Wearing a “Typical” Outfit is NOT a Crime! (by Angela Ricardo)
TLC Creations by Mindie Hilton
Sometime last month I have shared that I will be featuring crafty divas all over the www that is note worthy for their creative crafts and fashionable sense of style. I’m sure many of you love to stay up to the latest trend, and admit it or not most of you hate spending all that hard earned cash just like that… or even if you want to, designer names don’t normally fit the regular budget. Which is why scouring for a store that can offer a beautiful, unique design and still budget-friendly is always on our “to-do” list.
That ends now. :) Meet Mindie of TLC Creations who offers a wide range of crafty and fabulous finds. From earrings, rings, necklaces, to scarves and even hair accessories!

Read my interview with Mindie…
1. Tell us more about yourself and TLC Creations…
I use to work full time outside of the home, and had very little time for crafting. When I decided to stay at home and be a full time mommy blogger, I found myself crafting often.
2. What made you decide to open a store on etsy?
My shop TLC Creations came about as a way for me to share my hobbies. I can’t possibly keep everything I make for myself, as tempting as it may be sometimes. That is why I opened TLC Creations, to offer others affordable handmade jewelry. I make my living blogging, I didn’t open the shop to make a lot of money, it really was my last concern. I was really hopping to break even if anything with my shop. Now that my shop has been open for a year, the response has been great, and I feel honored to make jewelry that others may wear proudly. I have been so touched to know that many of my items have been warn on special occasions such as weddings. I read all of the nice comments customers leave after purchasing from my shop, and it puts a smile on my face.
3. How does hand-made crafts change your life?
For me crafting is my quiet time. I am not worried or stressed when I am crafting. It’s almost a form of meditation for me the designing process.
4. Where do you see yourself and your store 5 years from now?
Five years from now it would be awesome to see my little shop in Redbook or Cosmo, but I will be just as happy if I still have 100% satisfied customers. My customers mean so much to me.
5. How can you make a difference in the fashion world?
I believe anyone can make a difference in the fashion world. I remember being a little girl and I saw one of my friends wear her socks over her jeans (not a trend I am proud of) but at the time I thought it was cool. My own personal style is very eclectic and I think that comes across in my shop. I really do have something for every women. One day I might be in the mood to only wear one simple strand of pearls. The next day I might feel like being bold and wearing a bib style necklace or large cocktail ring. I think we should all feel freedom in our fashion choices, and have the ability to mix up our day to day looks as we please. I am trying to make a difference in the fashion world by providing affordable jewelry that is unique and often one of a kind. I think when you wear an item that is one of a kind or a limited edition you automatically feel special. At most shops that “one of a kind look” comes with a huge price tag. My shop will always offer “TLC Creations” that just about anyone can afford.
Not only does Mindie offer a wonderful crafty items, she also owns a beautiful blog where she shares her personal opinion, offers give-aways, easy to follow recipe and so much more. She also have shared her amazing weight loss story that I really find to be inspiring and worth sharing to everyone.
