Business named, license on it's way...

It's official, Aly Dahl Designs is the name that I am running the business as. I have decided this gives me the most options for expanding my line.

At the moment Your Prints Charming (www.silverfingerprints.ca) is the line I am focusing my efforts on getting up and running.

"Your Prints Charming by Aly Dahl Designs" will be the impression jewellery line.

My next line will be "All Dahled Up" it will include my fancy pants designs.

I am working on getting www.alydahl.com and www.alydahl.ca up and running although eventually they will all be linked together.

Think Ralph Lauren or Tommy Hilfiger, Coco Channel. I may not be a well known designer (yet). But I imagine there was a time that they were not know either. I would even bet there was a time they also felt like a little fish.

I am getting really excited with each day, it is so much work getting a new business up and running but I have to say I have never been happier.

Until next time..
Aly Dahl of Aly Dahl Designs

Getting Started

I am a jewellery (that's jewelry for my southern friends) lover, wearer, and designer. I have loved jewellery since I was a young girl, always getting into my moms collection making a muck of things.

After graduating high school in 1995 I fell into the family business of financial planning, working admin, managing offices, working for mutual fund companies. The one thing I learned.. The Financial world sucks all the creativity out of you.

After having my 2 children, Maaren and Leif, 18 months apart I really had no desire to go back to work in the business district. Luckily for me the crash of the economy and wall street helped me get a package to walk away from it all.

So here I am almost a year later starting my dream job...

I have always wanted to be in business for myself, and I love being creative, and I love making jewellery. My metal of choice is silver and I love taking impressions of nature, or people, cool buttons, sea shells and turning them into wearable art.

I am having troubles naming my business and so at this point am working with a descriptive website name: www.silverfingerprints.ca

If you have any ideas of great business names for a fingerprint, charm, impression, business.... I would be all over it! This is the hardest part of starting my business and it seems like a pretty important one to have.

Thanks for reading!
