Hello, my name is Felicity am 24 years going on 25. I have had an interesting childhood growing up as a step-daughter/sister. However through hard work I managed to complete both primary and high school.I got a chance to attend university but due to financial constraints and trouble at home I dropped out in my second year of school. I did menial jobs before I managed to put enough money together to start a small business selling second hand clothes to friends and neighbors. I could not sustain myself with the little profits I made so i started making shaggy mats and crocheting bags and other items for sale.
I sell handmade bags, necklaces and area rugs. Currently handmade items are very much in demand since most of my clients prefer unique items.I also crochet baby blankets and clothes for sale. This has been a good business as it has been paying my bills and helping me get by.
I would like to purchase a dress display mannequin that can be used to not only display clothes but also the handmade jewelry and crochet items I make. I would also like to purchase a fabric steamer to help in blocking the items I crochet and removing wrinkles and dust stains from the clothes am selling. I would also like to buy a phone with a good camera to take better pictures since I rely heavily on online sales. I believe with this I will be able to make more sales hence profits will increase and I will eventually be able to open a physical shop where I can display all my items, both handmade and secondhand clothes.
