Brooke Hathaway, Watford City’s newest entrepreneur, sold out her entire stock of handmade stuffed goods within hours of listing them through her mother’s Facebook last week. She had posted a description and pictures of the projects she completed and was trying to sell.
In her initial post, she said, “Hi my name is Brooke, I am 11 years old, and I am trying to start a business called Brooke’s Stuffy Stand. I am learning so I can be ready for the Farmer’s Market next year, so I am selling some of my stuffed dogs and pillows at a discounted price while I practice and learn. I plan to branch out to other stuffies, but right now I have three dogs and two pillows.”
“I was kinda surprised,” the crafty 11 year-old said. “I have been thinking about doing this for a long time, and I decided it was time that I just do it. I know I’m not the best sew-er, but I hope I can keep practicing so I can get really good.”
