepreneur who is building your business, perfecting your service and product, and also creating your brand, but what exactly is a brand? You will find thousands and thousands of definitions.  If you went to college for business and took marketing you know it’s cemented in your head that the brand is the logo, symbol, design, and beautifully cohesive Instagram feed. This simple concept from the past has evolved – a brand is not just what you present to your ideal customers and clients in how you want them to perceive your brand it is also your ideal market’s experience of YOU! The gold mine of your success is when your brand is aligned with how your customers experience your brand.   It is vital that everything in your business is consistent and precise – everything should be crystal clear. Unfortunately, when it comes to meeting your clients, your big photoshoot for your business, or being interviewed or featured in a magazine – you realize your clothes do not align with your brand and you have nothing to wear, resulting in a mini meltdown. A missing piece for entrepreneurs and small business owners is their clothes! They want their brand to be fresh, fun, and innovative but in their photos they are wearing a black blazer with pearl earrings – talk about unalignment in your branding.

Hi! My name is Amanda Sulyi and I’m a northerner who transplanted to the south. I lived in Ohio for 25 years, and then moved to Raleigh, NC where I have been for the last 16 years. I am married and the proud mom of almost 10 year old twins, and a 4 year old giant yellow lab.

I started this hobby of making jewelry as something to do while I watched sports on TV. I love watching sports of all kinds, it is a big part of my life. My shop name acutally comes from the nickname of one of my favorite athletes, who is a race car driver. I had made several pieces of jewelry for friends as gifts and they always had told me that I needed to sell what I made. In 2014, my New Year’s resolution was to start an Etsy shop. I followed through on that resolution and here I am. My work is ever evolving, when I get a new idea and go for it…..and I love the outcome.

I truly enjoy it when someone purchase one of my pieces as a gift for a friend or loved one. I believe handmade gifts are the best, because it comes from the heart and there is intention and thought behind such a special gift.

I hope you enjoy what you see…..if you are looking for something in particular, send me a convo and I’d be happy to make something just for you! 🙂

I love making fun and colorful creations that become a part of people’s everyday lives and special memories. In my shop, you’ll find handmade mobiles, nursery and children’s decor, and more.

I have two great kids who keep me busy – as I create new designs that make me feel happy, I am reminded of the things I treasure most.

I am a Ruby Ribbon Stylist and we believe women are beautiful inside and out.  Our signature product is our shapewear.  Yes we have the cami that allows you to say Bye, Bye, Bra! Ruby Ribbon has developed a collection of camis and deminettes that stand up against the discomfort of traditional bras. The garments give women of all shapes and sizes the support they need and want without painful underwires. The proprietary variable compression smoothes tummies and supports backs without squeezing or riding up.

I do Personal Style Appointments, Cami Challenges and Trunk Shows.  Let me show you how you can have a breast reduction and tummy tuck without the knife!!!

For our Mom’s To Be and Nursing Moms we have a Nursing Cami that can be worn during pregnancy then after that not only is comfortable, supportive and easy to use while breastfeeding, it also helps you feel confident while your tummy shrinks back down to it original size.

For our sports enthusiast  we now have a Sports Demiette! This demiette supports all cup sizes up to size 50, wirefree. Wicking antimicrobial fabric will keep your cool, comfortable and odor free. Racerback with adjustable straps provides comfortable support you can move in.

Our other two product lines are the Legs (leggings and pants) which have built in shaping. Then we have the Fashion Layers that works well with or without our shapewear.

Need some extra income this is still a ground floor opportunity so contact me for more information. Better yet

Frustrated that good vintage style dresses are either extremely fragile, the wrong shape for today’s bodies or too expensive, I turned to creating my own designs.

I started making clothes for my daughters back in the 1980s. They’re all grown up now, very much into the Vintage scene and my youngest asked if I could make her a dress.

So I returned to college, studied garment construction, pattern drafting and tailoring techniques, developing the skills to make any women/child a beautiful bespoke dress, jacket or outfit for any special occasion.

It’s so lovely to return to exhibiting at craft and vintage fairs, meeting so many new people.

And now I’ve started passing my skills on through a series of sewing classes; from beginners taking their first steps in sewing, to giving intermediates the confidence and experience they desire to create their own garments and designs.
