One of the best parts of being a store owner is the great people I get to work with every day. Smaller stores tend to attract employees who have a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit, and when I interview potential hires, I always ask why they want to work for a small business. If their answer is because they want to start their own business or open a shop some day, I know they’re the right fit.

That’s the kind of talent I like to surround myself with – those who want to learn, grow and hang up their own shingle in the future. When someone leaves our team and does exactly that, I will do whatever I can to support them. 

Meet Kaylie (featured in Street Style in March). She worked at The Shoe Hive on the weekends for many years while holding down another full-time job. She moved away last year and decided to pursue her passion, starting her own jewelry line, Kaylie Dawn Jewelry. We started carrying the bracelets and they have been flying off the shelves! We figured, what better way to kick off our Fall Trunk Show Series than with Kaylie?

We know everyone has missed seeing her and she keeps expanding her line. We are especially excited about her new gold-filled pieces; they won’t tarnish and will stack perfectly with your fine jewelry pieces.

Kaylie will be here all day Saturday, September 23rd from 10 am to 6 pm. Stop by and browse her latest collections and receive 20 percent off! And if there is something you browsed online that she didn’t bring, she can always order it for you.

What a great way to kick off fall!
