Today we welcome Kellie from the Waldorf on Etsy shop, The Indigo Forest to our blog!
I have always been crafty. I was brought up around incredibly gifted
parents, so I suppose you could say it's in my blood. It was actually at
the urging of my mother that I should start a shop. I thought it was a
great idea, but didn't have a real starting point. I didn't have a clue
what I would sell. I started brainstorming.
I figured it was good to go
with what my passions were. I am very much into the natural world. I
love working with natural materials. I started thinking that wool might
be a good place to start. I started experimenting with wool and
discovered that I loved it!
Soon, woodwork and my mother's leather work
followed and the shop really starting taking shape. I also work in the
subjects that I am passionate about, such as breastfeeding! I am a big
supporter of breastfeeding, birth, and attachment parenting.
I also have
an interest in Waldorf education and am inspired by the many beautiful
Waldorf toys/items out there, which has led me to create some of my own
Waldorf inspired items.
The Indigo Forest has been a labor of love for
over two years now and I hope to keep it up for many more years to come.
It has been a dream come true for me to be able to stay at home with my
little ones and create.

The constant support from so many different
people, including my own family, is what keeps me going and I am so
grateful.
