What's in a name?

I get asked frequently about how I came up with my business name. So I thought that I would post a blog about it...

My maiden name is Ivy (well, it was spelled Ivie, but making Ivy was easier) and my married last name is James. I loved Ivy and really didn't want to let it go when I got married but 

didn't want to hyphenate my name (I'm a pretty modern girl but when it comes to marriage I am quite traditional!) When it came time to choosing a business name I thought that it would be the perfect way to incorporate my past with my present/ future!

And since no blog is complete without a picture, I am posting a picture of our "kid" Betty. You will come to know her quite well as she is a major part of our lives.
