Hello! My name is Stephanie Columbo, the owner and creator behind Once Upon a String!

Once Upon a String was born from my passion for creating things and making people smile. I want everyone to feel confident and express themselves through their own personal style, so combining my knack for creativity and bringing people joy was a no-brainer. Each unique piece is made for you, to bring a little happiness and style to you everyday; and I hope they bring you as much joy using them as I get making them.

None of this would have been possible without the loving support of my husband, my daughter, and my family. They inspire and push me to be better every day, and I am incredibly grateful to have them be a part of this journey with me.

Thank you for your love and support!
