Student owned business, Daisy Designs, is now selling trendy jewelry in the One Stop Trev Shop.
Student entrepreneurs Riley and Tessa Gardiner started their jewelry business ‘Daisy Designs’ during Covid lockdown after being inspired by their mother’s similar business. It started as making birthday gifts for friends and turned into a booming brand.
I met Riley last year and she had said she contacted me and just said my sister and I have this business, we sell at the farmers market. And I said, Awesome! I love it!

The girls sell their product not only in the One Stop Trev Shop but also most Saturday mornings at the Winnetka farmers market.
“But we sell from 7:30am to 12:30pm, that was our main source of income and still is,” said junior Riley Gardiner.
The business owners also sell their products by hosting house shows and at local events.
“We’ve also done a few of those for Loyola for their holiday show and then the Kenilworth holiday show,” said freshman Tessa Gardiner.
Duffy encourages her students to reach out if they have a small business and want to put their product in the One Stop Trev Shop to help grow their brand.
“I met Riley last year and she had said she contacted me and just said my sister and I have this business, we sell at the farmers market. And I said, Awesome! I love it!” said Melissa Duffy, One Stop Trev Shop owner.
The One Stop Trev Shop items are just a fraction of their products. They have such a wide variety of necklaces, earrings and bracelets made to fit everyone’s taste.
They sell gold enameled jewelry and colorful bracelets and earrings directed for teenagers and children. For adults they have more gold and silver jewelry.
“We kind of like to target everybody, like we have older adults that like bigger pieces. Yeah, it just depends,” said Tessa.
Daisy Designs has been doing very well in the One Stop Trev Shop according to Duffy. They have made many sales in the shop and have continued on a positive sales track.
Riley and Tessa hope to create even more styles of jewelry in the future to fit an even wider range of people. They plan on continuing to sell at the farmers market and One Stop Trev Shop to build their revenue and their inclusive brand.
