My name is Ashley Freake. I love painting and all things crafting! I am a stay at home mom to 3 crazy boys. I married the love of my life September 3rd, 2022 and I am still very obsessed with our wedding and my husband of course! My amazing aunt was able to provide the majority of our decor and she did SUCH an amazing job. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! I took it upon my crafty, ambitious self to make all of our wedding signs. My craft room is now full of wedding signs that I made and love, but what are the chances someone is going to buy a sign that says Ashley & Jonathon? HA!
So shortly after the wedding all I could think about was how I wish I could make and sell signs to other brides but found it hard in such a big city where I don't know many people and the market is so competitive. I then put even more thought into it. I started talking to my husband about a way to maybe rent signs... So down the rabbit hole I went!
What if I rented out wedding signs that were affordable? And someone couldn't say "I can buy it or make it for less". What if I was able to reuse my wood, or acrylic boards, or frames even if it meant painting or sanding over an old design or colour? This would save me money on products! What if I even did packages or themes/styles? Maybe the more they rent the more they save? What if I am able to offer delivery and pick up? The bride and groom would have less to worry about while trying to clear out a reception hall AND they wouldn't have a room full of signs the day after their wedding that they don't know what to do with... This is something i've been talking about for months and months so here I go, i'm diving in! My own little home business. ♥️
