AE's was opened in November of 2014. Handmade keychains out of the bedroom of my parents house. It started as a little Etsy shop with one terribly photographed glittered shotgun shell keychain. It QUICKLY grew & before I knew it in April 2016 I left my full-time job in the baking world to pursue my dreams of being my own boss. In July of 2019 we officially grew out of the 120 square foot spare bedroom of our house and were fortunate enough to move in to a warehouse on our new property 2021 Josh & I decided to take the plunge, sell a bunch of our stuff & move half way across the USA.  Where we ended up planting roots in the small town of Gilmer, Texas. We are absolutely in love with Texas and know this is exactly where we are supposed to be. Since then we have expanded now Josh runs our shirt printing production with his business, Gunpowder & Ink.
