 Company:

“I sell vintage and artisan crafted jewelry from around the world.”

Q:  Where do you find your jewelry?

A: “I shop estate sales, vintage and antique shops and look for cool jewelry when I travel. I also look for local artists to showcase their work.”

Q: Have you always wanted to own your own company?

A: “I have, for as long as I remember, wanted to own my company or business. When I was in high school, it was idea after idea. After traveling and developing a personal love for jewelry, I knew this was what I should do.”

Q: What is your favorite thing about owning your own business?

A: “The freedom. I need to be around people, work on my own schedule and be independent of the corporate structure. It’s just not for everyone. And neither is owning your own business!”

Q: What do you do when you’re not working?

A: “I love to travel, so I spend my time saving up money, planning my next trip. But to keep enough jewelry to keep people interested, I end up shopping for new stuff.”

Q: What are your long-term plans for Boho?

A: “I want to test and get the kinks out of my business for the next two to three years here in Dallas; then I would like to open a small boutique show in Buenos Aires within two years of moving there. Fingers crossed!”

You can check out Tara’s jewelry at the Hughes Trigg Crossing Wednesday, Sept. 1.
