FEATURED ETSY SHOP: Hot Lava Clothing

Girls A Line Tunic Dress Damask Sugar Spice
Today, I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite shops on Etsy - Hot Lava Clothing. I was recently introduced to this shop through a blog giveaway, which I was lucky enough to win. My daughter was thrilled to receive the Halloween skirt, and requests to wear it as often as I can wash it. Due to her thin figure and the elastic waist band, I won't be surprised if she's still able to wear it next Halloween. The quality is top notch, and the fabric has not faded at all after repeated washings. I asked Tammy to tell me more about herself and the history of her shop:

"Hot Lava Clothing offers custom handmade boutique style clothing for kids and a limited women's line inspired by Hawaii’s tropical landscape and lifestyle.  I started HLC because I found it hard to find quality clothing that fit my younger children who are slim, and I often had to alter things anyway.  My goal is to provide customers with top quality items at reasonable prices and excellent customer service.  I love designing and creating clothes for my own kids and enjoy sharing them with others too.  Everything I sell is handmade from start to finish.

I am a busy mom of 5 (yes five) and have been pleasantly surprised at how my business has continued to grow much like the kids.  I’ve been fortunate enough to work from home for nearly 10 years now.  My work background is Retail Management/Buying, Home Mortgage Financing, and Real Estate - all of which have provided me valuable experience that has helped me with my current business.  While I enjoyed each of those over the past 20 years, I found myself looking for something more creative.  Ever since I can remember, I’ve always dabbled in some sort of craft.  I learned how to knit and crochet at 8, did a lot of card/scrapbooking, and of course, sewing.  I’d really like to try jewelry making but haven’t yet, but I think it would be something fun for my kids to do with me.

You can find Hot Lava Clothing on Etsy, Artfire, Facebook, and Twitter.

I hope you enjoy Hot Lava Clothing as much as I do.
