Hi, I’m Lori, the girl behind the glitter! Graphic designer, decorator, crafter, entrepreneur, wine drinker, and lover of all things festive. If there’s a reason to celebrate, count me in! My love of crafts started as far back as I can remember—at 10 years old, I was already getting my entrepreneurial game on, selling my own handmade jewelry at craft shows. I even had matching business cards. How cute. Not much has changed, except now I get to drink on the job, or as I call it product research!
Festive Flirts started right before the holidays in 2016. The rest is history, well… almost. That first year was quite a learning experience, given I was new to the e-commerce world. My “workshop” was actually the top of my washer and dryer in my laundry room. My friends would take shifts helping me package ornaments, cut labels, and, of course, keep the bubbly flowing. As things started to pick up and I was adding new designs daily, I decided it was time to move to a bigger space and Festive Flirts now occupies my entire top floor. Yay! I can throw glitter in the air like I just don’t care (okay, not really, I’m too OCD for that).
As my business continues to expand, I’ve added a new line of wine-themed products and accessories and will keep adding new products and designs for all occasions, all year round. What started out as a side hustle has finally brought me one step closer to fulfilling my dream of being a small-business owner doing what I love to do, with the people I love. I’m so excited to continue creating and spreading smiles. Cheers to all of life’s happy moments worth celebrating!
