The First Blog

This is the first blog in the beginning of a business venture called Lost Jewels. Our idea began a few months ago and we have been working towards starting our business up as soon as possible.

I, Maggie Faris, have joined, in partnership, with Shauna Lane to form Lost Jewels. We are both waitresses at a comedy club and both stand-up comics. I have been working in glass arts, as well, for about five years. We decided we wanted a different source of income than waitressing as waitressing sucks ass. I love making jewelry and glass and Shauna loves to sell so we thought it to be a perfect partnership.

Since we have come together our business ideas have evolved into Lost Jewels, a collection of glass jewelry. Our uniquiness comes from the fact that we vow to give away 5% of our inventory in a fun way. In order to get our business off the ground we plan on hiding one-of-a-kind pendants, along with a card detailing the lost jewels story through-out New York City.

At this point I am working on the website (lostjewels.com) and Shauna is working on our Business Plan. We would like to try to bootstrap our money and not have any outside investors.

We are very excited about our new adventure and are just looking for a way to document our steps of growth which is why we chose to blog about it.

Thanks for reading,
Maggie Faris
CEO Lost Jewels
