Waiting on Martha’s founder and curator, Mandy Kellogg Rye, lives by one mantra, “Life should be lived beautifully every single day.” Drawn to the “finer things” at an early age, her mother taught her how to appreciate beauty while her father how to create beauty.
A Michigan native, Mandy left the mitten behind and headed to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois where she graduated with dreams of becoming a high-powered attorney. However, her dream quickly fell short when she realized law school wasn’t all about wearing a designer suit and winning arguments with loads of whit and banter. Law school wasn’t a complete bust though; it introduced her to Chicago, her first big city and one she still holds dear to her heart. A city that unknowingly became the backdrop, and beginning of Waiting On Martha.
A bracelet actually started it all. Well a bracelet, an obsession with food, an incessant need to throw a party whenever an opportunity presented itself, and an adoration for all things DIY. But back to the bracelet. One fateful day Mandy ventured into a Chicago bead store while a class was in session. Thinking that jewelry making would be a fun hobby, she began taking classes. To be clear, Mandy had no plans of it becoming anything more than a hobby. You know what they say about best laid plans…in 2011 Mandy opened an Etsy shop and officially launched her Waiting On Martha bracelet collection in April. The response was, and still is, quite overwhelming. Individuals not only loved the bracelets, but they wanted to know more about Mandy and her life. Enter Waiting On Martha The Blog.
As the ultimate creative and personal outlet for Mandy, Waiting On Martha The Blog focused simply on creating a beautiful everyday through fashion, food, décor, and DIY. As the reader’s grew so did the oh-so common question “where do I get that?” And thus, as Mandy puts it, “It only took one reader’s question to push me to indulge my dream of opening a boutique.” Waiting On Martha Home opened as an e-commerce boutique in July of 2012 and opened a brick and mortar location in Atlanta in 2015 (where Mandy now resides with her husband and Cavalier King Charles Addison). In 2019, Waiting On Martha Home welcomed a sister shoppe, Waiting On Martha Everyday, with an emphasis on apparel, accessories and beauty for how you live everyday.

Jamie Darling is a sixth-generation resident of Jackson County, Arkansas, her family being one of the pioneer families of the area. Growing up in her family’s Drug store, she had dreams of going far away after school. After attending law school for over a year, Jamie decided that was not her path and returned home to Newport, Arkansas to regroup temporarily and started working on projects for family and their business interests. While in college, she and her mom really established their family’s drug store as destination shopping with some of the best sterling silver jewelry and unique gift and home decor items found anywhere. Since the internet was not prevalent, they were able to make a name for themselves and began building the brand early on. Over the years, they added to the pharmacy as they were a good team in making their inventory work. Eventually they outgrew the pharmacy and expanded. In 2005, a vacant house next door was razed and Darling’s Fine Things was born, adding accent furniture pieces and apparel. As her mother’s health began to deteriorate, Jamie took on the new venture full time.
Social media and the internet began to change the game of retail, and sales skyrocketed with Facebook. Jamie continues to do all social media and business plans for the pharmacy in addition to running Darling’s Fine Things.

2-hour workshop on Wednesday, February 5 from 8:30-10:30 am. Only 100 tickets available; must purchase Summit ticket to attend.
How do your values align with your strategy and everyday decisions in your business? Over the years in the coaching/consulting business, Julie Weldon and Stacey Pierce of A Salty Rim have been asked this question many times. And many times, once they pulled back the covers, they discovered that people really do not understand the purpose of why creating values is so important to the health of an organization. In this workshop, Julie and Stacey are going to get very practical and tactical, with little “fluff.” So, get ready to put on your seatbelt, sharpen your pencil, and dive into both why you’re doing what you’re doing, and create an action plan for the exact next steps you need to take to drive your business to the next level. If you’re at a point where you’re stuck, have challenges you don’t know how to overcome, want to grow to the next level, or feel like you have cracks in the foundation of your business, this workshop might just be exactly what you need. This workshop is good for any industry and any business stage – just starting out or millions in revenue.
Ever feel like you leave a conference overwhelmed & unsure where to start? Learn how to never feel like that again. To close out the workshop, Sallie Holder will teach you exactly how to put your business’s values into action at the Summit to walk away with exactly what you need.
