Today, I bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, Satch & Sol! In their words:
"Satch & Sol offers of felted wool slippers, hairbands and more, handmade in Mongolia by a fair trade artist cooperative using traditional felting skills."
"You can find Satch & Sol on Facebook!"
SouleMama: How long have you been in business?
Susan: mom-owned and operated since August 2008
SouleMama: What inspired you to start your business?
Susan: I was inspired to launch Satch & Sol after my inlaws gave our first child a pair of felted wool slippers they brought back from travel in Mongolia. I fell in love with the beauty of the handmade work, the luscious, soft, thick, felted wool and beautiful detail. I began working on designs with the group almost immediately and introduced the Satch & Sol line after 4 years of development.
SouleMama: How do you come up with new designs and ideas?
Susan: I listen to customers and seek advice from frequent buyers. I go to local sales with product samples and listen to what the children and grown-ups say about the slippers, handbags and hairbands.
SouleMama: What's your favorite part of your job? The most challenging?
Susan: They are one and the same! My favorite part of my job is often my most challenging. I love running Satch & Sol primarily from a home office. That makes three small boys both my favorite and most challenging part of my job. Sometimes, I want to play when I need to work. And, sometimes work and play go hand and hand.
SouleMama: How are your children incorporated into your business?
Susan: We have three boys. Our two oldest sons are Solomon and Satchel. I use their nicknames - Satch and Sol (pronounced like the word Soul, sun in Spanish) as the business name. Our youngest son, Sage, is 8 months old now. He is my constant companion when I work in my home office.
