Summer Shop Feature ~ Jade Rose Boutique

“Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.”
Wayne Dyer

This weeks shop feature is Jade Rose Boutique, a wonderful Etsy shop specializing in handmade designs in fabric, fiber and paper. Betti Magison is the owner of this lovely shop.

Betti has been creative all her life, sewing, quilting, crocheting and paper folding since she was a child. While in high school she crocheted flower and lace earrings, she thinks they would be perfect for my vintage theme and I think you’re right Betti, maybe for my jewelry history series? Many of the items in her shop are items she originally made for her daughter.


I am most impressed by Betti’s dedication to her family. She told me, her daughter is “the joy of my life” and is “grateful for my sweet husband who supports my habit.” Betti has a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy and donates a portion of her sales to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Now that Betti’s daughter is grown and she is retired she has “time to play.” And she is busy! She does a bit of everything depending on what she has on hand. She is currently working on a doily from a 1960’s vintage doily book she found. My vintage collector friends would LOVE these!


Thank you Betti for the opportunity to introduce you to my readers. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you!
