About Me

Hi my name is Anne Burton and I'm the owner of Beantown Handmade pet apparel and accessories. I opened up shop on Etsy in November 2008 and have now expanded my business to include an independent website, crafts shows, and wholesale. With three years of crafting for a living under my belt, I've learned a lot by trial and error! I look forward to sharing some tips and hearing about your experiences as artists and business people. Originally from Virginia, I now live in Nebraska with my husband Michael and our two amazing Boston Terriers Lily and Bean. I teach drawing, 2d design and printmaking at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Nebraska and Michael teaches in the Department of Clothing, Textiles and Design at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We are big advocates of animal rescue and adoption, and love to get involved with rescue fundraisers whenever and wherever we can.
