In 1985 with hopes, dreams and good intentions in our hearts and pockets, my friend Juliet Hubbs and I started a small retail store in our hometown of Morgan Hill, California. Looking back on it now we laugh about our early beginnings. We had no money, no experience, and from a business perspective, we had everything against us. Even our building was in shambles when we first moved in.

What we did have was a vision, combined with enthusiasm and a lot of determination. Our store flyers included the quote "Faith is believing in something even when common sense tells you not to." This was perfect for us because had we listened to our common sense, we would have never experienced the incredible journey that eventually unfolded. Against all odds, our store prospered. We learned a lot of things the hard way at times, but somehow things kept moving forward for us. In 1991, life again gave us a surprising change with the start of our wholesale company called AngelStar. With time, AngelStar became so busy that we did not have time to run both the retail and wholesale end of things and still keep our sanity. It was crazy to say the least. We sold the store and put our full energies into nurturing and developing AngelStar. We had learned a great deal from our retail store experiences. It helped us to understand and relate to what every retail store owner and employee experiences. (The good and the bad.) This beginning still serves us to this day.

Our customers, families & friends, employees and the Angels have all helped us along the way… Store owners believed in the line enough to try it in their shops and also told other stores about AngelStar’s products. Some have shared ideas or made suggestions that have inspired new products. Other gifts were inspired by requests from people sharing what they were looking for, but could not find. Our worry stones were inspired by an aunt who was very stressed and needed something positive to focus on rather than her illness & worries.
