The beginning is an important concept in any journey, and it is certainly the foundation of Tarpaperhaven. In the heart of rural Ohio, I experienced a life that many overlook, yet it held the beauty that led to my venture. Friends urged me, saying, “Shelly, you need to get your stuff made and sell it.” Initially, I dismissed their encouragement while spending time with my chickens. But as life unfolded, I realized it was time to embrace the calling and share my passions.
Living in the foothills of Appalachia, my daily routine is enriched by the presence of giant dogs, playful cats, and the idyllic sounds of country life. I awaken to a world filled with nature’s beauty—dogs lounging lazily in the sun, chickens inquisitively pecking around, and a supportive husband who adds to the joy of everyday life. This rustic lifestyle, encapsulated in simple moments, inspired Tarpaperhaven's creation.
I find joy in capturing these moments through photography, whether it be the gentle light that filters through the trees or the charm of farm animals going about their day. This appreciation for the mundane ignites my creativity and influences every product I offer. My philosophy is straightforward: if something brings me joy, there are others out there who will resonate with it too. Thus, Tarpaperhaven came to be as a canvas for expressing this joy.
Through careful thought and a desire to share, I have woven my love for country living, faith, and family into Tarpaperhaven. Each product represents a piece of my life and the beauty of simple pleasures that might go unnoticed. I am excited to introduce new products and designs that reflect this ethos in freshly made creations.
As this journey begins, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Thank you for taking the time to visit Tarpaperhaven, for supporting my dreams, and for allowing me to share a glimpse of my life with you. Your encouragement means everything to me as I embark on this adventure and continue to explore what the future holds.
In conclusion, the beginning of Tarpaperhaven is not just a story of entrepreneurship; it is a realization of dreams and the beauty found in everyday experiences. I invite you to join me on this journey, appreciating the simple pleasures that fill our lives.
