Meet the Owner
Beth Ann Wilson
I started my business in 2022 after deciding that I loved being creative. One day she started putting baskets together for a karaoke event fundraising and raising awareness for Support Within Reach and realized how much fun it was. My boss, Katy & coworker, Ashley told me that I should really go for my dream and cheered me on throughout the difficult and grueling pro
cess of deciding how to embark on this journey. They hung my many keychains and plaques in their offices and looked at way too many pictures. My family members proudly carried around my keychains, my dad fell in love with my laser cutter. My niece begged for inappropriate t-shirts and asked to help at shows, and my baby great nephew became the proud owner of the cutest onesie ever. Many friends smiled and graciously cheered and became the owners of keychains, plaques and t-shirts that I just had to make for them because "this made me think of you and I just had to make it!" Each night I lost sleep from the enthusiasm of finding the perfect image or saying for each person and I showed them way too many pictures of my proud production process. I decided my friends, family and coworkers (family) were right. It was time to do something I was scared to death of; sell my items and become Beth Ann's Baskets and More. Of course, life's ups and downs hit hard: love, loss, grief, death, work problems, family health/dilemmas, personal health/dilemmas and relationship/friendship complications hit. I became scared to sell once again. I became discouraged for a while but was reminded by the same people who encouraged me in the beginning to chase my dream. I was reminded that I could start over and follow the path to find my passion, spunk and once again chase my dream. Today I still love making my one-of-a-kind baskets based on each person's personalities. I also make t-shirts and keychains for area bands, businesses, small town sports teams and activities. My family loves to bring me a saying and ask excitedly: "Can you make this for me?" my first question: "Is it appropriate for school?" lol. This journey continues as I add more and more to my business every couple of months. As my business grows and lessons are learned, I do the same. Not only do I grow as a business owner, but as a person as well. Thank you for taking this journey with me and welcome, welcome to Beth Ann's Baskets and More. I look forward to taking this journey with you. Enjoy the ride.
