From Hobby Laser to Full-Time Dream: A Business Blooms
29 Nov
Summary
- Owners left full-time jobs to pursue their craft.
- Unique pet-themed items are a popular niche.
- Business plans include a storefront within a year.

What began as a husband's thoughtful gift of a hobby laser has evolved into June's Room Creations, a thriving business now operated full-time by Abby and Tony Hollenback. The couple left their previous employment to dedicate themselves to crafting unique, often pet-themed, items.
Their dedication has paid off, with products like "bark-cuterie" boards and custom bandanas gaining popularity. This success has fueled ambitious future plans, including the opening of a dedicated storefront within the next year and potentially establishing a nonprofit for pets.
The business is currently participating in the Christkindlmarket on Broadway, showcasing hand-painted pet ornaments. On Broadway's marketing vice president, Mary Rhode, highlighted the market's atmosphere, drawing visitors from across the region to support diverse small businesses.
