Today I would like to take the time to spotlight a Today I would like to take the time to spotlight a very talented young man. 

I am always very excited to meet fellow entrepreneurs especially when they discover that passion at a young age. 

As many of you know, I had made the switch to raw dairy to help with my overall health and well-being. Through this process, I had met a lovely family that I would purchase milk from bi-weekly. On the last order with them, their son, Ethyn, had approached me with these beautiful handcrafted coasters. 

I had the pleasure of speaking with he and his sister about their new-found love for entreprenurship  and their new businesses. These kids are not only very talented but impressed me with their professionalism and drive. You don't often see that at such a young age. 

I was so touched by this special gift and the quality is amazing! He has great attention to detail in not only the product but the packaging as well. If you are looking for a last minute gift for Dad this Father's Day, birthday, or just because, I highly recommend Ethyn's Custom Creation on Etsy!
