🧵🎈Happy 14th birthday and anniversary to Initial Stop! 🎈🧵
August 25, 2012 was our grand opening at 282 Main Street, Port Washington, NY. It is hard to believe that my leap of faith—leaving the corporate NYC design world and starting with just one commercial embroidery machine and a one-year lease in a quaint little shop—would lead to having four commercial 16-needle machines and 14 years of amazing clients and friendships!
I am grateful daily, and my heart smiles thinking of the clients for whom I stitched Sweet 16 party favors and college gear, who now have babies that I get to create for. Thank you all for being a part of this journey!
Also, hard to believe it’s already 6 years since we relocated to Boca Raton, Florida - shipping throughout the US!
