I started playing around with jewelry and charms in 2010 when I first created my glow-in-the-dark wish bottle necklaces on my page, Heather Conley Art. I love to do custom orders, so when a customer asked if I had a certain style charm and I did not, I would either go out and buy charms or order them online. My addiction to charms really heightened when my husband and I moved to South Kor
ea. We took a trip to Dongdaemun Market in Seoul, Korea and I stumbled on a spot with hundreds or even thousands of charms that you can pick out by hand! I really loved being able to choose each piece and I began buying way more than I needed. I wanted to offer my customers this option so they can experience the excitement of virtually 'hand picking' their own charms out, no matter where they lived in the world. In October 2016, Creative Kinyobi, a home office-based business was born on Etsy. I want to get my customers exactly what charms they want in as little time as possible. My husband and I hand inspect, clean, and DISINFECT all charms before COVID19 was even a thing. We are fortunate to live near a USPS distribution center where we can drop off packages up until 7pm. Creative Kinyobi became a branch off of my original Etsy shop, Heather Conley Art. As of 2021, I am still on a hiatus from creating art, unfortunately. The plus side is that I have plenty of time for Creative Kinyobi. Thanks so much for reading about us.
