In today's Southern Spotlight, I introduce to you Darci McClung.
I first met Darci through her Facebook business, Embellished Boutique. She's a strong, southern woman with a mind for business. Somehow, she manages to keep everything between her business and family life, balanced.
Take a look at our interview below...
Describe yourself in five words...
Mother, wife, business-owner, Christian,
outgoing
You run a successful, small business, Tell me
about how you got started and the keys to success.
I have always worked. Well when I got married
we decided to have a baby. I got sick and couldn't work. I became a stay at
home mother to my 3 children for 6 years! My husband works in the mining
industry and of course it is up and down. I decided I needed to work but didn't
want my kids going to a babysitter. So I got the idea of opening a clothing
boutique! It only took me 3 weeks to get everything in order and open for
business!! I prayed and always put God first and I believe He have kept us
going thus far!! My store is Embellished Boutique and I accept orders via the
shops Facebook page.
Here are a few new items available from Embellished Boutique. She also carries gorgeous clothes for kids!
You are a southern girl! Tell me and my readers
how you define a southern belle.
I think a southern belle is a woman who is
classy and tasteful! I keep that in mind when I'm stocking my store! I do not
carry clothing that may leave a wrong impression…
Tell me about your faith and your church
life...
I am a Christian and I attend Cornerstone
Family Fellowship. I like to volunteer with the church and I sing in the praise
and worship team.
What is your favorite color? Why?
My favorite color is purple. I don't know why but
I'm drawn to it and have been since a child.
What is your favorite season? Why?
My favorite season is autumn. I love when the
weather is around 70 degrees and all the beautiful fall colors in our
mountains!
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
My favorite holiday is Christmas! This is a
time we celebrate the birth of Jesus and our families come together. I love to
decorate for Christmas because it makes our home feel so welcoming and warm.
How do you balance it all?
How do you balance it all?
I have lots of help! My husband and my mother
are a huge help with everything! My mom helps me at the store every day. I
bring my kids to work with me so it gets crazy at times! My husband is my
biggest supporter and believes in me and everything I set out to do in life! He
is my rock. To be honest, my house is neglected most days and we eat out a lot
due to long hours at the store! It's a crazy life but it’s fun and we love it!
We have made it work for us.
What advice do you have for my readers who may
be interested in opening a small business?
My advice to anyone that is wanting to open a
small business is just JUMP IN and do it! You never know until you try! Give it
time to grow before expecting to make a profit and remember that you have to be
willing to spend money to make money. Always put God first in your life and He
will guide you and help you make the right decisions for your business and
family life.
With love and warmth,
Wendy
