How it all began?
Karen was an ordinary housewife, was sitting with young children. But in 2001 there was a need for additional sources of income and Karen decided to sell its products through an online resource RubyLane, and in 2003 appeared Shop Dressed For Tea.
After two and a half years, Karen felt quite confident to create their own Web site, did it in 2006 and renamed the store in Sweet Necessi-Teas, the name that gives a complete picture of the range of products in her store.
The next step was to join the Make Mine Pink - resource uniting online shopping by women - entrepreneurs, which ensured the growth of traffic on its site, and the influx of shoppers.
Karen is still a mom and wife, she has to cook, clean, transport children to school, etc. But she finds time to practice his favorite thing, that is her business every day, mainly in the morning time until all family members are still asleep.
