Hi everyone, welcome to the second week of my series Mom Boss Monday. Every Monday I will be featuring an amazing small business that is run by a Mom so that you can shop small easily, and support a Mom while doing so! I want to help empower other Moms to chase their dreams! If you missed last week’s Mom Boss Monday you can read that here. Make sure to subscribe in the sidebar on the right to make sure you never miss a Mom Boss Monday!
Meet Elena Owner of Ingleside Dreams:
“My name is Elena Wright and I’m the owner of Ingleside Dreams, a small shop where boho chic meets vintage loveliness and everything is handcrafted with care. I specialize in knit and crocheted hats, home goods, and accessories as well as handmade baby bibs. I am the mom to four little hat wearers, and they have been the inspiration for many of my pieces. I began my shop in 2016, shortly after the birth of my oldest daughter, when I began re-learning crocheting and made hats for her. Fast forward several years (and babies!) and I have added knitting and sewing to my skill set to be able to bring a variety of textures and textiles to my shop. I love the freedom and flexibility of owning my own small business and watching it grow while I stay home with my sweet babies.”
It is so much more than a source of income. It is a creative outlet for me, but even better than that, it is a way of teaching my kids about being self-sufficient and using their gifts to make the world a more beautiful place, one dream at a time.
I came across Elena’s shop and absolutely fell in love with her products and then I read her “about shop” section and fell in love with her business even more (I highly recommend reading it here.) My daughter Elsie is currently a faucet. She drools all day long, and honestly I am not a fan of the bibs we have. They absolutely ruin her outfits! That probably sounds silly, but it’s totally a problem for us. When I saw Elena’s bibs I knew I needed one asap!
They are so adorable, and also functional! I love that Ingleside Dreams specializes in reversible bibs. One side has a cute print while the other is a more neutral look, but so sweet with the added accents! I can tell based on the bib I got for Elsie her products are very high quality due to her attention to detail!
Here is a tiktok we filmed featuring this adorable bib and you can see how it took pretty basic outfits to the next level!
Ingleside Dreams does not have only bibs though, she also offers a variety of different handmade and one of a kind items in her shop. I really love that Elsie has original pieces like her bib, it’s the beauty of shopping small! Ingleside Dreams has everything from reversible bibs, to mommy & me beanies, boho coasters, baby bonnets, scarves, and blankets. Unlike big box stores, each item is 100% original and one of a kind.
Do not see what you are looking for? Elena will work with you and try to bring your vision to life with a custom order, just message her to talk about the options she offers.
