~The Story Behind Courtney's Closet~

As of  Wednesday September 15, 2009 I made up my mind to start selling kids clothing. Mainly little girls clothing. About 2 years ago I thought about selling ladies clothing and even got a business license to do so, but after further research and talking with friends who had done so I realized it just was not for me and I decide to sell handbags . Well the handbags have done really well but it just wasn't and isn't steady enough for me. I now have a friend who has taken over that for me. At the time I started to see the bags weren't as steady as I would like I began to pray for God to give me a really good business idea that would do really well . After praying that a few times but never seeming to get and answer I kinda forgot about it and just stayed busy with homeschooling and church. Weelll then comes the Fall/Winter Season and its time to get my almost 4 year old a new wardrobe and all my normal shopping places really let me down . So I started searching for close online and found ONE really cute dress on ebay . Well after much much research I found other nice dresses online but they were more than I could afford cause I didn't just need 1 I needed like 10. Well I went to this one site and just FELL IN LOVE with a dress and was ready to buy only to call the next day to verify it was in stock before placing the order and found out it had JUST SOLD ...I WAS SICK. Well if you know me you know when my mind is set on something there is no stopping me =~). Well after finding it other places at prices more than I was willing to pay , I decided to find the manufacturer and see if I could get it direct..(told you ..Mind made UP..lol) . Well I found them and after further thought wondered how many moms have gone through the same thing as me and how I could help them if I could just open a store and offer a large variety of BEAUTIFUL & ELEGANT kids clothing but at a AFFORDABLE price,  how much it would not only help me but also them. Then began the task of deciding a name cause I couldn't use the old business name I had thought of, which was Rachael's Dresses, (*BORING*) . After talking with a friend she told me ...."You need to choose the name of your business based on what inspired you to start it" . Well I immedetely thought well I was trying to get clothes for my daughter (Courtney) to fill her (Closet) thus the name "Courtney's Closet" .
