Sometimes, when you’re starting a new venture you need a little helping hand. You know, someone who will post about your work and tell the whole world how great your new store, or project, or piece of art really is! Someone to tell the masses about the worthiness of your venture. Self promotion can be difficult for anyone starting out but especially tricky if you’re 10 and your mom won’t let you go door-to-door selling your wares!
Of course, it helps if your mom has a blog and an online store of her own—surely she’d help a 10 year old out, right? Yes, indeed, nepotism reigns supreme in these parts. What kind of mother would I be if it didnt?
So, without further ado: I present Boy Wonder Bazaar. This is the only pair in his wee store at the moment, but there will be more in the future. This is art, I’ve been told; clearly you don’t want to rush it!
I can vouch for these little lovelies—as I was a recipient of not just one pair, but two for Mother’s day. Each unique and completely handcrafted by the boy. I’m not sure what impresses me more: that he does this stuff on his own, or his attention to detail. Either way, you can imagine I was blown over. Now you can be too!
Who said nepotism was a bad thing?
Congrats to the newest “it” designer!
What a talent.

He’s working on it, this kid. It was promote his earrings or let him go door-to-door to sell them to all the moms on the block. He might have had better luck that way, but I still have to live here. 😀 ~W
HELLO! I can’t believe how talented BW is!!! He must have his mom’s crafty genes. And the Curly-Qs on the red ones are AWESOME!

I’m a little blown away with his ability to put stuff together. Wonders never cease around these parts! ~W
One of the sweetest things I’ve seen in a while. What an adorable kid you’ve got! And I’m the biggest fan of nepotism there is! Work it, I say.

Thank you! Heh… I’m wishing I had sisters and a mom who would promote MY work. Hee. ~W
I love that she calls him Boy Wonder! I had already seen the post over there and just think that it is so neat that he is encouraged in his creativity so much! I don’t wear earrings but I am so happy to know about it in case I need to buy gifts. What a wonderful thing! 🙂

Oh, thank you! He’s been Boy Wonder for some times as his dad is no fan of having his real name all over my blog. 😀 ~W
They are gorgeous. Ashley made many wonderful earrings–but for herself. I can only wear posts or I get a horrible headache. Nothing dangly for me. Good job, BW!

Yeah, I have issues with dangly if they are too heavy as one of my ears is very close to tearing through! Fortunately, he knows this and made them very light. I don’t even notice them in my ears. ~W
My goodness…what an amazing job he’s done!
