We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Stocker and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tiffany, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Being a wreath designer makes me happy which creates a therapeutic calming space for me to enjoy what I do. My creative imaginative mind is a vibe of its own. I find peace in my heart which is my happy place when designing wreaths for my customers.
What should our readers know about your business?
Hi friends my name is Tiffany Stocker shop owner of Intentional Wreaths. It means so much to me you have taken the time to come see about Intentional Wreaths. I make door decor handmade wreaths and bows. Intentional Wreaths is known for inspirational, family oriented and motivational monogram quotes because all wreaths have a unique style to bring out its own personality. Intentional Wreaths are made on purpose with love, creativity, and a pop of color. I self- taught myself how to make various types wreaths by watching YouTube tutorials.
Intentional Wreaths was created in 2016. The idea came from attending a homeowners workshop in my local town. The host of the workshop had a special treat for us at the end of the workshop. We made our own door wreaths to hang on our potential doors as new homeowners. From that very moment after seeing the results of my first wreath I had the passion to create more wreaths to gift to family and friends and share on social media. So many people across my social media platforms began “liking” and “sharing” my wreaths with their family and friends. Before you knew it I was attending different events to promote my business, selling on social media sites and making an extra income. Business slowed down in 2017 when my daughter and I became homeless for 6 months. This was devastating so I had to stop making wreaths for a while until I got another job. When I was able to get back on my feet again I re-launched my business in 2018 and I picked up where I left off. The volunteers provided me with financial expertise to keep my business flowing properly. God is faithful. My creative mind digs deep into exploring different colors, themes and fabric to create durable wreaths to last for years. Intentional Wreaths will add that perfect touch on any door in your home or workplace. Intentional Wreaths are perhaps the easiest way to add instant charm and attraction to welcome every guest. Making wreaths for others is therapeutic, enjoyable and relaxing. I use to have a passion for writing now I have converted to craft making beautiful wreaths for my customers. I love the finish product after spending countless time and effort creating something meaningful to grasp the attention of guest knocking on my customer’s doors.
What I love the most about making handmade wreaths is listening to my customers tell me what colors they want their wreath to be. From this point I go off into my own imaginable creativity mode. They entrust and allow me to create something behind the scenes for them. This gets me so excited to brainstorm something magical that stands out and strikes attention. I love shopping in craft stores and online finding the right colors, fabric, monograms, embellishments, artificial greenery and ribbons for a perfect wreath.
I love to see beauty in communities and neighborhoods. I believe every door to every home or business needs something colorful to attract guest when they knock on your door.
My most popular best seller wreaths are the Black Girl Magic Wreath, Sunflower Wreath and Grapevine Floral Wreaths
In my spare time I enjoy traveling, spending time with my daughter and friends, networking, attending empowerment events, fine dining, creating content and of course crafting. I am also a Certified Addiction Counselor working with male adolescents.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We will soak up the sun in downtown Columbia where all the great boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment is located. Soda City is my favorite therapy retail spot to hang out at on Saturday’s. Columbia is filled with limitless areas to visit such as Lake Murray, Sandhills and Harbison area. We will end the weekend by attending worship service at my church Right Direction Church International-Columbia campus.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to recognize Family Promise of the Midlands in Columbia, SC. When I became homeless in 2017 this organization supported my daughter and I for 6 months until I found stable employment and housing. The volunteers provided saving tips, budgeting classes and financial expertise to help me reach my goals in my career and thriving small business. For that I am grateful to have such compassionate lifelong friends at Family Promise of Midlands that made sacrifices to ensure a quality of life for my daughter and I.
