When Jessica Bredbenner , owner and founder of Tiddlywinks Boutique , first began selling her handmade items on Etsy , she didn ’ t realize that she was embarking on a journey just as unique as her store itself . The mobile and online boutique recently opened a brick-andmortar storefront in Dunmore , allowing Tiddlywinks to serve even more customers than before . Meet Jessica Bredbenner …
“ I KNOW THAT I WILL CONTINUE USING ALL THE CHAMBER HAS TO OFFER AND THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HELP US GROW .”
What sets your shop apart from other children ’ s boutiques ? Besides having our new storefront in Dunmore , Tiddlywinks Boutique has the ability to travel to different locations with our mobile boutique . We also have the ability to customize certain items and services we can provide for events and birthday parties . Along with special occasion dresses , parents can also find everyday items for their little girl that you may not typically find in other boutiques . A lot of our accessories are handmade and we also carry some items that are handmade from local crafters , other than our own Tiddlywinks brand .
Can you tell us what inspired you to create your business ? Before I started the boutique , I was mainly selling my handmade items on Etsy . I started Tiddlywinks when I was on maternity leave from another job and , after careful thought ,
I decided to follow my dreams and take on the boutique full-time . While growing , my online presence continued and sales began to increase . During a business trip to the West Coast for my previous career , I saw a women ’ s mobile boutique parked outside and thought it was different . That boutique inspired me — so much so , that I found my 1976 Dutchcraft camper for a steal on Cragslist and that is when my dreams became a reality .
What kind of items do you sell ? We sell clothing and accessories for little girls ranging from three months to eight years old . We sell a variety of styles , from vintage to whimsical to sparkly . We are always adding new items as seasons change .
What types of events do you offer ? We offer private parties such as birthdays , holiday parties or even just weekend shopping parties . We travel to homes or locations from our region as far as Philadelphia and parts of New Jersey . Customers have the chance to reserve the boutique for birthday parties or any type of event and we come on location . We will offer a discount to shop for everyone and also a complimentary dress for the birthday girl / hostess . We also offer a fun day of private shopping where we come to your location or we can host your party in our store . Some of our packages include a princess dress up , garden fairy , mermaids , baking , and tea parties . We can customize your party to any type of theme , too .
What is your Sparkle Club ? Our Sparkle Club is a monthly subscription of little girls ’ stylish clothing delivered right to your door . The items in the box are carefully selected and range from dresses to swimsuits to outfits and more . There is no commitment and can be canceled at any time with no fees .
As a new business , how do you envision the Chamber helping you grow ? Even though Tiddlywinks has only been in business for about a year , the Chamber has already helped us grow in different ways . They promoted us on social media during Small Business Saturday , and have connected us with wonderful resources . I know that I will continue using all that the Chamber has to offer and that they will continue to help us grow .
