We Are Growing!

by Karen on October 31, 2010

Karen - hard at work.

You all know that Leah started this business 6 years ago with StarFire Jewelry and it has since grown to UnkamenGifts, UnkamenSupplies, FavMoonGirl, and UnkamenKeyChains.  Well, now we have outgrown our Etsy shop and are going to have our very own site!  We will still sell on Etsy, so all you die-hard Etsyians don’t have to worry about not being able to get your favorite Helmrich creations there.

We are working on creating extensive FAQs, a community page, and drop-down color choices for a fast and easy shopping experience.  Leah will be able to have her original “baby” back with a StarFire Jewelry line for her more grown-up pieces and buying jump rings just the way you want them will be a snap!

Everything is in the works and we are all very excited for the day when we are fully up and running!
